OK. These are some of the book covers that have caught my interest. A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby is a story about four people who all happen to go up to the same rooftop on New Year's Eve to commit suicide. They end up becoming a somewhat reluctant group of friends and support. The simple way the the text is displayed is effective. Just reducing the font size creates the effect of descent and goes along with the topic of the book perfectly.Push by Sapphire is simple and illustrative as well. I had to read this for a class a few years ago. it is a very difficult book to read because of all the things the main character has to go through: rape, incest, violent abuse, illiteracy, childbirth, AIDS, etc. A simple font is used. The colors used communicate severity to my mind. The size of the font illustrates the pushing of the boundaries of the character's capacities and the author's graphic writing.
The other ones just really caught my attention, but I am not really able to explain why. I just really like them, especially Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451 and The Great Gatsby.
