These are rought drafts of my book covers. Part of the story (without giving too much away) is that the characters are different than everyone else. The first half of the book is the main characters recolection of her childhood, and how she slowly became aware of her difference, her place in the world outside her boarding school, and how "normals" will percieve her for the rest of her life.
I'm going to try to work on some handmade type before the next class. I think handwritten type is really personal and beautiful. That style will reflect what is happeneing in the story.
"comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.
Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric"

These are lovely, I love the image. I am attracted tp the bottom 2 much more than the top 3. I think explore the black and white more than trying to introduce color. Or if color, very sparse color. The b&w is haunting.
