Let's Judge the Book by Its Cover♥Giveaway: Becoming Human by Eliza Green

Two worlds. Two species. One terrifying secret.

In 2163, a polluted and overcrowded Earth forces humans to search for a new home. But the exoplanet they target, Exilon 5, is occupied. Having already begun a massive relocation programme, Bill Taggart is sent to monitor the Indigenes, the race that lives there. He is a man on the edge. He believes the Indigenes killed his wife, but he doesn’t know why. His surveillance focuses on the Indigene Stephen, who has risked his life to surface during the daytime.

Stephen has every reason to despise the humans and their attempts to colonise his planet. To protect his species from further harm, he must go against his very nature and become human. But one woman holds a secret that threatens Bill’s and Stephen’s plans, an untruth that could rip apart the lives of those on both worlds.



Will it attract my attention in a book store? Personally no. But that is simply because I don't think I read much of the genre with covers like this.
 
Pros? Very beautifully designed, by that I mean it is photoshopped perfectly and the fonts, etc fits very well. It is clean, simple and direct.

Cons? I don't particularly hate anything because I really don't know how this cover could've designed better. Personally I won't change one thing about the cover. If things have to change, the whole cover have to start from scratch and be designed from another POV (by that I mean that the redesigned cover have to be completely different from this one, so no changing the font, the colours etc). 

Colour Scheme?I love it! It is crisp, bright but also misty-ly scary. <----I hope that makes sense. :P I mean the planet totally attracted my attention because of the bright colours!

Let's Judge the Book by its Cover: The Immortal Rules

Let's Judge the Book by Its Cover is not a weekly meme, but more like a super flexible meme. You can post when ever you want; no commitment required. I am pretty sure some awesome people out there in the amazing blogosphere probably came up with something similar but these LJdBbiC (yes, the short hand is still long) posts basically will be me and my sister judging the covers of recent cover releases. We might be harsh sometimes depending on the covers but we just want to get our thoughts out there. Censorship, absolutely zero.
 
Will it attract my attention in a book store?
Yup! I mean I know I am not a fan of "girl face" covers but I do say they attract my attention. Plus this one is very dark and creepy looking, which is slightly different from most "girl face" covers.
Pros?
The darkness. It really draws your attention. The dirty edge makes it really cool looking; it looks old and worn.
Cons?
I do think it is slightly bad photoshopping. It looks a little harsh and unrealistic.

Hi guys, welcome to Let's Judge the Book by Its Cover. This is not a weekly meme, but more like a super flexible meme. You can post when ever you want; no commitment required. I am pretty sure some awesome people out there in the amazing blogosphere probably came up with something similar but these LJdBbIC (yes, the short hand is still long) posts basically will be me and my sister judging the covers of recent cover releases. We might be harsh sometimes depending on the covers but we just want to get our thoughts out there. Censorship, absolutely zero. This time it is only me; my sister bailed and wants to sleep more. So here goes nothing?
