I really like this series of cover images – they stand out from the field – and this tutorial is just awesome sauce on top. This is a case where I’m going to buy the books just for the covers. I hope they’re good!
I can report that it was a case of WANTING to do a really good design because the books were so good….just a great, fast-paced adventure with some great science and near-future thinking. and a great snarky antihero.
Yeah, great covers, Lauren. As always.
Also, I really love the graffiti marketing. So cool.
Can’t wait to start reading the Morden books. Exactly my thing.
I have the first two books. I can tell you the following: as good as the covers are, the books are BETTER.
