Red Dog

I really like the cover of the book "Red Dog". It has a very simple color scheme and uses very formal font type. The title is sized well so that it almost aligns with the authors name. A thin line and a small illustration are located in between the title and author to provide division while still providing organization. The additional comment at the bottom of the book cover is in the same color as the background of the cover. A dog is running on the illustration and is the same color as the title and author text. The title, author, and tag are all in different sized fonts creating hierarchy by keeping the more important info larger. I think that the uses of these three colors repeatedly makes sure that the cover doesn't get too complicated or distracting. The text is  balanced well and the cover looks great while not overcomplicating the design elements.
