I just thought of another subtitle idea. Compared to Dire Recompense, how do you like Sudden Recompense?

@leumeister Wait, it delays your post?

I think it’s set to EST. I don’t know about changing the time zone. Let me tag Josiah. @aratrea

@Aratrea that’s true. I guess that just goes to show how important perspective is.

@leumeister Now that you’ve added more to the spaceship, it seems to me that the characters might look a little squished down there at the bottom. My suggestion would be to move them up to the center side by side and make them in the background with fading. Working on their expressions could add that element of question if you do it right.

@Daeus I love that one. My vote goes for that.

@Daeus I agree. Great points.

@kate-flournoy That’s a good distinction. As far as the practical application between personal and universal themes, I don’t think there’s any significant difference. One thought I have is that it is generally best to use universal and personal themes in combination. For instance cowardice with the meaning of life, responsibility with justice,…[Read more]

Ok, Here’s the same thing only with the name in gold. Any votes between the gold and silver name? @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @rolena-hatfield @sarha-h

Les Miserables. 😀

Theme: justice and mercy.
Focusing question: which one triumphs?
Message: it’s justice that makes mercy necessary.

Hmm… those are slightly different than the format of the others you shared… and now my brain is tickling… I wonder…
Oh yes. This was that idea— I’ve thought about this some already. 😛 It seems to me…[Read more]

@leumeister Yup, they’ve covered it! Version 1.1 is a huge improvement. I’d just add that if you want to use this as an e-book cover, you could probably make the text larger. Covers can be hard to read in a thumbnail Kindle library. Btw I love the textures and lighting; those were always the hardest bits for me when I dabbled in CGI. 🙂

@winter-rose the hardware you can’t really customize, though especially with the newer ones, there’s no real need to. If you’re talking about user interface, I have no idea.

@Daeus… LGK? ‘Little Green Kate’??? *hysterical chuckling* I like that. :”D

@dragon-snapper …You’re right… I’ll start calling her LGK from now on.

Yeah, short books are nice. I’m mainly doing it for marketing reasons though. And, hey! It’s very Tolkienesque.

@leumeister My main thought is to accent the stars more. First of all, it looks like their focal point is on the title. I’m not an expert, but my impression is that a better focal point would be between the spaceship and the title. Also, I would make the light streams from the stars a lot more prominent. It would add motion and also draw eyes…[Read more]

Excellent font choice, by the way. 😉

@Leumeister I love the title, though it might be a little too metallic to show up well against your background, and as far as I can tell with your experimental models, the actual cover looks like it’ll be well laid out. It does seem a bit too dark though, and besides that maybe a little uniform. There’s nothing really eye-catching about the cover…[Read more]

@Daeus I like it. A lot. I would tend to agree that the silver subtitle does look best.

Ok, this is what we’re at now. I personally like it with the silver subtitle better, but I’m thinking it might be good to make the name gold. (There’s now a shadowed effect on the title like you said, @emma-flournoy) Any thoughts?
