Book Cover

I chose the book Eat, Pray, Love. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! Wikipedia offered this summary of the book, if you are not familiar.....

"At 32 years old, Gilbert was educated, had a home and a husband, and successful career as a writer. However, she was not happy; she was depressed with her marriage, often spending the night crying on her bathroom floor. She divorced her husband and entered into a relationship with another man, but this relationship did not work out either. She decided that she needed a change. She spent the next year traveling the world. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, trying to find her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two, and love (Love)"





The book cover, which was designed by Helen Yuntus, is one of my favorite book covers ever created. It is simple, yet draws direct reference to Elizabeth's travels by incorporating elements that can easily be related to the countries she traveled to. Because I loved this cover so much, it became very hard for me to devise up an alternative cover without constantly finding myself coming back to the books original cover and design.
