                    Print-On-Demand (POD)
                    Authors: Katherine Zwers,

                    The original book was published when digital page layout and Photoshop were in their infancy.  Rights had reverted to the author, who wanted to revise the text and re-design the book to publish as a POD softcover.
                    I will also be re-designing the companion book, Sebastian and Hopscotch's Golden Easter Egg.
                    Re-designed spreads  Typographic elements were used to add a playful look to the pages and additional illustrations were created from existing artwork with Photoshop. Click to go to Sebastian and Hopscotch's site.

                    Synapse final cover
                    eBook cover, YA science fiction

                    Alternate cover designs, below
                    We considered depicting three faces, since the novel is told in three voices, or to show the main protagonist, Jake, with his brain-damaged twin brother. While either of these would have sufficed, we felt that the single skeptical, vulnerable (and reworked) face of Jake would be the most compelling. It would also show up best when viewed as a thumbnail image online.

                    Once the cover illustration was done, the final choices were the positioning of Jake's face, the appearance of the headline/byline, and whether or not to include the implants
                    Jake undergoes in an attempt to rescue his twin.

                    I designed the cover first for an eBook, since we decided that if it's compelling and readable as a small image online, it will show up across the room as a print book. Luckily, I did the cover file in high resolution at the size of a regular book cover, because we are preparing the book for POD publishing right now.
