I have covered
book covers before ( Link to previous BLOQ)
- but this year I have actually created quite a few book covers myself
...
Like the
photographic poetry books; CAPITAL Q (poems about Wellington),POETREE (my poetry
book about trees) and the FREE photo book (on ISSUU) about the 2019 A&P Show in Hawera.
Then - of course
- (blowing my own trumpet)... there was the design for my own cover. It went
through a few stages, but in the end I have chosen a collage of two photos I
took. One of a tree (from our garden btw) and one of a road marking. It's
symbolic of the duality between trees and roads... for me it's like the road to
heaven, the 'road' to the Grand Old Dame, that Mickey D thought of as her own
Cul-de-Sac...
It also represents the location where the 'Bowie Babies' had their first
driving lesson and their first kill (oops, spoiler), shaping them into who they
became.
Here is a peek at
some of the earlier ideas for the book cover of
'CUL-DE-SHOCK'
