Cover Page Sketch
/Today I made a few sketches for potential cover pages. The challenge to find a way to get all the characters I like onto cover. The page is 16 inches by 8 inches, so there’s lots of room but there are some design problems to consider. For one, the space taken up by the title requires a good deal of real estate. On the back cover, the ISBN number gets its fair share of space. Then there’s the problem of images bumping into the spine. For example, in the picture above, Betty’s head is cut in half by the fold. That looks weird. The more I think about it, the more problems I see with this layout. I’d better keep sketching.
