It’s a wash.
I got an updated version of the DEMON MOON cover and put it on the sidebar — the primary difference is the silver foil that will go on the lettering — but it also looks like it’ll have more of a lavender tone than the original blue, and the edges smoothed out with the color wash. Also, you can’t tell on this version, but in the large file Colin’s hair is exactly what it’s supposed to be — very messy blond (’cuz he can’t look in the mirror). Reduced, it looks more fuzzy. Also, it looks like the kerning on the O in “demon” was increased, because the M used to be centered right on Savi’s butt, but now it’s a little farther left. Hmmm.
Okay, this probably interests no one but sick ol’ me, but still. Pictures!

Foil is big time, isn’t it? welcome to the big time. Just remember us peons when you are big, metaphorically speaking, of course. |

Nicole — I think the foil lettering is great, but I have to admit I LOVE the blue of the original. I think they’re both great colors, I’m just partial to the blue (especially against her black black hair). So I’m in no way unhappy with the change of color, and think they’re both striking — and it’s also hard to tell from the pictures. I won’t know exactly what the color is until I get a cover flat. DA was slightly different in person, too. Lighter.
Jane — Or foil is the publisher’s desperate way of saying: buy this book!!! Please!!! And I’ll totally remember you peons when I’m metaphorically and/or literally big. *stuffing another chocolate in my mouth* which may be very, very soon. Sooner than the metaphorical big, I’m sure *g* |

I have to say, my first instinct was, I love the blue!!!! But the more I looked at the new one, the more I liked it. I think I like it better now. Marketers love me. |
