Least Favorite Types of Covers
I will first share my 5 least favorite types of covers before I continue with my favorites. As I do not want to offend any authors, I will not be posting the book covers and titles under this segment. This list is in no particular order.
Thoughts: I cannot stand covers with real life models. Although I said this list is in no particular order - this is the one type of cover that I absolutely cannot stand.
Thoughts: Have you ever seen those covers where there seems to be too many things in it and it feels like the cover designer added too many details? Yeah, I really dislike those kinds of covers.
3. Fakish Covers
Thoughts: Sometimes people really need to go for photoshop lessons. There are some covers that really look very fake because the photoshop wasn't done well.

Thoughts: There are so many covers with really horrible fonts that I can name and I honestly wished I could change it because the effect would be so much better.
5. Covers with dull colors
Thoughts: I know that this seems weird but I really dislike books that have weird dull colors. I am fine if its used with significance but there are some books that have really weird colors that don't make sense and don't fit the cover.

4. Covers with Significance/Symbols
I love covers that have a simple single symbol of some sort but holds much significance to the book, such as these books:
5. Simple but Mysterious Covers
I really like these covers because although they don't really tell you much about the story itself, they make you intrigued with the story with all the mysterious elements found in the cover that makes you go "What kind of cover is that?! I still want to read it though." :P
