30 Covers, 30 Days 2011: Day 23 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/30-covers-30-days/threads/42078 Tim Kim Keep those word counts humming through this homestretch! Today's inspirational cover was created in 24 hours by the one-woman powerhouse, Ingrid Paulson: <img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv4ki4nH701r0x68m.jpg"><strong> Nevermore.</strong> by <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/participants/articzombie" rel="nofollow">articzombie</a> When wizard Charlie created the Nevermore Agency back in his ninth grade year, he expected the worst. De-ghosting every day, killer spiders from Mars, the usual the police cared too little to mess with. But now in college, he really does miss those days he used to worry over. Because the weirdest things in his life now are his girlfriend, a nearly blind selkie hipster, and her fabulous vampire boss at Dante's Parlor of Theatrics. However, when the witch Priscil Stone arrives in his apartment to ask him to track down a dangerous prankster, it would seem he was asking for a bit too much. <strong><a href="http://www.ingridpaulson.com/" rel="nofollow">Ingrid Paulson</a></strong> runs her own one-woman studio, Ingrid Paulson Design, and has been designing books (in pretty much every category) longer than she'd like to admit. Prior to freelance, she was Art Director of Raincoast Books in Vancouver, and designer at McClelland &amp; Stewart. She lives in Toronto.

Also, I just love how the slightly odd angles of the intersecting white lines and typography on the cover create a sort of optical illusion ... The direction of tilt keeps wanting to change on me! (Or is that just MY eyes??) For book idea + this one is tops!

The cover would draw my attention if it were laid side by side with weaker designs. I am not sure that the triangular design works in this case, though. The title slides downward off the front. It gives a feeling of imbalance and poor planning. Psychologically, a downward pointing line in hand-writing, is a sign of low energy. Not a good idea to put a depressive concept on a book that an author would like to be found exciting, I think.
