The Group By Mary McCarthy Qualities of original book: On the book cover, there is the title with flowers around it that look very old and have a vintage look. The background looks very old and the color makes it look more old than new. The typography doesn't seem that old, but can use a newer one. Instead of having that long quote there, I feel that it could use the 8 women in "The Group" to make it more new and improved. To make the flowers look more new and fun, they should be changed to a fun color instead of just white. I think that light grey is the color that everyone loves and uses now a days, so instead of a tan background, I think it should be a light grey. I am going to add more color to the cover to make it more fun and something people will be drawn to instead of hardly any color.
