This is a proposed front cover for The Rescue. It was created by the Very talented Stephanie Bruce, a local artist and current art student in Glasgow.
It was one of around a dozen covers that were produced as part of an art and design project. Stephanie's cover captured the novel in an unusual, but compelling way, with the textures seemingly three dimensional. The decision not to use mirror related imagery was also very different and in contrast to many of the other covers and of the story as a whole.
If your inclined to judge a book by it's cover, then you must surely be looking favourable at The Rescue.
Yeah, it's awesome, compelling & dark. It also looks raised on the page, giving it that 3D look.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it's the publisher who decides on the book cover and back of book blurb.
