This usually doesn't bother me obviously, but it is interesting to see how each publisher / art team has used the same image to portray a different book.Cialina at Muggle-Born.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149012619221886587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483888159563066764.post-43539502269801039822011-05-04T08:07:08.356-07:002011-05-04T08:07:08.356-07:00I'm alright with girl in dresses.

It may not fit a scene in the book or the character's actual style of clothing but it usually seems to go with the type/mood of the book, if that makes sense.<br /><br />Seeing the same picture over and over on a book cover though I have to say does irk me.<br /><br />Like these two which use the same image of a guy.<br /><br />http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9002468-end-of-days<br /><br />http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8246177-nicholas-dane<br /><br />And I don't know if this is an official cover since its really just the image of the guy but someone placed it up as a "cover" on goodreads.<br /><br />http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8528645-cabel-s-storySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842315793902005771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483888159563066764.post-16734450622802886462011-05-04T06:01:15.653-07:002011-05-04T06:01:15.653-07:00Oh yes.

Yes, they ARE beautiful -- but they're so not original anymore. I like a cover to depict the story, or at least relate to it in someway. I know the author has no say over this, but still. Can't the cover designer at least have a clue what the story is about?!<br /><br />As for re-using people on covers. It happens. And yes, I hate it too. This is why I prefer THINGS on covers, as opposed to PEOPLE.Ginger @ GReads!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17725314423163879042noreply@blogger.com
