As someone who gets the chance to work with illustrators regularly I appreciate your willingness to share your ideas - the ones that stick, the ones you loved but didn't get chosen, and the final selection. Thank you for taking us behind the scenes on the book cover creation experience. I truly loved the journey you took us on!
omg PAIN... Glad you got there in the end!!! I love the cycle of us helping each other with cover drawings hhahaha can't wait for the cover reveal!!!! ;)
That’s so crazy how many options you did… And it’s interesting to see that you had to wait so long for marketing to answear. I get really nervous when a client doesn’t reply in 24h haha :D
But my favourite part is seeing how you handled typography - you have a gift for it :).
Omg you're a trooper! I would've need a box of tissues to accompany me through 18 rounds of revisions!! Absolutely adore where you landed - and the lettering is just spectacular!
Thank you Kaly! Definitely towards the end I was pulling my hair out in frustration; this was the only thing left to do for the book but mentally I had already moving onto my next project haha I was DONE
Wow what a journey! Loved following all these different paths to what ultimately became the final cover. Thank you for sharing all the hard work behind the process here!

I'm happy that you enjoyed it!! Thank you :)
Lovely! I love all of them and that’s why I’m not a book designer or art director 😂…
Thank you!!! Very true hahaha

THANK YOU FOR UR HELP couldn't have done it without u!!
COVER VIDEO I MEAN NOT THE REVEAL obviously the cover has already been revealed
Reminds me of my in-house graphic design job when you have more than one stakeholder involved.
Ultimately, the end product is great, but you have to be patient along the way.
Thanks for sharing this process! Love the cover and I’m glad you were able to use so many of the concepts - so cute!
Thank you!!

I just got this in the mail (thank you!) and I thought what a charming and clear cover! Excited to read it 😊
Thank you Nidhi!
You had so many amazing ideas! I'm really glad the back cover illustration got to stay!
What a journey indeed! 💪 That was a lot of revisions! But the end result is really great, thanks for the BTS peek!
Thank you!!
Love this! It’s so great having art directors to weigh in
Yes! And especially an Art Director who both understands your vision but also pushes you to do better.
... looking up definition of resilience... see this post from beloved Author/Illustrator, Annosha Syed.
I love the final cover, but I do have to admit --> #8 (weird cover) is pretty awesome, too! Great job. Also loving the girl's pose from Jim...
Haha, thanks!!
Yes Jim's drawing was excellent!
