Book Covers that I like:

I've recently had a look at a range of book covers for inspiration so that I can see what makes a successful book cover design. I have chosen two book cover designs that I believe are successful. The first cover is for the book 'Twilight'.

I think that it's successful because the design itself is not cluttered. It contains a simple image that does not clash with the text. Also, there is a balance of dark and brighter tones.

However, I believe that the message behind the design makes it a strong book cover. The message behind the person holding an apple represents 'forbidden fruit'- linking this to Bella and Edwards relationship.

The second cover design is for the book ' Wonder'.

I think that this design is successful because the image and text work well together. Also, I think that the illustration is successful because the face is blank- suggesting that a persons appearance is not important.

For the next stages, I'm still going to continue to create more character designs so that I can develop them even further. Also, I'm going to continue to produce more designs so I create more collectables. As I've designed characters based on the benefits of eating dark chocolate, Veronica advised m...
