I thought Breaking Dawn was going to be a butterfly for transition.
But the chess is still okie.

Wow, that's something. I like the legend a lot. It mostly makes us think about when Edward thought Bella was dead and he was going to kill himself.flo1190 wrote:but new moon . . .im just not having it. all the other covers are significant and so i just won accept that there was no meaning. someone designed it, and knows why so they should just tell us! i did some research and this is what i found:
the flower on the front is a ruffled tulip. the red isnt blood, its how the tulip actually is. the story comes from an old persian or turkish legend. in short there was a young prince who was in love with a girl. when he found out she was dead, he was so destraught that he rode his horse off a cliff. for every droplet of blood that touched the sea, a ruffled tulip grew.
and from then on, the tulip has come to symobolise perfect, true love.

I like that interpretation a lot. I've never heard it before, and it's a really good one.flo1190 wrote:but new moon . . .im just not having it. all the other covers are significant and so i just won accept that there was no meaning. someone designed it, and knows why so they should just tell us! i did some research and this is what i found:

This is an interesting interpretation, and I find I like this theory a lot more than the bogus "there really is no meaning" explanation. The Twilight cover is the classic one, although after the years here I find it a bit done. New Moon's cover really is amazing, and I love the solitary petal eternally falling into space. I think the Eclipse cover is my absolute favorite, as I love and adore ribbon, and also how the torn fibers, the threads hold so much symbolism, with the little piece on the top and the pooling, twisting bit around the bottom... Fabulous. I would love to design book covers someday. In my free time, when I'm not at work. The Breaking Dawn cover is all right, with the symbolism that confused me from the moment the cover was revealed (I originally believed that the white king was Edward and the red pawn Jacob), but rather like the Twilight apple cover, I now find the chess pieces a bit done.flo1190 wrote:the flower on the front is a ruffled tulip. the red isnt blood, its how the tulip actually is. the story comes from an old persian or turkish legend. in short there was a young prince who was in love with a girl. when he found out she was dead, he was so destraught that he rode his horse off a cliff. for every droplet of blood that touched the sea, a ruffled tulip grew.and from then on, the tulip has come to symobolise perfect, true love.think abou this in relation to new moon

She began as the weakest (at least physically, when compared to vampires and werewolves) player on the board: the pawn. She ended as the strongest: the queen. In the end, it's Bella that brings about the win for the Cullens.
