The Roving Reader

Love the way the cover art plays tricks on the eyes.  First glance...didn't see the swans, just a design!  Second glance...swans!  The combination with the font choice gives it a creepy sorts edge too in my opinion....

  1. I love graphics/pics that "play" with the eyes. In this one I saw the swans right away and you are right, there is a bit of a creepy edge to the cover art and fonts!

  6. Isn't that strange - my eyes went instantly to the swans. Then I saw that the bottom two made a heart shape.
