Next, my own tour post:
I think I have posted about the importance of a book cover before (as have many). So I thought I would post a couple of the other possible covers I was considering for Secrets. You will see they are almost identical to what I did end up using. What I can't show you are the sixty photos I took just to get this one that worked for me. Yes, sixty photos. I went close up, far away, different angles, different lighting, a larger circuit board, no flashlight, etc. I am so glad for my next book (The Devil's Game coming this month) I have a cowriter who is also an awesome artist and photographer, who did our cover!
So are a couple of covers I didn't use:
Must say the one you went with is the best one of these three. The photographer in me is curious to see the other 60 photos. I think the font choice is what really grabs the viewer.
ReplyDeleteSorry Barbra - I am the anti pack rat and those photos were deleted the day after I chose the cover:( I will agree, looking back, that I made the best choice!
