I would love a critique, an impression, a scathing commentary, a few words on a related subject,* for someone to go off on a tangent, or even a few unsolicited compliments on this, my first attempt at a marketing image.
Ahem. That bein' said, (and I'm just sayin',) please tell me all about how bad covers don't sell good books, and all that short-story long crap.
Hello to all of you in Russia. Russia is a great country, and I hope you all learn English very, very soon, so that you all can read a whole bunch of my books. Spacebo comrades.
Thank you very much and good day. Oh, and I promise to put the skull back in the ROM tomorrow before Curly the minimum-wage unarmed security guard wakes up just in time to go home.) -louis
P.S. Yes I know my signature begins with a lower case letter. It's like a little peccadillo.
*But I ain't going to get it, am I?
This is the end of this post. Stop reading it.
I love the cover. It is awesome. The red background makes it pop. It would get my attention in the library. The letter makes it look different in a charming fashion. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks K.D. This is not necessarily the final product.
ReplyDeleteI would move your name up just a smidge because at a smaller resolution, it's hard to distinguish the (dark and lighter red) colors--I always shrink things down to look at covers, since that will likely be a person's first impression. It definitely says that dead people will somehow be involved in this story. Aside from that one little tweak, I really like it. That red color really makes your skull stand out.
ReplyDeleteI like it but have you tried stark black for the background with the white scull and the lettering all in dripping red? Just a thought.

We'll see what happens, as I'm sure this will evolve over the next while. Thanks for your comments.
