Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

Yeah, there’s tons of cool references in there, just like with the show itself. Also just noticed that it’s Vasquez Rocks in the background.

I think it’s almost there, from a graphic design standpoint. The title is IMHO not readable enough in that small size and with that planet behind it and the whole things needs more contrast between background and foreground to make it pop. Something like so and it’s perfect …

Yeah, comparing the two, the higher-contrast background is definitely better. The first version really washes out the title way too much.

Thank you! In any case, I think it’s super cool that they commissioned a new piece of art for the book cover and didn’t just use an existing one. Can only mean good things for the rest of the book, I feel like.

Ooh, yes, that does look better, @Michael!
(While we're suggesting changes we'd like to make, instead of the senior staff & background going from outlines to colour from the centre out, I'd reverse it so Carol, Jack and T'Ana are in colour with the others fading to outlines then animatics/pencil sketches etc.)

I'm really looking forward to this book - "only" five & a half

-ing months to go!!
