Now THIS is what I call a minimalist cover.
Perhaps we’re seeing the birth of a new cover meme here.
The “I can draw rectangles and ovals meme”? Looks to me like someone got hold of InDesign and practiced drawing stuff and changing fills–look, I did a gradient!–and neglected to make actual art yet was unable to recognize the shortcomings. Cripes.
The prose inside seems stronger than the cover would suggest…
Too bad no one will care enough to find out.
Personally, I’d say the prose is entirely as strong as the cover implies. But that’s just me.
“That’s just too easy.”
Except that when I click it, it doesn’t say anything.
Boring…
The title and author’s name are not centered with the oval. It’s driving me crazy.
