Note the whimsical backgrounds and domineering Helvetica/San Serif font. I can't help but to notice that this image style seems to be making its way onto YA covers. Maybe this is the new Pretty Girl In Dress ?
Do you like this new trend ? Let me know your thoughts below.
I honestly wouldn't mind this trend in covers! so much better than the girls in pretty dresses!!

I think like any trend, some make the cut, and some don't. Some people figure out how to do trends better than others. Some of those covers I like, some not so much.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sans serif fonts, but I dk t rwally
ReplyDeleteLike the first five covers. I only like the cover for Uses for Boys. I dont want there to be so many colors and all. Just plain and simple would be perfect for me. :)
This is a pretty interesting idea, and I do think it may be a new trend. Some of them work for me and some of them don't.
ReplyDeleteI can see this. Then You Were Gone isn't my favorite. It's a little hard to read on the screen.
ReplyDeleteI agree ! It's a bit more creative
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this trend and it is thousand times better than the pretty girl in dress trend which has been overused and just gone meh.
ReplyDeleteYES, I've been totally noticing this! And I happen to like it. Well, I like it more than the hipster edits, where it's a vintage photo and a random quote. I also like it more than the girl in dress trend.
ReplyDeleteLike Sophia, I think I'm liking this 'new cover age'! At least, much better than the pretty girls in dresses one. I think the simplicity of these fonts look really good on some covers, compared to other fancier fonts. But I hope that this doesn't become too overused, as trends usually are.
ReplyDeleteI think it works better for some novels than for others - the Not a Drop to Drink cover seems about as creepy as its description...
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I'd noticed it before, but now that you pointed out I think I like this trend :)
ReplyDeleteFor me it looks like the bigger this font is the better it looks. So, Uses for Boys is my least favorite, and Invisibility is the one I like best.
Wow, very interesting!!! I guess I hadn't noticed before. I actually kind of like it because I've been enjoying those covers... but I'm also glad to see a decline in the "girls in pretty dresses" trend! :)
ReplyDeleteI've actually noticed the same thing, walking into Barnes and Noble last week, but didn't really know what it was called. I don't really mind covers like this, as long as they have something to do with the story. The point of a cover is to have it catch someone's eye, and pick up the book to see what its about; these covers do that job!
