In my story, The Murder Story of Gus and Beans, I made this cover to show that it was a murder story by giving Gus a mask commonly shown in murder movies. And I also gave Gus a weapon that he uses. Also with the story I made a background with a moon and clouds to represent it being a dark and stormy night. The color of the background is black because it is use to represent night and the words are in blue because its color contrasts that of the dark night. The picture of Beans is to represent Gus's next victim.
