So, this is kind of a new one for us. \u00a0We haven’t really ever done one of these before, so there was a lot of learning to be done.<\/p>\n
Since the first trilogy in the Tellest grand series is out, I knew that I wanted to put together a bundle for readers – something that they could get for a bargain that let them get their hands on all the stories at one time.<\/p>\n
To get to that point, we needed to wait for the covers for the individual novels to be completed. \u00a0Leo worked tirelessly on The Bindings of Fate, As Darkness Falls and The Enemy Within, and we landed with three spectacular pieces of art.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After that, I went to Paul, who is just so adept at putting together components into a nice package, and wrapping it with a nice bow. We decided to make a nice 3D Box image that we would see the spines of the books within.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our first mockup is very rudimentary. \u00a0It had the basic package design in place, complete with the Tellest logo and tagline up at the top. \u00a0That’s great for a website, but the motto doesn’t really hold to this particular boxed set. \u00a0We also had the books out of order, and the spines are a little boring by themselves.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another small adjustment that we tried was adding a sword to the front cover. \u00a0It fills the space, and it’s simple enough that it doesn’t hurt the spine artwork.<\/p>\n
