The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Book Covers Edition)

I found this book cover very appealing because not only does it pop out with the color choices, it shows "a hopeless romantic". With the girl going on top of the fountain, dancing around with an umbrella tops puts the icing on a cake to how it feels to be lucky in love and uses the pink to distinguish the umbrella and the author's name, which is very nice. Also, I love that the leaves on the trees are heart-shaped and shows a magical theme.

Actually, I had bought this book just because of the cover back when I was a sophomore in high school and absolutely loved the book. Though the title and author text are very simple, it doesn't need anymore than this because of the picture and how it brings an element of mystery. From how they had the person peeking out behind the bushes, having only half of the person showing, and the element of sadness that this brings made me go Wow!

Alright, so I feel in love with it's simple idea (especially the title). It takes the key points that you would look on a naked boy doll and "censors" it out with the title that is very clever. It also points out the "anatomy" of the boyfriend, including the next (a.k.a. "the hickey zone"). Using so little colors, simplicity, and the dots to distinguish the title and author makes for one great book cover that I'll remember.

Oh my! Oh dear! This is the book cover that I will be redoing, but it seems to be very... corny. The text first seems to be going in completely different directions, uses a combination of many different fonts, styles, and actions to create a creepy effect. Secondly, the background is very distracting with it's different combination of pictures and colors. Lastly, though it's completely "awesome", I love how the bunny and the raccoon are so monstrous. It's completely bad, but so bad it's awesome.
