And finally...some Our Inner Ape redesigns
The first image below is the original cover. Following that are two redesigns (I won't say who did what just yet). And I'm torn over posting the banana / penis design sent in by "Johnny Cash." I'll think about that one.

WOW! Those two are far superior to the boring original.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of re-designing awful covers. Do it again.
Btw, (I'll ask again) you read books on your HONEYMOON?!!?
Thanks for putting these up. I agree with Kitty - great idea. It's fun to see how different the directions can be - and would be fun to do again.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of shouting prematurely, if mine was the design lost in the wash - it can be found at:

Thanks, CD.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kitty: yes! We *both* read books on our honeymoon. But of course there was lots of time for other stuff.
I always wondered why Neanderthal men are shown covered in white chalk. As an archaeologist, I can safely assure you that we're pretty sure they didn't have a chalk fetish...
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good question!
