Magic in the Storm by Meredith Bond
What's the genre? What is it you like or don't like about this cover?
Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want
to BUY the book? Discuss.
I like the model, and I like the trees in the background. but he is too small and jammed down below the band of the title. The huge title with the author name on top makes it look top heavy.
I actually think this cover is close and could be very striking. It needs some element rearrangement (I'd make him much larger, push him right, make the title smaller, move author name down and get rid of the extra band and blur effect, thus letting the artwork take center stage).
I'm guessing with the title, some sort of paranormal. I think the authors name should be on the bottom b/c the guy does look a little squashed. But I love the colors.
Paranormal maybe?

ReplyDeleteI also have to go with Paranormal. Naked man in the woods makes me think werewolf.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a good start but the image should be given more than 50% of the cover. It will grab people's attention more.
