There are so many elements to be analyzed in my original picture of the 3D book cover. The 3D art adds so much to the image as far as animation and realism. First, the colors. There isn’t a huge variety of different colors in this image. The contrast between the two color suits, one a dark blue color and one a light white, makes a good distinction between the two men. Perhaps, the colors represent good and evil. The man in the white suit could be the good guy fighting the evil man wearing the darker color. This is also done on the cover of “Good and Evil” shown on the left, you can see how the artist used white for good and the darker, red color for evil. The color of the skin in both men is very vivid as well, bringing more life to the men. The bright red lined pages really stick out too. In addition the little text that is shown on the page, emphasizes it is a book. Many older books around the era in which these men are dressed have a color lining on the pages, this can tell what decade this book may take place. Second, the materials. I assume it is made out of paper since most book covers are made of paper. If so, that would be very original, while keeping the same concept of a paperback book. The size of the image is very believable as well. It is the actual size of a book with a very close zoom on it from directly in front of the book, as if someone just delicately set the camera on the table and let the self timer take the picture. The isolation of the object with the void, black background makes us focus so much more on the two men, as if they really did pop out of no where. The arms are very balanced in this image. Each man’s arm tells so much about the situation. The arm ripping right through the cover with a fist at the end shows the force and anger from him and represents a fight. The other man’s arm has a deformed looking hand with its fingers beginning to coil into a fist show the amount of pain and suffering he is experiencing. Fourth, the characters. The characters in this image are the focal point, they are vital. They tell us what is going on, a fight. Their body language, as I mentioned in previous posts, lets us know how they are feeling. The material chosen I thought was genius and so creative. To bring a book cover to life the way this artist did was so fun and entertaining. The image is definitely trying to persuade us to look in to this book further and read it! It conveys the message that books can be very interesting and intense, if you use your imagination and look deeper than just the text, reading a story can be an adventure, more so than you would think.
