Well, we certainly got feedback for our cover challenge! Sixteen covers to create, actually. Thanks to all you imaginative minds, I was hard-put to match your creativity. So, to demonstrate her own graphic design abilities, I invited Jesseca, our formatter, to join in on the challenge!
After looking over the lot of covers, I decided to organize them alphabetically and then split them up into two different posts. Part two will be posted next week.
All for You
Our first cover was created by Jesseca! She put a sweet interpretation on the title that I never would've thought of. It makes me want to step right into the picture and hug the people.
Almost Home
Next is a title that I wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but I began looking for pictures, and once I found this photo I knew I wouldn't have to look any further.
The Boy no one Loved
When I created The Boy no one Loved, I couldn't pass up this picture. The sweet, yet sad, innocence of the little boy drew me in, and I adore this one.
A Candle in the Darkness
Somehow, even thought there's no hint of it in the cover, this reminds me of Christmas. Maybe it's the memories of candlelight services at church. I must admit that this wasn't what was in my mind when I saw the title, but I think it's just as good—or better.
The Day the Soldiers Cried
This one low-key breaks my heart. We can never thank the defenders of our country enough. Because it's not only them, but those that love them as well, that make the sacrifice.
Follow Me
I was having a difficult time creating an idea in my head... but then it hit me—Jesus! Many of His friends and disciples were fishermen. He called them to follow Him, so that He might make them fishers of men.
Grab Your Umbrella
My favorite part of this cover is the fonts. It adds a playful, almost childish, touch to the entire feel of the picture that matches the title.
I'm Part of the In-Crowd
Last but not least is a cover with a picture so epic that I hardly had to 'doctor' it at all. A tiny bit of barely-perceptible texture goes a long way! I also enjoyed experimenting with different fonts.
Did you enjoy seeing the results of the challenge as I enjoyed rising to the challenge? Did I meet your tastes? Which is your favorite?
Oh, wow! You both did an amazing job! The day the Soldiers Cried, ahh, exactly what I had in mind. Are you sure there's no way I can buy it from you? ;) Seriously, l love that cover!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked it! If you want to buy it, shoot us an email and we'll see if we can't work something out. ;)

ReplyDeleteThese covers are awesome! Nice job! My favorite was definitely The Day the Soldiers Cried, but they were all great! All For You was sweet, too!
