I love a good book cover design, so when a book gets a brand new cover I suddenly turn into a reality show judge. Check out the three YA cover redesigns I recently spotted.
The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith

I’m just not a fan of the hardcover. The silhouettes remind me of 90’s clip-art and the stars look like someone overdid a Photoshop brush. The paperback cover has the same theme and feel of the original cover and I can see the new cover looking great in print. The paperback also matches better with Smith’s other photographic covers.

At first glance the hardcover fits the synopsis of the book; a dystopian with tones of English gentry. The Girl in A Pretty Dress cover has an interesting new dynamic when put into the strong dystopian font. The paperback cover looks like your average circa-2011 Girl in A Pretty Dress and could really get lost in the YA shuffle. I do like the font contrast and the addition of a tagline.
My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga

The cover for debut author Jasmine Warga’s My Heart And Other Black Holes, was switched up before the novel even debuted. I like both covers, but I’m glad they changed this one. The original looked like it was on the TFIOS look alike bandwagon. I like that this new one had more texture to it and the title font placement is more dynamic. Also no more dreaded “&” sign to screw up search engines.
