What a round!
The choices were a little harder, but most of the winning covers won by a fair number of votes. Honestly, most of the match ups went exactly as I expected, except for the final. I thought Nevernight was going to end up in the final round. BUT, I may have thought that because of the weight that the title NEVERNIGHT carries. And as we know, this contest is not about the story within the book, but the cover without.
The two match ups in ROUND 3 are going to be some of the toughest choices yet. I have my thoughts on what the championship round will look like, but I can’t wait to see if it ends up coming true, or if there’s still another surprise or two in store!
Thanks to everyone who has been voting all along. This series of posts would not be possible without you.
Note: Between education and career, I have over 15 years of experience in the field of graphic design. While I don’t pretend to know everything about design, and it will always be extremely subjective, I feel like I can speak about it with a modicum of authority (or at the very least, I don’t sound completely clueless.)
Wow, I just checked back in on this and am very surprised by the choices… Not what I would have expected.
I’m so sad about Nevernight!! It’s one of my fave covers of all time!!
Aw man, I’d hoped fro Jackaby to be in still. My new favourite aligns with yours now 😉
