30 Covers, 30 Days 2011: Day 14 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/30-covers-30-days/threads/35978 Tim Kim Happy Monday! I hope you had incredibly productive weekends--Paige, our intern of the highest caliber, had an 11K day! Today's cover, set to inspire and amaze, comes from Jesse Marinoff Reyes: <img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lunxn27Lj71r0x68m.jpg"><strong> Society: Female</strong> by <a href="http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/user/423118" rel="nofollow">Megatron14</a> After the third world war (also known as WWW, the Women's World War), society is run by females. All surviving men are imprisoned in different facilities, or work as slaves in factories. The most troublesome men are sent to a place called The Institute, where unspeakable things are done to them, after which the men are never seen again. But Cassandra Grayson has secretly been in contact with her father for years, and she's not happy with the ways things seem for him. When all messages from her father cease suddenly and she comes across a boy who proposes an interesting proposition, Cassandra must make a hard choice; perhaps one that could mean life or death for many people, including herself. Can she overcome a world where the best and worst sides of women, the sweet and the ruthless reign, or will she settle into complacency? <strong>Jesse Marinoff Reyes</strong> is a freelance designer. The former art director of <em>The Rocket</em> (Seattle), <em>Guitar World</em> magazine and <em>The Village Voice</em>, he was an associate art director in the Penguin Books adult trade division for 12 years. He is the author of <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Next-New-Generation-Graphic-Design/dp/0891349995" rel="nofollow">Next: The New Generation in Graphic Design</a></em> (North Light, 2000). He lives in the hamlet of Maplewood, NJ, with his wife Amy and little daughter, Melina. <em>Mondays are now 30C30D's Young Writers Program days!

Feminism is the belief that both sexes should be treated equally in all cases...this synopsis points to a future dystopia unusually run by women. Not exactly equality of the sexes, is it? Or do you believe all feminists are men haters?

It fits the story synopses, though, so its probably right on. The design inserts look like cheap clip art, so that seems substandard. Overall, probably a good design for the content, but not a lot of personal input into the effort.
