30 Covers, 30 Days 2011: Day 28

It's YWP Monday! We promised you another cover from the deeply talented Roberto de Vicq, and we are here to deliver. The second of the covers done in 24 hours by Roberto is here:



SS Incubo Films by Susie Miller

The movie studio Incubo Films has a ground breaking documentary in the works: put a bunch of teenagers on a boat for a year, and watch what happens. 

The story follows Felicia and Derren, the most unlikely of friends, bound together by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They will have to work together to figure out just what is really happens below deck, and what Felicia's father has to do with it.

Is there something more going on, or do adults really just want to get to know "the brains of teenagers?"

I feel like the text is hard to read, but other than that, it's lovely, so perfect for the plot.

Wow, a bit hard to read but SO worth it to give the text that liquid, almost ominous feeling. The diver connected to the boat really draws the whole thing together and gives it an anchoring jolt of simplicity, too. Really, really well done.

How do I get my novel nominated for a cover? Is it too late? That would be so amazing!

I like it but it's hard to read.

I could not read it, but I really like how it looks.

It's too hard to read, therefore I would glance over it on a bookshelf.

Mmm, I feel like the only person that COULD read it.
Love the concept, very 'bubbly'. :D

Yup. Way too hard to read. There's a reason that the Germanic "Blackletter" style, which emphasized the repetitive visual landscape of the "minim," died out in the 1600s, and this cover--for all its watery-evocativeness--hews strongly to that dusty tradition.

Love it. It sounds ah-mazing. And the cover really fits it. :)

I didn't have a problem reading it either :) Love it! Love the cover and the synopsis sounds really interesting too.

It's a very pretty cover, but a different font would make it much easier to read.

The synopsis is interesting, but the story would be too 'young' for me.

Well, it's a thumbs down from me. 1) Unreadability of the cover text. 2) A design and cover that don't seem to be working together to suggest the same story. Sure, there's a boat in both, but the synopsis doesn't make me think of divers and underwater adventures, and the book cover doesn't imply teen angst or friendship.

I can't read it, and would therefore most likely glance and then walk past without reading the back.

I would SO read this!! TOTAL CHAOS, is what happens XDDD

Nice cover!

The s and the n look exactly alike. ^^
I like the design but I agree with the diver looking out of place and the font looking kind of unreadable...:)
