The ‘1984′ cover is great but I think the ‘Animal Farm’ cover should be green. Don’t you agree comrades.
i think both covers are good on the design, capturing with it the dark themes of both novels. I would agree with Joe though that black and green might look good for the animal farm cover.
The 1984 design looks solid to me, while the Animal Farm design has some things that pop out in quite an unflattering way. The arrows are a big question mark and the chickens are kinda too big to be a border design. Again, I think it is a pretty well done piece of art.
