Due to the size of the graphic, it is the main focal point. It’s colourful but it’s an optical illusion that makes you think that it’s either a tiger or a group of children stood by a tree with a bear beside them. It is my favourite mainly due to how the graphic that is used. I prefer the cover on the right hand side daily because you don’t need words to realise what the title of the book is. Someone took this title seriously and has decided to create an image of a bird stood on a hooped rope, as if it was about to get hanged. This is a book cover that was created for the book called To Kill A Mockingbird. I really like that effect because it creates a mood that sets you up before you even read the book. The cover must be a photograph because the lines seem to be blurred the closer they are to the edge. This makes them look like a real puppet and it helps your eyes travel to that word. I believe that the word Puppet stands out the most due to the lines that come off from each letter. I can tell by the lack of graphics and the simplicity that it has.
Research This is a type-based book cover. Thanks to this, a lot more people find interest in the book and its content. Thanks to simplicity, graphics and interesting colours, books have become more colourful and eye-catching. But after some time, this changed, when designers to treat book covers as a form of advertisement for their stories. The design for the covers was really simple too, it didn’t contain much colour and only the title and the name of the author. By giving a hard cover around the book, it protected the pages from ripping, benging and creasing. The main idea behin book covers was to protect the content pages that are inside. Some background on book covers in general
My favourite book/movie of the series is the Prisoner of Askaban, so this is how I made my second choice for the book. I have also decided to do a cover for one of my Harry Potter books. Since, I know more or less what happens in the books, I have decided to go with the fantasy genre and do a book cover for the first Game of Thrones book (a game of thrones). On top of the list were the Game of Thrones series. I am not really into books because I am more of a visual person, but I have asked a friend of mine to give me a list of his favourite books. In this unit, we have been asked to produce a book cover for two books of our choice.
