Dear readers,
Having considered your comments from the previous posts – Cover design and Cover design – an amalgamation experiment – I have now come up with this new front cover design for A Walk to the Water.
The aim was to comprise elements from the three previous works (see below for reference): Colour, companionship, walking, adventure, nature and art. Your advice on the matter has been invaluable, and, should you have a few spare minutes, I would love to hear your thoughts on this new design.
The previous design ideas:
Thank you, again.
You’ve done a great job combining three different cover designs into one. I really like the color you’ve added into the new design! I would reduce the spacing between the two lines of the subtitle just a bit, and remove the grey outline from the title. This cover is my favorite so far.

I really like the third cover with the green hills. And just a thought for the title – Walking to the Sea – Six Million Steps to the Mediterranean. Cheers.

You’re really working hard on this. I love this one too. And compared to the other painted image, I think this looks less like a children’s book…

Daniel, so far I will have to be the odd one out :), as I prefer the previous design without colour! To me, it’s more intriguing, but having said that, I still like the new one! 🙂 Leah

I’ve just spent an enjoyable few minutes catching up with your book cover debate! I think this is the best so far… While I liked the previous image, I thought it looked a little melancholy – like you got lost in the forest. In this one, you can see “journey’s end” off on the distance, and that gives it a much more upbeat feel!

Thank you, Helen, I am glad you enjoyed the debate! The publishing design team are currently working on the cover. We’ll have to wait and see what they come up with. Loved your latest Beasties Portsmouth post 🙂
