When I was designing my book cover I had a completely different idea to what I wanted my book cover to look like. I went to many book stores and looked at various book covers to determine an art style I wanted to go with.
As an artist it can be sometimes hard to translate the ideas onto a blank canvas when you aren't completely sure on what you want. I knew my skills were a little limited for the idea I wanted but I didn't want that to stop me.
Hence, when looking at my cover design I wanted it to be different, something that would stand out because it's not uniformly designed like the standard blue print out there.
A thought came to me to do different background designs for different versions of the book. I later discovered that many authors do that. The background for the hardback is more of a sunset feel, in the spring months in the England especially where I live the sky depicts these types of colours.
It's where the daylight meets the nightlight much like the light and dark concept of my book.
With the paperback I wanted a more summery feel, that warmth you feel in brighter parts of the year. Like the hardback contrast, the paperback cover fades from light to dark to appreciate the tones of both.
Universe of Light: The Ethereal Realm is a introspective fantasy book, that allows you to go on a journey to harmonise the tones of one's self. To understand that we all offer something different in the world and that is something we should appreciate, not reject.
