Creative Book Covers



I really like the typography of this book cover. In addition the simplicity of the cover really stands because of the contrast between the different parts of the cover. The words are close together and are somewhat blurred and faded at the edges. This leads the viewer to get a sense of age and a late 1900s history.


The simplicity of this design is pleasing to the eye. The colors used in the over-lapping D and H contrast with each other allowing an eye catching image. The combination of the letters might indicate an intersection or an overlap between two topics of the novel.

The Stranger's classic cover is not only simple but also revealing enough to draw attention to the subject of the novel. With the black angular points drawing to the right midsection of the cover allows for an emotion of being cornered and helpless. However because the points dont extend further the cover foreshadows that the pointed tips won't do any hard. I like that the title is not exacting in the center of the cover.

Love Today

The cover of this novel is extremely plain drawing attention to itself by contrasting with more complicated book covers. I like the font used for the cover. The different fonts go well together because one font is more rugged than the other allowing the viewer to have to decide at which to look at first.


The Giver has an interesting cover to it. At first glance the cover won't as much sense to the viewer. After reading the novel the meaning of the cover will be revealed.

Favorite Books

The book cover of The Mysterious Benedict Society successfully conveys the book's ideas, primarily the personality traits of the characters. Each figure on the cover represents a character in the book. The four people in color are the four main characters of the novel. The silhouettes are supporting characters in the novel. Fittingly they are shadows indicating that these characters contain secrets and are hiding information that they don't reveal right away.
The Mysterious Benedict Society is the first of four books and the cover designs for each are equally as enticing.
