Taken by Erin Bowman
How intense is this cover?!? The colors are all so bright and eye catching, especially the orange sky. There are so many different colors and elements to look at; it's like a sensory overload.
The first thing I notice is the gnarly tree branch at the top that is also reflected at the bottom, what I like most is that it doesn't necessarily look like the trees reflection. It also looks like it could be cracks in the glass floor, and maybe that's the reason the boy is running.
Another thing I really like is the expressiveness of the title TAKEN. The designer made it so that the K is a little higher than all the other letters, which gives the idea of it being sucked up into the sky like it's being abducted. By making that one simple adjustment it brought the whole word to life.
Any thoughts?
