My boyfriend was reading this book a while ago and mentioned that he really liked the cover of the book. I don't know what the book is about, so I'll just talk about the cover by itself from a design standpoint. For me, I mean immediately drawn the the boxes that the man is carrying. They are of a common rectangle shape but are at an angle and are therefore dynamic. There is also the pop of red next to them that is also very attracting. My eyes then travel to the hunched over man carrying his heavy burden. Then I am drawn the the lady pasted onto the side of the truck. Her eyes and the line that is created by her back leads me back to the man. A very well composed piece that draws the viewer in and keeps them in. I think the picture as a whole symbolizes the life style difference of people from different classes in China.
