Boring Book Covers


I submitted two covers for Boring Book Covers at Before and After Magazine on a lark. It was fun and humorous to come up with a boring book cover that would put you to sleep. One cover The Art of Folding Clothes they actually posted with comments. What FUN!












I did another one, The Truth About Nuts & Bolts.

They had about 120 submissions and eventually hope to post a PDF of all of them.

Should be fun and interesting.

Networking

Realize I haven't posted anything in quite a while and feel that I should make some comments.

I have been working long, long days at trying to get approximately 1200 pages to final PDFs and get 1200 more reformatted and into K4. It is killing me and taking its toll but getting there.

I have been spending a lot of time on twitter
. At first I thought "What is the big deal with this thing?" but the more time I spend on it the more I learn. Especially if you follow the right people in the same or similar fields as yourself. You can learn a lot.

I have found a lot of very talented people, many freebies, many exciting blogs and sites, and met some great helpful people. It is amazing that if you have an issue or a problem you need resolved, you can get an almost immediate answer or a reference to an area that may help you.

Afterall, it is all about learning, keeping up on new ideas, and getting yourself out there.
