Page 1: Hunger Games Catching Fire Book Cover Analysis 3

This cover links in most with the Hunger Games colour scheme, the burnt Red-Gold colours. These colours can symbolize a few things in the story, first and mainly the fire, both in the title and a symbol of the main character.It also evokes the danger and violence of the games.Itʼs also quite a royal colour, which can suggest the upperclass rich of the story, who the main characters seek to overthrow.

The MockingJay symbol is the most prominent feature on this cover. The glow emanates out from behind it and the two graphics circle jut out from it. The round nature of the symbol is also built to draw the eye, with the lines leading into the bird and the round border acting as a bullseye.

The circular graphics are quite futuristic, hinting at the Sci-Fi/Future setting. Theyʼre also

clean and stylish symbols, which ties into this whole idea of symbols being important and prominent in the Hunger Games covers.

The “Caching Fire” title is big and bold, coloured in

stark white with a black outline. The white ties into the fire colour scheme, as the white hot center of a flame. This title is the third focus point, with the other two being the authors name and the MockingJay symbol. These are the most important elements, the bits the designer wants you to register. Apart from these three parts the cover is pretty plain.
