70s Fonts
We
recently had the opportunity to create a book cover (and related web site design) for a traditional gothic fiction novel entitled Glinhaven. While the
book is not scheduled for release until summertime, we’d like to share some of the
bold and attractive fonts we picked over that were common during the 1970s.

Book Covers
Our
latest e-book cover design:
Basque Flavors was a re-do of the original cover. We like the new one better,
naturally!
The
new book cover for Basque Flavors was designed around the "Bayonne:
Arrivee des Marchandes de Sardines" woodblock print painted by Edouard
Pingret (1788-1875). The original is currently on display at the Fonds Ancely,
City Library of Toulouse (Bibliotheque
Municipale de Toulouse). A photograph
of the print was edited by Webs Divine to create the book cover template. The
original artwork is in the public domain as it was published before January 1,
1923 and because the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or
less. The work has been identified as being free of known restrictions under
copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

Poetry book cover design
Aside from web design,
Webs Divine has also
developed a book cover portfolio. All of our cover designs are
created primarily for e-books, which are used on a variety of platforms
including
Amazon (Kindle),
Barnes & Noble (Nook) and
Kobo Books (multiple formats).
This is our latest design:
Torn Bits & Pieces features abstract poetry by fiction author Deborah O'Toole.
As with most of our book cover designs, we begin with a blank slate and add various bits of text, images and special border outlines. When working with clients, we do our best to create their visions to exact proportions with colors and specific graphics.
DID YOU KNOW? Most online book outlets, in particular Amazon and Barnes & Noble, require large-sized images for unload and display (850 pixels width by 1133 pixels length). However, for general marketing purposes, 510 by 680 pixels is usually acceptable.

Book cover for Bloodfrost
One of our newest book cover designs includes
Bloodfrost by Deidre Dalton, which is the first volume in the
Bloodline Trilogy.
When developing a design for a book cover, we take into account the general storyline of the novel and the characters within. Author suggestions are always welcome. On occasion, we will use the author's personal artwork if it has a professional appearance and keeps with our workability requirements.
Like it or not, a book cover is a potential reader's first introduction to an author's work and can quite often make or break a sale.
According to the author's web site, Bloodfrost is described as follows:
For the cover, we used a large-sized rendition of a stock photo by Anton Belovodchenko (SXC). After several layers and color blending, we arrived at the final product. It is now on display at the author's web site, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo Books and Smashwords.

According to the author's web site, Bloodfrost is described as follows:
Old before her time and afflicted with a myriad of medical problems, Noel Gatsby retreats into her "wishful-thinking" dreams every night. Desperate to escape the circumstances of her life, she imagines a world where all of her pain and suffering stops, to be replaced by the vigorous health of her youth. Yet each morning she awakens to the misery of her real existence, consumed by pain and depression.
Then one night her dreams come true.
Noel is transported to another world, where healing hands work their magic on her tired body. She awakens without pain, filled with an exuberance and joy she never thought to experience again.
She soon learns her miraculous recovery comes at a price...You be the judge. Does the cover fit the storyline? Keep in mind, the fictional "healing process" involves blood. Without giving too much away, Bloodfrost contains paranormal elements.
