Seen at my favorite bookstore:
These two books were being sold side-by-side. They are not related, nor are the covers made by the same illustrator or designer.
It's odd that they don't have anything specific in common: the typefaces are very different, and the color schemes. But the overall appearance screams "we are the same" despite those differences.
The illustration style is, clearly, almost identical: you could just about pick up the man or woman from one cover and drop them onto the other cover in a different pose. And the fragmented patterning in the background is in the same ballpark, each with its bright solid colors.
The funniest thing is the tiny words "A NOVEL" in the lower right corner of the left book cover. As if we might think it was nonfiction!
