The book cover is now in its completed form, and I have submitted it to Penguin before it’s closing date, which is tomorrow. So there’s no going back now.
In my last post, I did these designs and emailed them to my tutor. Out of all of them, he liked number 7 but I was advised on doing a few changes:
- Make wolf eyes smaller and bring them down so it did not interfere with the typography.
- Alternatively, put the eye’s on back and have rabbit looking at title with ‘An attack etc‘ above the title.
- Put author’s name, Ken Kesey, in capitals.
These were the designs I came out with next:
I emailed my tutor with these designs, and number 3 was picked, with small changes to be made again:
- Eyes slightly smaller.
- Author’s name, Ken Kesey, in a smaller size and fit in the space between feet of 1st and 2nd row rabbits.
And this is what I came out with and have sent to Penguin:
I can’t believe just how long this project has taken me. It’s been way over a month now, I’m sure of it. I’m just thinking now: Finally! It’s over! Yippie!
Anyways, I hope it’s to everyone’s taste. Perhaps there could have been a few more changes, we’ll see what Penguin says. But if I don’t make the cut, it’s no biggie. I’ll be disheartened, but it won’t destroy me : )
There are plenty more chances! ^__^

You know, I think it came out great. When you work on a project for a long extended period, you get so close to it, you lose perspective– you forget how far you’ve come, and how many good, solid revisions you’ve made. You added a lot of value– well done , say I!
Take a bow, then take a nap! : )
Thank you, Mark ^^
It’s quite interesting to see all the steps I took, and funny how the end result went back to the original colour scheme. And it does feel like that. Got quite confusing with the many designs I had :p
A very overwhelming project, but a very good one at that : ) But I’ll definitely take that long awaited nap once everything is over!
