                                        This is my new book cover version of Lord of the Flies. This cover represents what the story of Lord of the Flies is all about. It's about a story of trust, collapsing society and survival. My cover shows that because the red eyes represents the beast that lurks on the island. You can see the kids are covered in blood, looking like barbaric animals. Also a quote on top from one of the character from the book named piggy, saying "we may stay here, till we die".  This is what makes my version of the cover better than the original. It's also eye-catching and appealing because I used bold colors and you can see the red bold eyes first and everything on the cover makes the book look interesting.

This is the original "Lord of the Flies" book cover. It's very old-fashioned because this cover has a pencil sketch like drawing.  Also the for the majority they used one color frequently which is this dreadful yellow color. If you look at this cover 2 inches away you still have to look closer cause the cover is so busy, it's hard to understand immediately on whats happening. There are trees and bushes in the same color that it's hard to distinguish the kids in the cover.  Over all this book cover looks outdated just on how this cover looks. Most people don't necessarily grab every book they see and read couple pages about it, they quickly judge the book on how the cover is presented, unfortunately this cover is not really eye-catching.
