The Giver by Lois Lowry Book Cover Redesign #22 Certainly one of my personal favorites growing up, "The Giver" blew my mind.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Book Cover Re-Design (For Sale)

Judge A Book (judgeabook) — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:45:24 -0700

When tackling The Grapes of Wrath, it being a social realist novel, I decided to air on the semi-comical side depicting a raisin. Since a grape that has been writhed quite literally is a raisin. Compiled with a collage of newspaper articles during the great depression of the 1930's. Check out my website, www.judgeabook.us for other book covers, and my portfolio at www.zacharyallott.com
