Cover Design-a-palooza: Time to Vote on Wordsworth!
I am working on a joint venture with author Scotti Cohn on her cool YA novel, Wordsworth and the Dragon. I have done 6 cover sketches and we have a poll set up. Vote on your favorite at the link below.

I vote for sketch 2 (the dragon in the shape of a 'C'). All are awesome sketches, though!
ReplyDeleteWe have a poll on the website if you want to vote. I am not sure which I like best... I lean toward 4, but 2 could be really striking.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone who voted. The decision is really tough!

ReplyDeleteAll of these are really appealing in ways, and show an impressive effort to explore the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to cast a vote when the content of the book and the target audience is a mystery.
If you plan on taking the winning concept and going straight to final, I'd say that concept 1 is the closest to finished and the safest.
If you are planning on developing the winning concept further, I'd pick 2 or 3.
If this book is for very young children, or girls only, I'd be more likely to go for 4
If the horned character is really important in the story, I'd be more likely to vote for 5
If a film is in the works, and the art will double as a movie poster: 6.
Very thoughtful comments Chuck, I know you deleted the type critique, but that is helpful too. The type will change with the final. I will put a lot more thought into it when I choose the design I will go with. Plus, a lot changes with color. I have had a lot of fun with the sketches.
ReplyDelete6 does have a Goonies feel doesn't it? I just noticed...
Thanks, Christina. Whichever one you go with, It'll look great!
ReplyDeleteI deleted the comment, because it was just too long-winded. I try to write relevant responses, but I have to be careful I'm not boring our readers to tears, either.
Funny comment about the Goonies! I don't remember that poster, but in the 80's posters (good as they were) sort of threw everything —including the kitchen sink —at you.
