I promised you guys that I would post pictures of the Wither marketing display, and I always keep my word. Plus, I wanted you all to see just how beautiful the real cover is! I should have posted Friday, but I got sick. Boo. I'm almost better now, but between my cold and the fact that I sprained my ankle earlier in the week, I'm no longer going into NYC for the conclusion of the NYC Teen Author Festival. This seriously depresses me. I was looking forward to going to Books of Wonder and listening to all those fabulous authors (esp. Sarah Beth Durst!). Boo, boo. Oh well, always next year. Wasn't meant to be this time around. Have fun if you go! Can't wait to hear all about it!
It's HUGE. Very tall. While the corrugated display isn't as striking as the cover held within its shelves, I must say, I like the way they focused on a tree. Trees are important in Wither. Plus, if literature classes have warped your brain to the point where you see symbolism in everything, you'll also be focusing on that sole, barren, desolate, empty tree... *coughs* AHEM!
But you want to see the gorgeous cover, yes? Yes!
The pink isn't so cotton candy in the final product, which makes me even happier with the design. It's sultry and metallic; this color brings out her eyeshadow even more! Plus, with the final cover art, you can see that the stunning front photography continues through to the back cover, revealing even more imagery and symbolism than previously notated. Plus, even the inside flaps are gorgeous! This cover seriously makes me swoon. One of the best teen covers (imo)! Books two and three need to top it though, yes? Can't wait to see!
Finally--and I don't know if this was there in the ARC and I overlooked it or a final design change--even the copyright page is using the boxed-in design and it looks AMAZING:
This book just amazes me more and more...
