I am working on this book cover for my illustration class.
The attached file is my first draft. The one with the spine and the back cove is supposed to have evolved from it.
What are your thoughts?

I've tried to delete it but couldn't figure out how.

Could you explain a little bit more in detail what this illustration is supposed to represent? I don't read this language, so I really have no idea what the title is or what the book is about.
Why is the figure vomiting flowers????

I think it's a great design, the illustration totally makes sense. I don't have much to say about it, maybe the type on the back can be a little bit bigger? not sure. Great job though.
I did the same thing for school except cronicas de una muerte anunciada

I think I get the idea now. I looked up the word cholera and saw what it meant. Now that I see that, I can see why the figure is vomiting flowers.
So sorry.

...the angle of the type on the front.
That in my experience doesn't go down well on book covers.

everything is too big... use your negative space to your advantage
I don't like the angle of the title either.
And as far as I know, the hallmark symptom of cholera is diarrhea, not vomiting (although there might be some vomiting involved). But then again, I guess you wouldn't want flowery diarrhea on the cover of a book.
Not unless you have lots of tp, which then again might be pretty cool as the first tear-out pages at the beginning of the book...that and a HUGE booster....
