Brainstorm ideas for Book Cover












I brainstormed 3 different genres of books: Fiction, Non Fiction and Childrens Books. There are two mind maps for fiction as I found quite a lot of books. Here are some of my ideas:

Fiction

  • The Lord of the Rings
  • The Lovely Bones
  • The Kite Runner
  • Wuthering Heights
  • A Chill in the Air
  • Moby Dick
  • Breaking Bad
  • A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Twilight 
  • The Clockwork Orange 
  • A Wife's Tale
  • Leviathan
  • Moby Dick
All these books include either, water, air, fire or earth in some way so have relevance. Some even include more than one element.

Non Fiction
  • Dinosaurs- when the comet crashed on the earth and wiped them out. 
  • Gardening book which could be about anything such as: vegetables, cacti, trees, flowers, fungi etc.
  • Wildlife- garden pests, insects such as: butterflies and bees etc.
  • Natural world disasters like: Tsunamis, Volcanoe eruptions, earthquakes and hurricanes.
  • Autobiographies and biographies
Childrens Books
  • Charlotte's Web
  • The Secret Garden
  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar
  • James and the Giant Peach
  • Alice in Wonderland
  • The Wind in the Willows
  • Midnight
  • Candyfloss 
  • Dragonfly
  • The Rainbow-Fish
The two ideas I like the most is a non-fiction book and a fiction book. The non-fiction book is one that I would create myself about dinosaurs because I could incorporate more than one element on my cover. I could have an image of earth (earth) a comet hurtling towards earth (fire) and the oceans on earth (water). The other idea that I liked was a fiction book called 'The Wind in the Willows' which also has a lot of relevance to the elements.
