I didn't forget - a book update.
I didn't forget about my plan to do a book cover a week. Unfortunately for anyone looking forward to it, last week I was swamped with freelance work (and my day job was busy), and this week has just been busy at work.
The current list of covers to do:
- Cryptonomicon (Neal Stephenson)
- Stardust (Neil Gaiman)
- Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert A. Heinlein)
And, because I need to, the rules I'm setting for myself:
- 1 cover per week
- 2 hours per cover, preferrably in one night
- No sketching on the train - though making word association lists are ok
- Upload wherever it's at at the end of 2 hours
- If I really hate a book, no cover.
- If I really like a cover concept and think it deserves more time, then I will skip a week to create a 'nicer' version.
- Maintain a backlog of good books, in case I get a string of bad ones.
- If must work as a book cover - the title and author must be clearly visible (Cryptonomicon inspired this rule).
