Yay, an actual recent-ish design!
As you'll see in the bloopers below, this was one of the cover drafts made for a friend for her amazing book (I desperately need to read), Butterfly Wings! This one was rejected as she thought it to be more horror book cover than uplifting book cover about overcoming trials. Frankly, I just wanted to try out the design you'll see in the inspiration graphic and her prompt was sorta perfect for it.
Looking at it again now, it's not as cool overall as I thought it looked, but hey, cool design concept. And it's quite different from the design trend in this book haha.
Tip: Try designing something monochromatic/dichromatic. Play with colours or themes you normally wouldn't use and see where the design goes. Sometimes, creativity comes with restricted prompts.
More cover drafts that were rejectedddd. If you want to see what the new/accepted design was, you can head over to her profile Shreya_VA or check it out in my portfolio (link in bio).
I changed the original title from Butterfly Wings to Butterfly Kisses in the premade to better suit the idea haha. So I guess in a way, it's another fan cover?? I haven't read the book but judging from the cover, it's probably good.
