Okay, so…I know that this isn’t “ClientsFromHell-the bookmaker version” but I gotta share this one.
We had a client with a non-fiction business book. The cover designer, a good one (you know him/her, sports fans, from CCritics.com) designed a mockup using silhouettes almost exactly like these. We send it off to get feedback on the overall look/theme, etc.
The client’s question comes back:
Ya can’t make this stuff up.
Once again, I’m pretty sure I could afford a better cover if I was a best selling author. In fact, I paid nothing for better covers than this.
As the expression goes, money can’t buy good taste.
But it apparently buys the false belief they are good writers.
