It was Red Island that had the red type. Sorry....my bad. But again, reexamine the red handprint, because that could mess up the readability of your back copy. You could possibly make it less opaque.Stacey Vosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963399731294371090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424127459403763134.post-16251104886049841652013-10-12T07:43:29.430-07:002013-10-12T07:43:29.430-07:00Oh, and one last thing about Red Serge - I'd a...Oh, and one last thing about Red Serge - I'd avoid using red text on the back because it can be very hard to read. The other option is to use some kind of outer glow or stroke effect to make it stand out.http://lorneoliver.blogspot.com/logout?d=http://www.blogger.com/logout-redirect.g?blogID%3D5424127459403763134%26postID%3D3381586114677931834Stacey Vosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963399731294371090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424127459403763134.post-43548241225374710312013-10-12T07:41:07.064-07:002013-10-12T07:41:07.064-07:00It's a series.

They don't resemble each other enough to confuse, although the shoreline pics in the background do seem similar. The text treatments differentiate them. It should easily read well in both eBook and print, although the wrapping hand print might become confusing in the eBook version where you won't see the back. That's the only part I might reconsider. Really nice cover. <br /><br />Cistern I'm sure will go through more incarnations before you're done. The spine text might be hard to read and will really depend on your final page count. The back cover will definitely need some work. I'd consider going with a cutout of the house name and using a background that worked more naturally with the black, since the bleed could cause the edging of black on your spine to wrap a bit to the back.<br /><br />Good job on both though!Stacey Vosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963399731294371090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424127459403763134.post-74452439245739958492013-10-12T06:01:18.674-07:002013-10-12T06:01:18.674-07:00I think the reworked cover of Serge is great. Yes,...I think the reworked cover of Serge is great. Yes, it looks a lot like Island, but I think it also ties the two together nicely. You have a common theme! Cistern is great. The back is a little confusing for me, but it may also not matter so much with the overlay of words. Very cool! Thanks for sharing. :)Jill Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716185773860764706noreply@blogger.com
