Double Page Cover



These books all use 1 main image for the cover, across the front, back and spine of the book. This is useful to make the cover flow and fit in as a whole cover. A double page cover is often used to draw the audience in and catch their attention. they will see an image that is placed on the front cover and follows over the spine to the back cover of the book. The person who picks the book up will follow the image across the book to where they can read more about the book before opening it. 

Bristol Short Story Prize Anthology




This book uses both the back and front cover of the book as 1 main image. This is useful to make the cover flow and fit in as a whole cover. the audience will look at the cover with the waves and then turn the book to see where they lead and to see if there is another boat on the back of the book.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find 
















This book also uses an image that is both on the back and front of the book. on the front cover there is a hat in the top right of the book and under it is what looks like it is a road, but when you turn to the back cover you find that there is a hand and the road was actually an arm and the stitching on a top. on the hand there is a blue butterfly that stands out and the audiences attention has been led from the hat in the top corner of the front page down the arm/ road to the hand witch holds the bright blue “glowing” butterfly.


Examples


These are some of the examples i found of other books that use a single main image across the cover.
