I did not actually design something; however, I made up for it yesterday. Trying to come up with a book cover for <em>Yellow River<\/em>, I came up with two quite different designs. I did use the same typeface, Diavlo, but I tried to play with a different picture (that came from the wonderful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eviltomthai\/\" target=\"_blank\">eviltomthai<\/a>), layout, and effects. I think I like this one more than yesterday&#8217;s but not by much.<\/p>\n<p>I think this <em>Yellow River<\/em> will still take place in China; however, I don&#8217;t think it will be another scientific adventure story. With this cover, I think the book would be either a documentary on the cultures around the Yellow River or a sad love story in the slums of Lanzhou, a city along the river. Any ideas yourself? Its kind of a cool idea to create a story based solely on a cover. I know we were taught as children to not judge a book by its cover but is it not fun anyway?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103\" title=\"Yellow River by I.P.
