Not ever going through this phase of book publishing is probably why I had no clue as to how much work actually goes into just the cover itself. After three photo shoots and numerous email attachments, I hope we have finally got something we, (the publisher and I), can work with. If its not the low resolution that's the problem, its something else. I thought digital cameras were fine...not, as I explained in a different post. Once that minor issue was resolved, then it's onto modifying the picture to make it more attractive by adding color, adding border shading and bluring, etc. I guess that's why publishers have a team to do just that one particular thing, cover designs. They can keep their job, I'll just keep writing the stuff that happens inside those covers.
Until next time,
Robert Detroit
