Book Cover
Dear Unbounders,
We are preparing the book cover for The Private Life of the Diary. Here it is. What do you think? There will be a subtitle too. That is in process. The subtilte and my name may be delivered by my handwriting or someone's handwriting. Mine looks like a bunch of spilled Licorice Allsorts.
I think the typography is very Bloomsbury and 1930s. I asked my friend who is a writer and collects books and she said, 'Oh yes. You'd want that'. I hope so!
Warmest wishes to you and thank you for all your support.
Sally

Looks great! Can't wait to read it.

Sorry but it doesn't do it for me. Looks very amateurish and wouldn't inspire me to buy it.

I think it's beautiful! Reminds me a bit of the work of an artist I like, Nick Relph. Excited to read!

The colours look interesting but the design looks messy. Like the title, but the cover could put me off having a look at the book.

I'm not keen on this either I'm afraid. That design makes me think 1980s not 1930s. Sorry.

I agree - looks great. I like the sense of multiple (type) faces and multiple meanings.... Good stuff, Jo xx
