The Book Cover

This cover is just a simple idea that I wanted to share because I think it's cool. I also have no concept of what makes a book cover look "good," so I'm not sure how valid my approval is. But alas, take of it what you will!

​This is something that I've thought about for a long time. A longgg time. Long like the Nile.

Remember how I established earlier my un-artisticness? Yes, well, here is where that would have come into fruition, except that I know awesome people who, unlike me, know how to handle ink. 

I thought I was really original in my book cover idea, until I walked through the young-adult fantasy/sci-fi section at B&N and realized how unoriginal I am. And then I had a moment of despair before sighing and telling myself to get over it.

Thanks to Nathan, Alex, my mom, An, and anyone else who has helped me brainstorm for this. But most especially to Annelise Jordan, for having a superabundance of those artistic skills that God decided I would be better without. 

Here's what you need to know about Annelise:

1. She's really cool.
2. I contacted her out of the blue and asked her to draw something I had designed.
3. The poor, unfortunate soul had to draw a Grifter based off my description and a strange photo of Hugh Laurie as a zombie. 
4. Don't ask.
6. She did an amazing job.
7. Stop reading this and go check out her other stuff.

This looks GREAT. I think the overlaid symbol really adds that undefinable *something*. Mad props to Annelise, your font choice, and the Paper app!

An,

Thank you! It is nice to hear that my creative attempts are not entirely useless, though I do owe the majority of my attempts to Annelise, my computer, and, yes, your iPad.
