The Red House, cover designed by Suzanne Dean

The little detail of the broken plate design intersecting over the red house is the most subtly obvious and appreciated detail. The book is about a family coming together after a death of one of their own. With the witty and dysfunctional premise as a centerpiece, this cover is a great reflection of the story. The red type is also a nice tie-in for the cover, if it was any other color, the cover just would not pop as much. The only thing that bothers me slightly about the cover is the cracked line of the design does not go through the type in 'Red House' so it just doesn't  look as pieced together as it should. Overall, a good design and something that would definitely catch my eye in a book store.
