Yes I think this is a very handsome book cover and as for me I would like to read the series. Where do I find this book you have written and illustrated?

    Terri Fors,
    you can order the books from Amazon or createspace:
    #1 "K-Bridge: A Story About Discovery" and #2 "The Rescue: The Irrefutable Saga of K-Bridge Flock".
    If you go Amazon, there are reader reviews there on the first book.
    your support would really be appreciated.

    Thank you, for your time and your review of my artwork, it is appreciated by me.
    Cheers,

Comment from AndreThreeThou


The pictures of photos of birds in the back have a great design layout, making them slightly irregular to add shape. I also like how the entire cover has a tree bark background. However, I had to give it four and a half stars because it seems like the font and the background clash with each other. Both have a lot of contrast going on, and with all this noise it's hard to grasp all those letters. Also, since they're in the same color family, this even further accentuates the need to lower the contrast in the background to bring out the letters of the title. Otherwise everything else looks great, the graphics and sketches' layout is awesome. I would definitely try to get the title to stand out more, by toning down the contrast of the bark and giving the font more shadow.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Impressive layout.
Nice color scheme in contrast with the bright bird frames.
On second thought, I would prefer a more vibrant tone if it should lend a hopeful note to "The RESCUE" title...
The informal arrangement is playful.
Creative concept.
Innovative approach.
Imaginative presentation.
I find the two logos quite "invasive" near your name...
Can we place them higher than the colored one or they can switch places according to which is more stellar in the "billing"?
Thanks for sharing...

    you are welcome, and thank you, for your time and your review of my artwork, it is appreciated by me.
    The patches are a comment on gaming ranches as are several sections of the book. The book and what it is trying to say in graphic design, the artwork was more important to me then my name, does that make sense?
    Have a great day,
    cheers!!

Comment from mamamary


I like the shadow of the bird on the front cover and the brown hues that remind me of trees. For me, I don't like the round disks or badges on the front. I don't care for the pictures of the birds on the back. It looks too busy. Maybe too many birds on the back. The whiteness takes away from the beautiful browns as well. I feel like I'm picking it apart, but you asked. I feel less is more.

    Yes in some cases less is more, in this case I wanted to show some of the characters, it has to do with the cost difference between adding color to the inside. Keep in mind on the shelf you would not see it as presented here each the page front and back would be seen independently.
    Pleased you like the basic color scheme.
    Cheers!!

    I'm glad you didn't take offense at my review. You are the expert, for sure. Not me. Just an opinion. May you have a blessed day.

I don't know that much about this but to me it really sends a message about birds. I think that it deserves a thumbs up. JackJr.

    In this case you do not need to know much about art, just if the design art work on the front and back covers makes you look and makes you want to read the book.
    Cheers!!
