      @Jeremy-Ross thanks, Jeremy. Your comments were very helpful! I think I need to share my project sooner... I didn’t have much time to apply all the awesome feedback you guys gave me.

            My entry is intended as a fresh, modern cover to attract new middle grade readers to the story. The flying monkeys play a larger part in the book than the movie - whoever wears the golden cap can demand 3 wishes from them.

              @Chris-Perry-0 - Hi there, yes just post your finished piece on this thread. The file size is usually meant to be less than 500k I think, but I’m not too tech savvy, @Chip-Valecek was extremely helpful when I asked him a few questions about reducing files sizes etc so maybe contact him or other SVS staff if you need more support.

                      @lucillustrations - The black and white on this image looks fantastic with the red highlights. A really eye catching and original book cover!

                        @Marta-Kitka The concept of this is so fresh! Merging the witch's hat with a tornado... genius! And your use of color to separate elements is perfect. Love the hand pose, too.

                                @carriecopadraws Great job picking a lesser known scene from the book that is still really eye-catching! I love the use of purple and the subtle tornado and city in the background.

                                      Well this is my first ever submission. So many beautiful book covers on this forum. I had some trouble trying to digitise my work but here it is.

                                        @carriecopadraws This is so gorgeous, looks almost like a poster for an animated film. I would definitely pick it up off the shelf

                                          Phew, glad that's finished! Anyone else planning to do the spine and back cover? I wanted to do it for today but it took far longer than expected (as usual). Good luck everyone.
