March/April 2017 Lite Challenge: Finding the Fleet

[Straf]

I once got 16 calls and offers of rooms available in the space of 10 minutes flat when I was a student back in the 80's by advertising in the local rag for digs by saying: 'Desperately seeking accommodation - Susan' (for those who are too young to remember, Desperately Seeking Susan was a new hit film back then, with the very young and newly made popstar Madonna in it).

I think you missed an 's' from one of the words in there

[Mouse]

Sorry Straf - only caught an extra hour of sleep so far today. I'm missing it entirely. Where's that then?

[Mouse]

Ooookaaaay

We have:

- Centralised text (where the design allows it)
- Paler land (though still darker than the sea because I kind of like it that way)
- A second attempt at the feather (which will be redone a third time)

Am I getting slightly warmer, or should I get a bit more drastic?

[ChickPea]

Nice work on this so far!

"... a new hit film ..." ?

[Mouse]

Nice work on this so far!

Aw thanks ChickPea

I guess I must be getting warmer

"... a new hit film ..." ?

Aaaah. I see it now.

I stuck the earplugs in and got some daytime sleep, so my brain is now functioning more or less normally.

And, well - People either love or hate Madonna - rarely in between

[Mouse]

I've come to the conclusion that this feather has actually defeated me. This is the best I can do.

Haven't decided whether I'm going to do another update yet, so this may be my final WIP

[Straf]

It looks good to me. The feather seems to be a bit more 'in' the picture. The text is very striking but then it catches the eye.

This looks nicely crafted now Mouse The feather is a work of art on its own

[Mouse]

Aw thank you, Straf

I'm looking forward to seeing your entry develop

[Mouse]

I've forgotten something!

I really ought to enter this the same size as you would see it on Amazon if you clicked the thumbnail of the cover




and of course - the blurb to go with it:

In the first book of the not even ranked free series on Amazon by the totally unheard of Sue Daniel, the people of Ethran managed to cross he void between their twin worlds against all the odds. Now that they are settled and have established their first cities and towns, a small hand picked group of their descendants are being sent into the wilderness of the unexplored hinterland to find the survivors of rest of the fleet and hopefully bring them home to New Merelan, but they soon find themselves in terrible danger with no way of calling for help.

(I probably need to work with that a bit!)
