this website address ^^ takes you to an article?feed that i found in the Creative Arts Review the other week. and it was showcasing the windsmith elegy series of book covers.

these book covers really interested me and grabbed my attention as the images looked like a montage of images. looking at lots of images together is really exciting to me.



on the first picture you have the foreground as a statue of some sort and in the background a series of images merged together including cliffs , storms and lightening. this sort of gives you a preview of what the books going to be about or contain. the second picture has a plane in the foreground and a dragon/dinosaur in the background surrounded by fire  and smoke. this is very action packed and you can realise a theme of chases and violent fights between humans and dragons

all the book covers use colours to set a mood, mostly dark colours such as black brown, blue and dark reds. this sets a mood of danger and drama. it would excite me to read the book, i know you shouldnt judge a book by its cover but this would certainly persuade me to read it to see if the story is as exciting as the book cover.
