I wanted my cover to be bold, simple and effective. I chose a neutral colour for the background as I didn't want to distract from the moose illustrations. I chose the moose because the 'very mooseful' plaque could be interpreted to mean that the book is useful (even though it's a nonsense book).
Another reason I used the moose was because the twinned images meant I could keep a theme between the front and back covers, again keeping it simple but in my opinion quite effective indeed.
