Here's my idea for the cover.


Here's my idea for the cover. I originally had a different idea for the picture, but ended up standing in this spot and thought — jinkies, this looks pretty good! The text is not perfect (there's probably a better font + colour combination), but I think the general idea works. Feedback welcome — sorry it's been so long coming!

    Oh, very close. Can you put the blank photo here? And what does KNU stand for?

    KNU = Kangwon National University

    Dorothy Zemach if my replies seem curt, it’s only because it’s Korean thanksgiving and I’m with the in laws (and therefore doing this somewhat on the sly). :)

    I think the image is great but the writing isn't very clear. Have you considered using a partially transparent frame/box for the title? If that doesn't work for you, you could also crop the picture in half vertically and have the tile on the side that's blank or increase the transparency of the image.

    OK, I had a go in Canva. I'd spell out the university name (point of pride for students, one would hope), and make your title larger and more visible. I'm not sure about th "success" in orange instead of white, but there's a touch of orange in the image, and otherwise it's a bit gray. I don't have your log, but you could add that in the lower right as you have it, and just adjust the other text.

    Dorothy Zemach Thanks for this ~ It looks much better than my feeble effort. KNU is generally how students refer to the university, but I see your point. :)

    Michael Free And it’s still there in the attribution and the logo.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone, Almost everything has been finalised in my story. Only the info about the creators (Author and illustrator) is missing and I need to have a professional picture taken of me and my daughter, Evita (the illustrator), but I won't have the pic until mid November :(. Re the font type - I used Arial. Should I change to Times New Roman? I hope you can find a few minutes to write a comment on this almost-final draft of my story. I have a question: as you know Evita has done the illustrations, but the background was a bit greyish. I asked a graphic designer friend of mine to whiten the background for me and to do a few minor tweaks. I would like to ask her in the future to help me with the next books in the series, too. I like giving credit where the credit is due - where could I mention Stella's name? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i1oWSFC_8YNVQq0o9OyIj0wYQMGjDlh1

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill.

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill. So ... where is everybody? I know I extended the deadlines out to the end of October for people on the accomplishment track and the end of November for those working towards the distinction certificate... let's see some finished projects! :) Could the distinction people email me theirs separately? Either a .mobi or an .epub is fine. zemach@comcast.net is probably best. For the others, why not post here, and we can all give some congratulations and feedback? (Distinction people welcome to post theirs here as well, of course!)

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing.

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing. I'd love to know your opinion about: *the whole thing, of course! *the two covers- do you like them? Which one most? *the font- is it clear? big enough? *the last page- is it clear that lights are off? *the line in the middle of some pages to separate different situations- any other idea? *the dialogues- is it clear enough who is talking? If Fluffy or his Mum? *any language mistake? Eager to read you all, especially Dorothy Zemach!!! https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton
