Today I’m excited to reveal our new cover for BLUE WATER.  Our old one was designed in roughly five minutes to replace the generic cover Inkshares gives you when you start your book page.  And since everything with the first campaign was done in haste, designing a cover never really occurred to me.  The first campaign fizzled out, and the old cover just sat there.

Then we started the new campaign, and there it was still.  Boring, not eye catching, not even sized properly.  Nothing but the title giving a hint about the tone of the book, some blurry design behind it, just letting the potential reader glance past it without noticing.  And being that Inkshares is a game of getting noticed, it was doing me no favors.  And by doing me no favors, it was doing you no favors, because if it doesn’t get seen it doesn’t published, and you don’t get to read it.

So, with that in mind, I set out to design something that would jump off the screen and grab attention.  Hopefully, I’ve done that.  

Whaddaya think?
