Time-lapse of book-cover design
Lauren from Orbit books sez, "I thought you guys might like my latest behind the scenes design project, while designing the latest cover in a Victorian/Steampunk book series, I left the video screen-capture on...for like 6 hours (never knew how much I checked email until I had to edit them out of there) - we condensed the rest down to just under 2 minutes, and voila."
I love watching people who are good at their jobs do their thing, such a treat to watch over Lauren's shoulder. Also, what a smart little promo for the book!
design editor's inspiration (Thanks, Lauren!)
