Over the past week I've slowly been putting together the design for the dust jacket among everything else and have almost completed it today. Looking at it now, I feel that the entire image might be more effective with something in front of her face, such as her hand or part of Kai's face - then again, it will fold over the cover as a flap which means it might not matter so much. I still have plenty of time to adjust things if I do change my mind however once I've bound my book.
I decided to keep the cover
simple and more graphic compared to a full scene as I want it to stand out from a distance, so I used the Snow Queen's head as a container for the text. I spent a while trying to find a traditional yet slightly contemporary font for the title.
I have painted her
hair so it is a bit less defined than her face to make it seem almost like the snow or wind, as I imagine her to embody the snow or be a part of it.
