"Everything is Illuminated"


Here is a picture for a book cover that one of my friends received for free.  It's function is to draw attention for the readers.  The typography is big and colorful.  It's design is simple, but still catches eyes.  It only includes the title rather than having an image too.  I think it did a great job with its overall design.  The gradient of colors and big text attracted it to me which I really enjoy.

New-Wave


This is a poster for the "New Wave" typography.  It introduces a different style of design.  I came across this poster while exploring Tumblr.  The design is unique from others, with the movement of text, bright colors, and use of diagonal lines.  Even though it is pretty simple, it still serves its purpose well.  The bright pink and yellow attracted me to it as well as the curving title.

Book Cover


This is a cover design for the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Its function is to draw peoples' attention and have them read the book.  I came across this on Pinterest while trying to find a good book to read even though I've already read this book.  The style is fun and bold; the red and the yellow really pop.  The typography has many curves as well.  I think it's great quality overall and is a great alternative cover.
