New Look

Hate to say it, appearances are everything when it comes to certain things. Marketing, websites, blogs, the list goes on and on. When you go up for a job interview, most of us pick out things we wouldn’t wear on a day-to-day bases.
The past few weeks I’ve had cover art on my brain. What will the cover of Wicked Soul Ascension look like? Should it be hand drawn or digital…hm. So I popped on to my blog and looked at the cover, blah. I really didn’t like the colours, they clashed. The wording and name is a mouthful, though it flows nice. Colour, it was the colour that struck me the most. I needed something that represented me, something that I saw one day. The picture of two paths I took worked with the title. Perfect. The black and gray is easy on the eyes. I’ve come across blogs, websites, and adds that have white writing on a black background, three words in my eyes water.
Easy on the eyes.
We all want to see what you have written, but if we can’t get past the colours and layout. I’m still learning and experimenting with the countless possibilities I can use. I am always learning.

Key points:

• Simple too extravagant and over the top causes the eyes to roam all over the place and miss the key portions that you want the reader to see.

• Balance use other gadgets and images along with your text. Insert a picture where it is needed to have a break from text.

• Reader interest If the article written is about healthy eating, don’t tag it as music. Tags are useful tools to help potential readers find articles they are interested in and help the blog, website, and so on, find people that are into what has been created.

• Colour important to have it match. My mom used to call me colour blind, i’d dress myself in the tackiest of clothing to the point she wouldn’t want to leave the house with me. My sister too. I have the inability to match colour. Thank the heavens for my husband the painter, my colour saviour.

Now back to my cover. Hand drawn or digital? Hm. Ooo, maybe both.

Cheers.
