A Novel Cover Up is a semi-regular feature that looks at how covers are made. Thanks to Tyche, as part of the Blog Tour for The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes, I was able to interview illustrator Lili Ibrahim about how she designed the cover for The Palace Job. All images in this post are copyrighted to Lili Ibrahim, unless otherwise stated, and used with permision. All images can be clicked to enlarged.
Can you tell us about the cover for The Palace Job? What do you hope it tells readers about the story?What I like about the cover for ‘The Palace Job’ is that it gives the impression of an old fashioned ‘Wanted’ poster – reflecting the activities of the main characters. I hope it gives the readers an idea of an atmosphere, and I hope that whoever picks up the book feels like they want to know more about the strange crew on the cover.
