Since the last update I wanted to do further pursue the silhouette idea in which there would be a fading downward gradient and then a harsh block colour of the outline of something with relevance to the story, so I started doing some very broad experimenting with different images and I came up with this:
Here I simply got a picture of a church silhouette from a small village and put it on a book cover template that I have cropped out in this picture, however it was more of a process of idea development, as you can see the title is in the original font with a slightly thicker stroke as I felt it needed to stand out more. The strap line positioned and fit very nicely just below the skyline and gave a path of vision towards the authors name at the bottom which makes it stand out suitably however does not take any glory from the main title which is very important when taking aspects into account for what the reader/customer in a book shop will see first.
The image itself is quite powerful and I'm glad the picture had a gradient like sky so I could see how it looked with a proper skyline and I think it works, definitely and idea I'm going to pursue.
