Cartoon Modern: Final Cover
Todd wrote tonight, asking:
My memory fails me, didn’t you blog about this a while back? …[I]t would be worth posting an update, the cover is looking great.
Yes, I did — and couldn’t agree more, it is looking great:
There are a great many comments at the introduction page, but let me add a few: I like the font choices, love the subtitle and author treatment on the front, like the little details like the handling of the bar code and publisher logo on the full version, and like the smaller cartoons. Only the cityscape on the back stands out as being “too different” for me, but I’m not an expert on the style (and the author says it fits).
Cover design by Brent McFadden. Nicely done, folks!

Giles - Thanks so much for the followup post. I’m glad to hear that you generally like the cover. It seems like it took us forever to arrive at this cover, but I’m generally pleased with how it turned out. Regarding the back cover, the book is roughly divided between character design and background paintings, and I thought it’d be nice to get a representation of both on the cover, hence the cityscape. That’s the reasoning at least, though it’s up to everybody else to judge whether we did that successfully or not.
