I've always wanted to do a post like this seeing as I'm kind of obsessed with book covers. I think we all admire them to a certain extent. After all, they're the first thing we see before picking up a book and they're goal is to draw you in and catch your attention. I thought it would be cool to show you a guys what a few pictures looked like before they were turned into book covers.
Almost Perfect
I really love this cover. I like how the lipstick is smudged and how it ties into the title. I always like it when faces are blurred out or not entirely visible because it lets you imagine the character on your own.
I Know It's Over
There are next to no differences with this cover. I really enjoy the simplicity though.
Wintergirls
I think this cover is fantastic. I love the added sparkles as well as the text placement.
Perfect Chemistry
I don't think a better picture could have been found. I love how the book cover added tattoos and they also changed what look to be hair elastics on the girl's wrist in the original, into a diamond bracelet for the cover. They also changed the grass to concrete. One of my favourite covers for sure.
