The cover shows the story, there are two covers but the one with the knife has a stronger message for those seeing the book for the first time.scratchcat318 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2018, 20:13 I agree. I really didn't care much for the cover, either. I do like the color scheme that the cover has, with its reds, grays, and blacks, but the image itself wasn't the best. It also really bothers me that the title of the book covers up most of the sword. Would it really have been hard to move the image down or move the text to a better location? It makes it hard to see what he's actually doing when half the sword he's swallowing is covered up.

Exactly. It can help a potential reader to feel more stimulated by an abstract cover and make them more interested in reading the book that way.trulyfreeclub wrote: ↑05 Jun 2018, 22:17I totally agree with you. Probably, a picture of something abstract or animated for the audience to interpret and attract curiosity to readers.

How does it have a stronger message?
