Covermakers Chat Thread

We can't do anything with covers until the project has an Internet Archive page, which is made at the end of the validation project.
The covers are stored on the projects IA page.

Then what are preclaims for?

Post by **annise** » May 24th, 2024, 1:10 am

You didn't say you wanted to preclaim - if you check the first post in the working thread it is clearly explained, you just need to post there that you wish to preclaim the cover - you need to have a project number and be the BC. But you can do that as soon as you have a project number

I've hunted out the project, found the number and preclaimed it for you.

When you upload it, please post about it in the working thread, here: viewtopic.php?t=28785

It might get missed over in this chat thread.

I'm exploring possibilities for the Wedding Day project.

Do you think this is showing too much of the model, such that the photo cannot be used? https://pixabay.com/photos/woman-bride-wedding-female-6555889/

I've got other possibilities, but this one is so striking.

Post by **annise** » May 25th, 2024, 6:15 am

She's definitely recognisable, so probably not - I can't see any way you could write over the face - pity the bride isn't veiled

Yeah, that's what I suspected. Thanks!

I think if that is the picture you want there are ways to disguise her enough.

I went with a different picture. Thanks, though!

Loved the first picture but I think the one you used was more relevant.

Hello!
I finished Melete by Karoline von Günderode in German.
https://librivox.org/melete-by-karoline-von-guenderrode/
I would be very happy to have a nice cover.

The point of this book is:

Karoline committed suicide in 1806 and the lover, who had disappointed her had her last book, Melete, pulped, before it was finished printing, because he feared, he could be outed as her lover (he was married and well known). So the book was destroyed during print and 100 years later the leftovers were found and put together, so that the book was reconstructed. This story can is some way be depicted, a destroyed book or something like that?

Thank you for the help as always -

AliceStein

Sounds interesting and I'd take on the cover except that I'm at my quota of 2 claims already. Morals of this tale could be: #1 don't tattle on your lovers, #2, don't sneak around on your spouse, #3 always keep a copy of your manuscript hidden away. I'm sure there are others.

There is a portrait of her on Wikipedia which could be used and I feel would help readers understand her short tragic life ?

Anne

added - this is just an idea/ personal opinion.

added moral
If you want to destroy paper - throw it in a fire and wait till it is totally destroyed - you don't want Sherlock reconstructing it. Though I suppose there is always Dr. Who
