Judging a book by it's Cover

Heroes and Villains didn't apeal to me because of its cover. Im not that into greek myths and all that, so when I saw the giant sycho cyclops I only got the book because it was small. If you ask me the cover is to blue, blue background and blue image. One good thing though is that the name Heros and Villains stands out because its yellow, which is good because the title is probably the most importent part of the book, I mean how many times have I mentioned the name Heroes and Villains throughout this blog.

Having an interesting image really is an importent part of making an appealing cover. For example the book breaking dawn, the cover has a chess piece. to Te a chess piece seems really random, but at the same time it seems interesting. Also the book putting something really obvious on the cover isn't ideal, like Heroes and Villains has a cyclops, I was dissapointed.

With my friends cody Howley's book Trash the thing that stands out the most is that the people are seriosly littering. But what the designer has done is he's put the title really big, which is good because thats the most importent part. Unlike Heroes and Villains where the authors name is the main attraction.
