Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments The Song Remains the Same by Allison Winn Scotch - there is some kind of abstract looking design on it - no idea what its supposed to be

the image is horrible, on the book i have, there is much more of a pink/purple distinction

Just looks like some random, abstract design to me. That works!

Jamie | 421 comments Hi, will this work? I'm not even sure what this shape is supposed to be although I think it's blood

Mr. Perfect by Linda Howard


message 125: by Kristina Simon (new)

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11204 comments Nicola wrote: "Will you accept this one:? A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters"

No, sorry, that's not abstract. It's a cross at the hilt of a sword or staff.

Looks like blocks of color to me. That works.

Company Town by Madeline Ashby

No, sorry, there's an identifiable building and crane on the cover.

For this task, you're looking for something that has no identifiable, namable equivalent in the real world. Does that help at all?

Kai | 177 comments Does this look ok to you?
Watchmen by Alan Moore


message 130: by Kim (new)

Kim Anderson (kimmatski) | 204 comments Would this work for abstract even though there is a white heart in the center?

First & Then by Emma Mills

No, sorry, the heart shape knocks it out of the abstract category.

No, sorry, there appears to be a fingerprint above the letter I.

Nicola | 1360 comments Third time lucky? The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

I think I saw previously that the company penguin logo isn't considered to be part of the cover.

If this isn't the rule then I can use the book in another task which has an option for a bird on the cover - so either way I can use the book.

Dang that penguin anyway! Unfortunately, he makes it not abstract. Hopefully, the other task you have in mind is a 5-point task? The book is only 83 pages long.....

I'll find a home for it if i read it :-)

So just to confirm a company logo is considered to be part of the cover? I'm just triple checking because I seem to recall seeing a book being rejected previously with the ruling that a publisher's logo didn't count as a valid image. I just don't want to trip over this sometime in the future and wind up on the wall that shall not be named :-)

It depends on the task and the task creator. Some ignore design elements, such as the publisher's logo, and others don't. We try to have that all spelled out in the task itself (especially if it is to be ignored). Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't... ;-)

Burning Chrome by William Gibson Count Zero by William Gibson or The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi would work.
