Royal Dragon September 15, 2016NathanCovers8 Comments Royal Dragon Who wouldn’t want to read a book whose cover gives you an instant migraine? (h/t Catie) Should this cover be in the Lousies? Cargo Cult Template pixelation Previous postThe First Misadventure of Fragger Sparks: A Ranger Leads the Way Next postThe Herbert Trilogy: Pathways: A Quantum Adventure
It takes a specialized kind of talent to blur a template!
From the copyright page:
“Relesed in January 2016.”
Escaped in January 2016. Escaped, WarGoat, not released.
Actually…I’m thinking that maybe that’s a really OLD dragon, and she’s getting the Faye Dunaway Vaseline Filter lens, to help her look less wrinkly. Yeah, that’s it.
I think you mean “escped”, if we’re keeping with the theme.
At first I speculated that, for the kindle cover, they must had blown up the thumbnail ad instead of using the the paperback cover.
But the Look Inside! cover presentation of the paperback edition is sharply pixelated, very low resolution square blocky pixels.
The Look Inside! cover presentation of the kindle edition looks like a blur filter was applied to the paperback cover fuzzing the sharp edges.
Trying to figure out how they done it on Lousy Book Covers can induce headache. I am not even going into why….
At the Royal Dragon pub, all images look blurry and pixelated.
