It's Cover Reveal week for Furthermore! Thanks to the talent of so many wonderful authors, our anthology is nearly complete and will be released on December 11th. We can't wait to begin raising money to further more cancer research. But today, I'm excited to share the cover with you. So keep on scrolling :)
So what do you think? Are you a fan of our anthology cover? I am. And I'll fill you in on the rationale for why.
It's a challenge to find one image that perfectly encapsulates 18 original stories (and also fits 7 author names). Because of this, we found one without any specific people, places, or things. We landed on showcasing water. Water is known as a universal symbol of change and often presents a turning point in a story.
We also liked this cover image in relation to our title, Furthermore. Here, you're inside the cave looking out. It hints to the fact that there's more to be found, searched, explored... told. Since each short story is an extension of one of our series, it's quite fitting.
Another thing we liked is the use of colors, along with the emotions it creates. There's a mixture of lightness and darkness, forming shadows and areas of brightness. The dark clouds compete with the vivid orange of the sun. The rough detail of the cave contrast with the gentle blue of the water. We think this aligns well with the ongoing battle against cancer. We didn't want to send a cover out into the world that was overly optimistic or likewise depressing. The message we want to depict is that we can all work together to further more cancer research.
