Storming the cover
Thursday, June 14, 2012 at 11:21PM Got thrown off my cover design track by an illustration job. Thought I'd bounce a few different ideas out there, just to see how they looked onscreen.
Still leaning toward one of my previous designs. But for those who like those stormy prairie scenes, they might see something to like here.
To me, already I hate the red type - feeling sort of like Louis Lamour here. I do like the sky and the sense of foreboding, though.
Now my favorite part of this design is the hint of the road, and the house/shack in the distance. This does have a feel I like - enough to bump the other design... hmm... not sure. For one thing the type needs some work, but something is emerging.
Onward.

The top one is not Loius Lamour it is James Lee Burke and I think that's rather a good thing. Second one is nice but literarerearery which might lose you readership with all those people who are leary of litererarareary novels.
I like the contrast with the lite sky in the first one but like the house and road from the second
