If you've ever lost a loved one due to hospital error or negligence, as I have, this topic hits home. The author hits it home so well that many awards came fast. With the information and advice in this book, you can be an effective advocate for someone in the hospital and get better care. More than 150 interviews with nurses, doctors, social workers and families are included.
For the cover, I chose a hospital room for the background, then blurred it and added shadows to make the title easy to read, but also to give it a greater sense of distance. The monitor, to the right, is sharply focused and obviously in the foreground. Combining these gives a strong sense of depth which pulls you into the room. it's a powerful subtitle so it has the strongest color.
Click the cover to see it enlarged, as with all my posts.
Thanks for the kind words, George.
ReplyDeleteI honestly believe part of why my book has won so many awards (ten now) is because of the dynamic cover you designed. People respond to your cover. Recently, I did a radio interview and the host told me on the air how much she loved the cover and the title.
What I love about your covers is that they are commercial, contemporary, created with great skill and an eye for marketing.
I have now asked you to design the Critical Conditions workbook cover, and when my next book is finished, I'll be looking forward to yet another fantastic cover.
Plus, you don't often find real talent, and a great combo of great talents (you have such a good sense of marketing) in such a nice person. I mean that. George is great to work with. Okay, enough gush.
