Viz has submitted what I hope to god is just the promotional cover to their Angel Sanctuary release. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1591162459.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Yeah, I may be over reacting, but give me an hour and I could easily produce a better cover in photoshop. Geeze, they can't even spell "Story" right. I hope the person who was to proof read that got in trouble. *is grouchy* I really hope Angel Sanctuary doesn't get a cover with THAT font and and THAT cupid on the cover. The person really needs to go back to graphic design class and learn about color and atmosphere again. |

Viz released a pretty lousy cover pic of Rurouni Kenshin also. The actual cover was a lot better. I hope that it's the same situation here. I know the plot of Angel Sanctuary and those soft colors definitely don't cut it.

If you read Previews you'll see that companies including Viz often submit sample images that are only rough versions of the finished product. Almost every issue has an ugly picture of something, and the finished product turns out totally different. Don't panic!

Still, even if it is a rough cover - there is no excuse for a publishing company to have "sorty" on the cover of a book. Thats too gross of a mis-spelling for me to think it might be a typo.
Unless they did it on purpose. |

They 'preview' covers for certain reasons. One of them is for response.
Send them an email and complain. Don't be snobby, but professionally as possible, type up a little letter explaining your reasons for why you think it should be different (i.e. the colour scheme) They, more than likely, will never respond to you, but they will pay attention to it. Working in a production department is hell made with fonts and type sets. Things get overlooked, they don't always catch things unless it is brought to their attention. |
