So the project that aged my future husband by 10 years and sprouted some grey hairs here and there has finally (almost) come to an end! Yay!
But it was some project: design the jacket for Dan Brown's new book, The Lost Symbol.
Now, when he started on the project, he didn't know the title, hadn't read the manuscript and had no idea what the book was about... Finally, after 6 months and 68 versions, they let him read the script in the privacy of his office and after signing the necessary NDAs. Another thirty something version later, the final result was unveiled on yesterday's Today show on NBC (Matt Lauer!!!).
Let's hope for him, the next book cover will be less of a "design by committee" enterprise...
This is the cover, what do you think?
See video of the unveiling!!!

Very nice cover!
The symbols alone makes wanting to buy it.
I just hope Mr. Brown isn't going down the easy money road...
By the way: "future husband"? CONGRATS!
