Book Cover

This is my newest creation. It is a redone book cover for the all American classic, The Great Gatsby. I fell in love with the fade-away girl the first time I ever saw one and I have been waiting for my chance to use her. So...here she is. I chose to do the decorative flowers down the side because of the hidden meaning they hold. They are dahlias which represent betrayal, which plays a very large role in the book. The type was downloaded from dafont.com, so thank you to them for giving us such awesome fonts. I hope you all like it. I'm not so sure how I feel about the line of silhouettes in the background but we will see.
