Book cover composition

In March, in connection with Artithmeric, Powers Squared will be doing a Kickstarter with a new version of a graphic novel. To honor that, we asked our artist to come up with a new cover. That starts with thumbnails. This week, the second batch. Learn more about this process on our podcast OAPS #129 - Kickstarter Cover Discussion (see link below)

The cover for an issue is important, as you want it to really grab the attention of potential readers. But new covers don't just happen. This week we're show casing the possible covers for issue 16.

Later this month, in connection with Artithmeric, Powers Squared will be doing a Kickstarter with a new version of our graphic novel. This week, the third batch of possible covers. Watch us talk with the artist and colorist more about this process on our podcast OAPS #129 - Kickstarter Cover Discussion (see link below).

The cover is important becuase it's supposed to make the reader want to read the book. Here are the four thumbnails our artist Rachel Wells came up with from which the final cover was chosen. But which one?

Those who are bitten by the poetry bug cannot help but compose. Lines snag their sweaters when they are shopping for cereal; words rattle their chains in their sleeping brains. Others remember their poetic origins when they suffer a loss or celebrate a joy; they write an occasional poem marking the event for a funeral or wedding. You may be someone who has never written before and wonder if you can. Or you once wrote and abandoned the habit, or it abandoned you, and you wonder if you can…

The cover is always important. Here are the four choices our artist, Rachel Wells provided. Which one dfid we choose? Find out next week. More to come from Issue #17, which drops in June.

With the front cover set, we wanted to do a new back cover as well. Our artist, Rachel Wells, took on the challenge and we start with the first set of thumbnails she provided. Did we choose one of these?
