Oh hell, I forgot about the blog since I buried myself in the projects. My status report today is gonna be simple in order to have more quantity of future posts. Anyways I recently went out and did some first hand research for Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep book cover competition. The best place to learn how to make something is to observe it, so I went straight to Waterstone's book shop and WHSmith to see the books there and observe their designs so that my design can be responsive to these designs and basically fit in context as both a product and an impressionable image. If I create a cover that looks anything like the ones that are currently used for Mercedes Lackey's work then I'll be happy.
I also forgot my memory card so it was just pure luck that my friend was there to take phone-photos and email me them. (To me a phone should be just a phone but now I'm beginning to see the benefits of a good quality camera phone). I really like these Charles Brokaw books with illuminated and glowing text, it suits the theme I'm going for.
