Cover design and voting contest suspended, lesson learned
Sunday, March 9th, 2008Just hours ago, I announced a contest to vote for and, if desired, even design the cover of my book due out next year. This contest had been suspended, please do not submit designs.
Here is why…
My sole goal in creating this contest was to take a creative process that was usually reserved for a small number of in-house designers and open it up to anyone else who wanted an opportunity to let their creative talents be considered for the cover of a book. And, I wanted people to be able to have a voice in then choosing what covers most appealed to them.

I genuinely thought it was a nice thing. Designers would get exposure through the public display and voting process and everyone could have a voice.
