An "Adam Huckeby" cover

My so-talented-I'm-jealous-of-him friend Adam Huckeby produced his idea of a back cover for Floozy.



What do you think?

Hire him! Collaborate with him. The two of you together are awesome.

I like it! I think I'd make the small print a tad bigger, but maybe it's just hard to read on my screen. From where I'm sitting it looks like about 8 pt font. Almost got noseprints on the laptop trying to read it.

EJ, it's a 10pt Calibri font. Depending on your settings, it may look smaller on screen than it would in print.

Regretfully, this will not be the back cover although I hope to incorporate elements of it in what ends up being the back cover. Apparently there is a limit on the number of embedded fonts that the Lulu.com PDF converter will accept. It made an unholy mess of both the front and back cover and table of contents. In live chat, a Lulu Tech was able to help me fix the front cover and the table of contents, but the back cover couldn't be made to behave. I ran out of time last night, but will attempt again to upload it and work it on this weekend. The tech believed it was the number of embedded fonts that "Floozy" uses in both the covers and the book itself. I use four in the book, and five on the front cover. The back uses at least five and maybe six. I'm wondering if the problem arises from the different versions of Adobe used to create the covers. I use Elements, but I think Adam uses the full version. Anyway, I appreciate Adam's input and help no matter what results.
