Book cover

Sam, in your essay you analyzed aspects of the cover that I would not have immediately thought of. You brought up interesting points about both the covers and there influence in the classroom, but I still wonder about a few of the points mentioned in your paper. When looking at the covers for “Monster” I definitely agree that they are targeted towards males because the colors used and the male on both covers. Considering that there is a mug shot on Myer’s illustration, it certainly hints that there

Book covers may be argued to be the most important pieces of paper within a piece of writing. They are responsible for sparking interest in readers, determining whether the book will be picked up and read or left behind to collect dust. For example, the cover of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee features a mockingbird- symbolizing the innocence that is lost through contact with evil- that is used to spark curiosity amongst readers about its meaning in the novel. Oftentimes, book covers have a deeper

This book cover is appealing to me because it shows a peaceful farm with clouds hovering above it. The cover depicts the first part of the novel when Claude is one his farm in Nebraska. It shows his farm and his fortunate house in the view, and has peaceful shades of color making it an attractive book cover. I chose this image because One of Ours by Willa Cather has several different book covers. This is one of the most appealing to me because they not only provide a pretty picture but provide an

People have always said not to judge a book by its cover. Well disregard that because in order to analyse a book cover, you have to judge it. The book And Then There Were None written by Agatha Christie has many book jackets, some enticing and some not, but there is one in particular that stands out. This book cover has a good appearance that hints certain occurrences, it has the ability to be alluring as well has having good font, but despite these great qualities, it does have a flaw or two.

Hello and welcome to "Cover to Cover", the segment where I compare and review a book and its movie counterpart. Today, we'll be looking at "The power of one", by Bryce Courtenay. This is an American drama film, set in South Africa in times of apartheid in World War 2. It’s the story of a 6 year old boy named "Peter Philip Kennith Keith", or better known as "Peekay", who struggles against the difficulties of racism, Apartheid and displays how even the power of only one, can change a nation. The

Never Judge a Book By its Cover It is often said to never judge a book by its cover, yet in today’s society judging is a major asset that the citizens of the United States tend to do. In the school house, on the roads, in restaurants, grocery stores, job interviews, and even in the churches are very familiar places where judging has become vital. People are starting to discriminate, stereotype, and evaluate others as a lifestyle rather than a duty. Today, many people are experiencing discrimination

The first new cover I created for Frankenstein depicts Frankenstein’s monster floating off the coast of Ireland after murdering Henry Clerval. I chose to portray this scene because the death of Clerval and the events leading up to it (namely Victor ultimately refusing to create a female partner for the creature) are pivotal moments in the story. They mark the beginning of the bloodthirsty ‘war’ of revenge between Victor and the creature, which results in the death of both the book’s main protagonist

Some of the most iconic graphic design covers you have seen for your favorite movies and books, such as Jurassic Park, were created by Chip Kidd. Have you heard of the movie Watchmen? Wonder? Jaws? All of those covers were designed by Chip Kidd. Kidd has been working on graphic design for around 32 years but, it took him 16 years to sharpen his skills to get to the point where he is now, making 75 covers a year. He grew up in Shillington, Pennsylvania being extremely inspired and interested in American

I wanted to make a book cover that shows how Travis changed his life, so I created two Earth's. The first Earth represents the things that he did wrong and the second Earth represents him changing everything that he had done wrong. The colors that I chose for the first Earth are dark red, dark purple and black. Dark red represents anger because he was upset with his father for not believing in anything that he did. The second color is dark purple and it represents the sad feelings that he had during

Fibber Flowers From the beginning of their days, children are endlessly taught that true beauty lies within, even if the exterior looks rather dull or repulsive. The skeleton of prejudice is based on not wanting something or someone because of one’s precomposed perception, despite the fact that the receiver of the prejudice’s true identity and character are unknown.
