This post is an answer to the Weekly Photo Challenge on Cover Art.
“For this week’s Photo Challenge, stimulate your creative process and imagine which of your images you would like to see gracing the cover of a book, an album, or a magazine. Would the image inspire us to take a peek through the pages, listen to the music, or buy a ticket to the show? Would it strike a chord with viewers, making them reflect on or revisit memories of places, people, and experiences?”
Here are my shenanigans. What do you think?
Photo taken in July 2005, while visiting Rajasthan in India. I talked to this person with the help of a translator; despite the primitive way she lived, she dreamed of a better life. Used PicMonkey for edition. copyright ©2014 Lucile de Godoy.com All Rights Reserved
Photo taken with an Iphone 5. This could be the cover of a brochure for the Slow Food movement. Used PicMonkey for edition. copyright ©2014 Lucile de Godoy.com All Rights Reserved
Photo taken with an iphone from a garage door in Amsterdam. It inspired me to use it as a quick guidebook for tourists. Used PicMonkey for edition. copyright ©2014 Lucile de Godoy.com All Rights Reserved
Same photo now used to make an alternative cover for the book of Daniel Kahneman, which cover I found very dull. Used PicMonkey for edition. copyright ©2014 Lucile de Godoy.com All Rights Reserved
Love the pic of the girl! and the clever cover for the dull econ book. Although a know a guy who would think that is the most exciting book in the entire world! Enjoyed your pics.
Thanks, April! I confess I love the book but not for its excitement…nor the cover!! Thanks for visiting.
Nice pic. Rajasthan is known for the highest level of hospitality of its people. Yes they are ambitious too. I came across a guide in Jaisalmer who never went to school but could speak French like a pro!
Thanks for dropping by. I had that impression too. People were friendly, helpful and absolutely resourceful.
no question about it, your images are great! the rajasthan image really evokes the climate there, but i’ve only visited that area a couple of times. who knew a snail was both edible and educational 😉
Thanks I.M.! My guess is that Rajasthan hasn’t changed with time. Snails can serve many purposes; their slow pace might help them multitasking! 😉
You are motivating
😉your blog is seriously interesting. I really mean that.
When I first saw these this morning, I was on my iPhone, and I was torn between the snail covers and the Dutch tile-look (I’d love to see the whole garage door!). But now, on my laptop, I might prefer the Indian photo for a book cover: you did lovely things with PicMonkey, too.
Sandi, I made photos of garage doors with grafitti at one special street in Ansterdam; i will publish them for you soon, as the one you like is there.
PicMonkey is a great tool!
Fabulous cover art! Great take on!
Thank you, Amy, also for dropping by.I enjoyed doing them!
Great shots ! Enjoyed all of them and the wording and font written on them…
I’ve got to check out PicMonkey!
Thanks, Lia! Go there, it’s awesome. I got the tip from Michelle during Blogging101.
Oh thanks for the tip!!
Beautiful photo of the Girl from Rajasthan. It looks like a painting. I would definitely vote for that one.
I love all of them but the first one is my favorite. Such a great picture!
Want to know a secret? Mine too! 😉
Thought so! 😉
Stunningly beautiful!
Thank you so much; also for visiting the blog.
Great ones! 🙂
The first image has many stories in one–well done.
Thanks Sally; your opinion means a lot to me.
Thank you.
