Sex and Salmonella Schwag Giveaway!

It is time for another Tory Bauer schwag give away!  Last week  my Mom received her latest CafePress order complete with a Sex and Salmonella t-shirt, apron, pint glasses, magnets and note cards. A plan was hatched soon afterward to raffle off some author and cover artist signed schwag. Register below for the raffle to win a Sex and Salmonella magnet and note card signed by the author and cover artist.


It is easy to enter:
1. You must post a comment below to enter and tell me where you heard about this raffle. (Facebook, Twitter, another blog, etc.)
2. Three lucky winners will be picked out of a hat and the winners will be announced here on Thursday, August 11, 2011.
3.  One signed magnet and note card (and envelope) will be mailed to the winners.


Good Luck!

Sex and Salmonella: final e-cover design



Sex and Salmonella sketches
and early design mockups.


This concept sketch is quite a bit more refined than Funeral Food but I still wanted to add way too many elements into the frame.

The first "frame" and you can see why it was quickly rejected.  For some reason I thought the tarp and cardboard were going to work.

The custom carnival font made its first appearance, though.  The carnival font spurred a thought to make the "frame" look like a vintage carnival poster



The vintage carnival poster made its debut with the third version.  I knew I had a keeper with that design but I ran into a wall when it came time to add the inside elements.  

As with the Funeral Food cover, cutting the clutter was the key. I cut the initial elements by 2/3 (I won't bore you with those covers) and then I cut the number of elements again for the final version
