I thought I'd share some of the process for Band Together!
The cover is always a fun part to do, and because the story is about a band and a solo act, I looked to record covers for inspiration.
My editor @kristinEEnderle was completely on board with the idea and suggested we...

...make the book a cracking 10"x10" so it looked like a record in itself!
I start off with little thumbnails to see what's working, and then I'll size them up and have a play around with some colour ways and eventually it ends up as the final thing!...

...Can you spot which albums I was looking at in my tiny thumb roughs?!
