I directly mentioned this one on the Writeoff discord channel when the gallery came out, 'cause I find that it works pretty well as a book cover for the story. Which is pretty fun!
So I'm guessing this is like, Photoshop stuff over a photograph. The effect is simple but works -- I like the effect of the story itself being in the picture; it emphasizes the whole 'book cover' feel of it.
That said, not much I can add for the picture. Colors are nice, a purple palette and all, although I think the title gives it a cheap feel. It reminds me of those covers you see on Amazon sometimes -- and they don't always look like the cream of the crop, if ya get me.
I'm assuming this is supposed to represent one of the participants on the chat, and the fact that her face is blurred signifies the whole 'hidden identity' thing; the story is about finding who's human after all, so she's hiding something. Adding to the book-cover feel of it all is that, unlike any other pic made out of this story (I think), this one doesn't give away the twist, i.e., that there are no actual humans in the story. Rather, this cover shows the opposite.
So it's a lying cover, but more than that, it's a cover that doesn't spoil the story. Which, in the end, is what book covers should do, so I don't actually think that's bad -- kinda see it like a plus, honestly.
Not much else to say. Colors look nice, effects look nice, but I think the title takes away from it. Neat, overall, though!
