Well, the day has finally arrived. Once again, I have a renewed appreciation for graphic designers. Graphic artist, Lubosh Chec has exceeded every expectation. Working in collaboration with another human being and starting with a completely blank canvas is a very difficult thing to do.

The examples I'm presenting to you today are actually the second round of the book cover concepts. Many of my original ideas had to be scrapped because they just didn’t work.

An effective book cover has always been important for authors but never more so than today. There are now millions of authors who are self-publishing books every year and your cover is what introduces your book to the world. It must look good on a shelf as well as in thumbnail format online. It’s important that your cover stands out from the crowd and makes an instant impression with the reader.

With this cover, my aim was to convey the importance of meditation. The image of the aurora borealis (northern lights) on the cover symbolizes how meditation can free you from the darkest night and awaken the light within. This image is also strikingly similar to what I see during deep meditation.

I’m unveiling these covers here on Steemit exclusively, even before I reveal them to my author newsletter subscribers. Why? Because this community has been so extremely supportive of my work.

So without further adieu, here they are. Which is your favorite? A, B, C, or D and why? I’m going to take each opinion into account before I make my final decision. I thank you in advance for your feedback and support!
