She had a bit to go on as the other books in the set were done. <br /><br />I spend months thinking about cover art for a book. I'm thinking about the concept for one coming out next year while working on Glyn's and Nidhi's books.<br /><br />The concept is one thing, finding the right graphic artist to bring it to life is another thing.<br /><br />Any suggestions on the samples?Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-68051438453625787112010-07-18T19:51:56.339-07:002010-07-18T19:51:56.339-07:00The doctor does get sort of lost...

It certainly shows that there are some talented graphic artist in our midst.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-49523146213142191122010-07-17T05:49:56.665-07:002010-07-17T05:49:56.665-07:00I like the idea of the houses as a background.

I like the ice blue tint of the winter scene. Can the two images be layered? <br />The title and author name look good and in the right places.<br />Well that is my 2 cents. Keep up the good work!Glynis Peters https://www.blogger.com/profile/01175378917872403609noreply@blogger.com
