Covers Created, Week 2: July 2-9, 2016

This week was, again, filled with covers for the publishing side of things, but did play with the contrast feature of Gimp, so I might blog about that later in the week. For the moment, I'll just show the covers I've worked on in the last week:



















 And because Seppelitus was 13,500 or so words long, it was given a print-on-demand version, which meant covers were needed for the CreateSpace cover creator. Seppelitus is available in both large-print (which comes in trade paperback size) and mass-market versions so the cover sizes are quite different. Also, because the cover creator won't accept covers which protrude over a certain margin, the black border has to be added and observed, which makes the positioning of the title and by-line important. 



















Like, Melerom Leads the Dance, The Taletellers' Slumber is only available in ebook, so only one cover version was required.


And I discovered that the title and byline on Rendezvous at the Raptor's Rest was in need of tweaking, so I worked through those changes while I was at it.


















All in all, a busy week for covers.
