Mermay Concept Thumbnails - Critiques Wanted
-
Couldn’t help but tweak and doodle around with last nights work before moving on to a fresh one today.
-
New thumbnails for comparison.
Only the middle is drastically different; cred to @Laurasketches for the idea. I think it fits the book concept more and will be the one I take to comp though the other design may make it into the overall cover design - on the back perhaps?
-
@Amber-Lynn-Benton you could always do #1 as a back cover and # 2 as the front cover.
-
@chrisaakins I would agree. I think #2 is the strongest visually and story telling wise (it draws me in the most). It is telling me the story of 2 mermaids trying to write their version of the story.
#1 looks to me like it should be small on the back cover with a bunch of text. I think I would make it even more round, giving it an even stronger ying/yang feeling.

@Amber-Lynn-Benton Thanks, that's extremely generous to be compared to the likes of David Weisner.
I think your thumbnails are looking so good—can't wait to see more progress on it!
