The Making of the eBook Cover for "A Night To Remember" by R.C. Matthews

Hats off to all artists making book covers. I had the privilege of working with Angeline Janeiro, a new and upcoming eBook cover designer, on the cover for A Night To Remember. We emailed back and forth a few times about what I had in mind and then she went off for a week to get creative.

Here is the end product:

What's so amazing about this cover is (1) it is a near perfect replica of the first scene in the book and (2) the individual photos used to make this book cover are completely different than what you see above. Never in my wildest dreams would I have selected the photo's that Angeline found and thought to put them together this way. You're not going to believe your eyes. So here they are!

Notice how Angeline took this simple red dress and added a bustle at the lower back to make it appear like a full length ballgown? Also pay attention to the model's hair. In the photo, the woman has a bun, but it is rather small. Angeline made the updo fuller. Of course she also carved the woman out of the picture above.

 It was also super cool the way she flipped this image of the hero so his leg is crossed in the other direction and his whole body is shifted as well.

Finally, see how she took a rather simple, almost cartoonish looking, ballroom setting and made it the background? And the best part? Two of these photos were free and one of them only cost $1. What an amazing talent it requires to look at each of these photos and have the vision that Angeline did.

I hope you'll check out her site!
