It's been awhile since my last Cover evolution post after reading this blog you might forgive me. Usually, I give a couple short phrase about how each stage progressed. This post is a little different. Senior Editor <a href="http://www.maggielehrman.com/" target="_blank">Maggie Lehrman</a> and artist <a href="http://vincenatale.com/#commercial/1" target="_blank">Vince Natale </a>will guide us through the cover evolution of <a href="http://abramsbooks.com/Books/Otherbound-9781419709289.html" target="_blank">OTHERBOUND</a> by Corinne Duyvis So let's get started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First things first your need to know a little about the story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Amara is never alone. Not when she’s protecting the cursed
princess she unwillingly serves. Not when they’re fleeing across dunes and
islands and seas to stay alive. Not when she’s punished, ordered around, or
neglected.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She can’t be alone, because a boy from another world
experiences all that alongside her, looking through her eyes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nolan longs for a life uninterrupted. Every time he blinks,
he’s yanked from his Arizona town into Amara’s mind, a world away, which makes
even simple things like hobbies and homework impossible. He’s spent years as a
powerless observer of Amara’s life. Amara has no idea . . . until he learns to
control her, and they communicate for the first time. Amara is terrified. Then,
she’s furious.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All Amara and Nolan want is to be free of each other. But
Nolan’s breakthrough has dangerous consequences. Now, they’ll have to work
together to survive—and discover the truth about their connection.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
So now let's hear from Maggie Lerhman, Senior Editor:<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Otherbound</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
is an incredibly original book, unlike anything I’d read before. It has
interweaving perspectives, male and female POVs, a “normal” Arizona world and a
“fantasy” world of the Dunelands, and characters that cross back and forth
between them. The incredibly original can be tough to conceptualize in a book
cover, since they tend not to have easy comparisons—and Chad and I found to be
true in this case. We wanted to get across the idea of seeing the world through
someone else’s eyes, and the general concept that there would be two worlds.
But pretty much the rest of the cover was up in the air.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The first few comps that Chad and our designer Sara
Corbett came up with tried a photographic/typographic approach. We liked the
idea of having one eye open/one eye closed, but these felt a little slick, and
they didn’t get across the strangeness and the seriousness of the central
concept.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">but we’d spent a lot of time on what we’d done already, and our
Advance Reader Copies were due to the printer. This was a crucial deadline so
that booksellers and reviewers could start reading and talking about Corinne’s
amazing book in advance of publication. We hate to have to print an ARC with a
non-final cover, but sometimes it happens, and in this case, it was
unavoidable. But Chad and Sara made an effort to find a typeface that read more
“fantasy.”</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Some of these felt “fantasy,” but a much more
medieval-style fantasy that what Corinne had written. The Dunelands are a
gritty, rough-edged world. There’s magic, but it’s an earthy, painful strain of
magic, not a gowns-and-potions magic. The gothic feel of that type didn’t fit
in with how I had pictured that world. Plus it didn’t hint at Nolan’s
real-world environment at all—which is half of the book. We eventually went
with this blocky interconnected type, which felt to me as if it had been carved
out of stone.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We liked that type for the ARC, but for the final
cover, we wanted a more evocative image to go with it. Chad put together this
sketch. The idea is from the book: it’s the magical tattoo that servants wear
in the Dunelands, with some actual dunegrass below. Something about this didn’t
feel right, though. Perhaps it was too mechanical-looking. After all, this is a
book that’s very concerned with its protagonists’ bodies—who’s in control,
who’s in pain, who gets a say.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And now I’ll let Vince take over to discuss some of
his process!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">These sketches are my effort to work out details of how to handle the imagery at the bottom of the cover art to include in my tight sketch. I needed to show the separate and differing environments each of the protagonists of the book inhabited - one a typical suburban southwestern U.S. neighborhood, and the other a mysterious, magic filled seaside world.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I needed somehow to meld the two together visually, but keep them separate at the same time. I decided that the best way to do this was to draw them on the same plane at similar sizes and commingle some physical elements, and then make the point of them being separate worlds through the use of color.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the top sketch I felt that there was too much detail in the 'neighborhood' scene, and that the size of the house was too "in your face", and the composition not fluid enough.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the bottom sketch I felt that I got more of a 'feel' for the environment neighborhood scene -more houses and more obvious mountains in the background and not so much explicit detail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The castle, though, I found had gotten a bit fidgety and detailed, and the silhouette didn't really scream 'castle' - it looks like ti could be some kind of medieval village. (which might have worked but that wasn't the plan.)</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I combined the castle from the top sketch with the neighborhood from the bottom and that seemed to hit the mark.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the completed tight sketch these elements were refined and modified slightly; In the final painting, even a little more -but those were really just details, such as grasses in the foreground to balance out the composition.</span><br />

<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the underpainting - the first step in the painting process of the final artwork. It's a thin layer of paint applied on top of a very detailed line drawing on canvas or primed board.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This helps to loosely establish the basic color and value patterns as a guide for the top layer of paint.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here you can see the breakdown of three distinct color sections - warm, orange-brown for the Southwestern feel, cool, silvery-grey for a mysterious mood, and both blending to violet towards the top representing the vast space between the two worlds.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This color scheme developed in my head as I was working through all the preliminary sketches so I had a good idea of where I wanted to go with color.Many times I"ll do color sketches for myself when I'm not sure what the best way to handle something is, if it hasn't just "come to me", or if a client requests one. It's hard doing color sketches for clients though, because most times my color sketches are what I call "failures" -a series of color messes that show me what I DON'T want to do. Also, many times they're simply color swatches that I find look good together, not always little mini versions of the final art. For this piece I gave the art director written notes of my intentions, and for this particular project it worked out well.</span><br />

<br />
And so at least here’s the final over of <i>Otherbound</i>.
For the finished book, we printed the type in spot UV so that it pops from the
matte background. We’re very happy with the way it turned out and think it
conveys everything we need it to—the points of view, fantasy, characters’ bodies,
warmth, roughness, etc. It was a long road but good things are worth waiting for.</div>

About the book</div>
<div>
Salem Hyde just isn’t like other kids. For one thing, she’s stubborn, independent, and impulsive. For another, she’s a witch. Salem acts first and thinks later—which means most of her thinking involves coming up with excuses!<br />
Good thing she’s been assigned an animal companion, Lord Percival J. Whamsford III. This over-anxious cat doesn’t like Salem calling him “Whammy,” and Salem doesn’t like listening to his long-winded explanations as to why she shouldn’t do something . . . like enter the class spelling bee.<br />
Salem knows she can beat all her classmates at spells, no problem. Too late, she realizes the competition is about spelling <i>words</i>, not magic. And there’s nothing like a misspelled spell to cause all kinds of havoc! </div>

About the book</div>
<div>
</div>
Brian and his friends are not part of the cool crowd. They’re the misfits and the troublemakers—the ones who jump their high school’s fence to skip class regularly. So when a deadly virus breaks out, they’re the only ones with a chance of surviving.<br />The virus turns Brian’s classmates and teachers into bloodthirsty attackers who don’t die easily. The whole school goes on lockdown, but Brian and his best friend, Chad, are safe (and stuck) in the theater department—far from Brian’s sister, Kenzie, and his ex-girlfriend with a panic attack problem, Laura. Brian and Chad, along with some of the theater kids Brian had never given the time of day before, decide to find the girls and bring them to the safety of the theater. But it won’t be easy, and it will test everything they thought they knew about themselves and their classmates.<br /><br /><b><u>Praise for </u></b><u><i><b>SICK</b></i></u><br />"The gore and action will leave enthralled readers thrilled and then sated with each kill on either side."<br />—<i>Booklist</i><br /><br /><br /><div class="bookDetailsTitle" style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">

About the book</div>
<div>
Mary O’Hara is a sharp and cheeky 12-year-old Dublin schoolgirl who is bravely facing the fact that her beloved Granny is dying. But Granny can’t let go of life, and when a mysterious young woman turns up in Mary’s street with a message for her Granny, Mary gets pulled into an unlikely adventure. The woman is the ghost of Granny’s own mother, who has come to help her daughter say good-bye to her loved ones and guide her safely out of this world. She needs the help of Mary and her mother, Scarlett, who embark on a road trip to the past. Four generations of women travel on a midnight car journey. One of them is dead, one of them is dying, one of them is driving, and one of them is just starting out.<br /><br /><u>Praise for <i>A Greyhound of a Girl</i></u><br /><div>
<b>STARRED REVIEW</b></div>
<div>
“A warm, witty, exquisitely nuanced multigenerational story.”<br />–<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, starred review<br /><br /><b>STARRED REVIEW</b></div>
<div>
“This elegantly constructed yet beautifully simple story, set in Ireland and spun with affection by Booker Prize–winner Doyle, will be something different for YA readers. These four lilting voices will linger long after the book is closed.”<br />–<i>Booklist</i>, starred review<br /><br /><b>STARRED REVIEW</b><br />"Written mostly in dialogue, at which Doyle excels, and populated with a charming foursome of Irish women, this lovely tale is as much about overcoming the fear of death as it is about death itself."<br />–<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review</div>
<div>
<br />"In this moving and artfully structured ghost tale, four generations of Irish women come together. A big part of the pleasure here is the rhythm of the language and the contrasting voices of the generations. Any opportunity to read it aloud would be a treat."<br />–<i>Horn Book</i><br /><br />"For children grieving the death of a parent or grandparent, this book provides comfort."<br />–<i>Library Media Connection</i><br /><br /><u><b>Award:</b></u><br />Capitol Choices 2013 - Noteworthy Titles for Children and Teens<br />Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) Choices 2013 list - Young Adult Fiction<br /> </div>

About the book</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 12px;">
In this fast-paced adventure story, Timothy and Jessamyn are towed through the streets of Manhattan riding in Timothy’s family’s sailboat, on their way to the Long Island shore, when the boat comes unhitched from its truck. The teens “sail” backward down a hill in Upper Manhattan, then fall down a huge construction site hole and into the vast sewer system below.<br />Thrust into an amazing adventure, the kids navigate waterfalls and rapids as they travel through the rain sewers. They meet a graffiti artist their own age, a homeless person named You, and rats the size of large dogs. They fall into the hands of a gangster who claims the sewers as her kingdom and the homeless as her subjects, and acts as a fence for luxury goods! Will she feed Timothy and Jessamyn to the rats?</div>

About the book</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 12px;">
This sweet, funny novel follows fifth-grader Genie Kunkle through a tumultuous year. From the first day of school, Genie knows there will be good, bad, and in-between. The good? She’s in homeroom with her best friend, Sarah. The bad? Sarah’s friend from camp, Blair, is a new student at their school, and is itching to take Genie’s place as Sarah’s BFF. The in-between? Genie is excited to be elected to write her class’s blog, where she’s tasked with tracking the wishes and dreams of her class. But expressing her opinion in public can be scary—especially when her opinion might make the rest of her class upset.<br />Elisabeth Dahl authentically captures the ups and downs of a tween girl’s life, and the dramas—both little and big—that fill the scary transition between childhood and adolescence.</div>

New York, NY, April 16, 2013—Amulet Books, an imprint of ABRAMS, announced today that wildly popular Star Wars™ bad guy Jabba the Hutt, transformed into origami star Jabba the Puppett, will be the lead character in Tom Angleberger’s next book in the bestselling Origami Yoda series. One of the biggest book releases of 2013, THE SURPRISE ATTACK OF JABBA THE PUPPETT has an announced first printing of 500,000 copies and will have a national one-day laydown on Tuesday, August 6, 2013. It follows the March 26, 2013, release of ART2-D2’s Guide to Folding and Doodling, which debuted on national bestseller lists its first week on sale. With more than 4.1 million copies of the books in print, this series is quickly folding its way into the hearts and halls of middle schools across the galaxy.</div>

“We have a very surprising cover star this time,” says bestselling author Tom Angleberger. “Jabba the Hutt wasn’t the lead character I was expecting. But I think once fans read the book, they will agree that it’s hard to say no to him!”<br />
<br /><span id="more-9938"></span>
An extensive marketing and publicity campaign for the series will last throughout 2013. In addition to a planned<br />
15-city tour, Tom Angleberger will be featured at the International Reading Association Annual Convention (San Antonio) and at the Texas Library Association Annual Conference (Fort Worth). The promotions—including a national consumer contest, national publicity, book trailers, origami video instructions, online events, trade and consumer advertising, additional appearances at national educational and library conferences, and a big social media push—will continue into the summer until August 6, when the book releases.</div>
