"Don't judge a book by its cover." is a bad idiom, because bookcovers are desinged to represent the content of the book.

The point of a book cover is to cover the book.

That’s one of the purposes of a cover, you could achieve it without any design effort.

But that’s not the point, not the main purpose of a book cover. Your previous poster is right, the cover is advertising the book.

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
