Revealed most of it in the last post but… here is the full cover art. That’s not to say that it will be the cover. Feels good at the moment but by the time the book is done something else might occur. But for now it works. Once I had settled on a title for the book I looked around for a font. There are a ton of great Sci-Fi fonts out there and many of them would have worked well, but I wanted something else added that didn’t quite fit with the ones I found. So I set about designing the logo fonts myself. Not a full alphabet but just enough for the title logo. Then it was a question of layering up some imagery in Photoshop that would be an accurate expression of what I had in my head. Key thing here is to show something that reflects many of the aspects of the narrative but without giving too much away. There is a whole load of imagery in there that will make sense when you finally get to read the story, but for now… it just kinda looks nice 🙂 Having a cover is a good way to start to get people interested in the book even though there is no art yet. What it also does is help me pull the concept into focus. I have it all in my head but with this cover it begins to feel real. The main character and the mood of the book is staring back at me now, demanding progress 😮
Next task? turnarounds of the main characters. I did that with HORIZON and it helped a lot.
