I really like this one because it is almost like spatter paint but there is an image within it. Also this cover does represent the story because the title is the storm and the picture is after the storm. And the spatter paint is like a storm which is chaotic.
This was more funny to me because when I read the title which is "Forgetting Things"and then I see a person with the head no attached, I thought of "Are you forgetting something?" and it was that the person is forgetting his or her head.
What attracted me to this cover is that there are a bunch of shopping bags and since I like to go shopping, I wanted to know what was happening. Also I wanted to know why the person has so many shopping bags and how it is significant to the story and its plot.
The thing that caught my attention was the cover because it actually scared me at first but and it reminded me of when I used plaster during art class to make an animal. I did not like the cover that much at first but then when I read the title, this cover made sense to me. The plaster mask probably represents the story in the sense that the character has a mask on and that is why it is so empty.
I first noticed this cover because there is a pair of glasses on it and I wear glasses myself. When I looked closer, I saw that in each lens, there is a different image and that made me interested in what was going on.
Other than the "Forgetting Things" cover, all the titles are centered. The type on each cover has more than just one font and side. In all the covers, there is some sort of image on it but not all the images are big. Nor are all the images colorful. One thing that draws me to some of these covers is that there is a personal connection I can make such as the glasses and shopping bags. The other ones just pop up using the colors and images that make me want to take a closer look. I realized that other than one cover, all of the others had some sort of white or light cover to the cover and use something against that whiteness to make the image or the focal point stand out. The difference is that all the images are very different and that none really connect to each other so it is not that Im drawn to a certain type of story but that the covers stand out to me and make me interested. The size of the title is also very different. For "The Storm", the title is not that big and is the in the center of the book but "Confession of a Mask" has a big letters for the title and is positioned at the bottom of the cover.
The "Moral Relativism" book cover immediately caught my eye because of the sleek grey background and the trees inside the glasses. This is my favorite book cover out of the 5 you selected. It gives me a sense that this book is very sophisticated.
ReplyDelete"Forgetting Things" is a really interesting book cover because it takes thing literally. The body has actually forgotten the head and left it back.
ReplyDeleteI like the last book cover because it is simple yet attractive. I am draw into the images inside the glasses. It is almost the same image but at different season since one of the tree don't have a lot of leaves.
ReplyDeleteI chose the first book cover, too! I agree with what you said- I also liked how part of the cover is calming, yet also seems chaotic.
ReplyDeleteI like your last book cover because I chose it as my favorite as well. I really liked how it is very simple glasses, yet the inside of the glasses seem like there is a deeper message. I also really like the first book cover because it seems like I can look into someone's life and see "the storm" in life. It seems as if the truth have been covered up for a long time and finally the dust is cleared away from the window to see the truth.
