if YA covers were advertisements |

I know I can’t be the only one who believes that a lot of YA covers are really subliminal marketing messages for products put out there for market research…right? Because if they are — marketing people, YOU ARE BRILLIANT.

Below are a few covers I’ve pulled from my cover stash that I feel may be YA covers posing as product advertisements. You never can be too careful, right? For all we know P&G could be pulling some major puppet strings here.

You can’t not tell me this cover isn’t an ad for lipstick.

I’m just looking out for the good of all of us, dear readers. Cover art could actually be covert art. So remember that the next time you see a SGiPD cover. That cover model may just be helping to test the waters for a new Valentino line.
