Illustrated by Mike Lawrence, this cover demonstrates a cartoon characterization of a young woman that represents the lead character of a new young adult novel called The Incredible of Cinnamon Girl. Compositing various elements, this cover contains a variation of colors, and design styles resembling comic books from the 1950s. Up close you are able to see the illustrator has incorporated an artistic style referred to as Ben-Day Technique. This technique was widely used among artists during the pop art movement. This technique involved dots that were spaced out equally along the entire page.

The characters face on the cover was zoomed in and half of her face is edited off the page. By vertically cropping her face down the middle, this has given the impression to the viewer that there is more to be seen. Creating an image that doesn’t fully explain itself creating a certain level of curiosity to the audience.
