This page is to share my ideas for the jacket design of the book.
The actual book cover, in its final form.
Warriors attacking?
This is an image of what the Great Temple at Tenochtitlan might have looked like.
Here’s an idea related to the cogwheels and the Mesoamerican calendar.
This was a seed concept for the cover book #1. The temple is self-evident, but the cogwheels derive from the interlocking days of the Mesoamerican calendar in which each month has 20 named days that mesh with thirteen numbered days. A more sophisticated version of this might have stone cogwheels with the graphical symbols of the named days around the edge.
Is “Book #1″ giving the game away alittle? (hint: Star Wars)
(I like the Ziggurat and the cogs, BTW. Made me think of the Antikythera mechanism)
