One book or movie becomes a phenomenon. Next thing you know, practically every book or movie of an even remotely similar genre gets a cover or a poster that takes the design motif of the phenomenon's. This isn't just new books or movies either. Sometimes old books or movies get a re-release (in the case of movies this means a new DVD) with a new cover that does this. Sometimes, this is a good thing, bringing new attention to a work that deserves it. More often, it's just pointless. Distinct from just pure homage, where the cover is deliberately designed to make the viewer think of that specific work — this is a marketing thing. Also different from tie-in covers, which exist to let movie-goers know that the thing they saw was based on a book. (Even Twilight got those, for some reason.) See also: Copycat Cover, which is this trope taken to the point to quasi-marketing fraud. |

Since the publication of The Dry (later filmed), many Australian crime novels have developed very similar covers, with photographs of rural areas fading to black and long, narrow, sans-serif titles in white. | |

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer tie-in books have been released in new omnibus editions, with covers that look suspiciously like the Twilight collector's editions (white cover, solitary object, red and black detail). Even more suspiciously, they were released at a similar time as the Twilight editions, and have been shoved in the 'Twilight rip-off' sections of UK bookstores, along with the new editions of The Vampire Diaries and Wuthering Heights. | |

The posters to Away We Go, Year of the Dog, and Surfwise all have a cartoonish quality to them. Small wonder, they were all designed by the same company, who also handled the posters for several comic book movies, including 300, Watchmen, Whiteout, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014). Ironically enough, those posters do not use comics imagery to sell the film. | |
