The Many Faces of "Wedding Score" | Behind-the-Scenes of Cover Design

Published on by Amanda Tero6 Comments
You’ve probably heard me say it before: I love behind-the-scenes. Designing the cover of “Wedding Score” had a few in-process snippets that I deliberated, leading me to the final design.
#1 – Choosing Stephanie
Choosing a model can be pretty tough. Especially if you’re a photographer and you just wish you could up and take a picture exactly how you want it (and yes… I ended up doing that anyway with the sheet music…). These are the models I considered for various reasons. At first, I really wanted to feature a piano on the cover, but I quickly realized that didn’t portray the concept I had in mind, so I had to scratch that one.

Tip to the designer: landscape crops are really difficult to work with. 😉 “If they had just given me MORE PERSON to work with!!!” 😉 
#2 – Background Color
Confession time: I think backgrounds are the most challenging for me. Fonts are okay. Once I find the cover model, it goes fairly well. But how to combine the text, model, and background? Yeah, that is usually challenging.

#3 – Positioning
Should Steph be the left or right side? Also, exactly how should the title be positioned? That’s what I was pondering at this stage.

#4 – Floating Music
I had this idea that I wanted, but getting it from imagination to cover had its challenges. First off, I searched for hours for sheet music to feature. Of course, I couldn’t find it. So, while I put that idea on hold, I shoved around a couple ideas.

What ended up happening was me taking pictures of my own sheet music suspended in air and editing that to fit in.

#5 – And repositioning
If you notice, I played a lot with the background fading from bottom to top or top to bottom. I actually still like this fade, but because I added the sheet music, the balance ended up being off.

  
#6 – And the Final
“Just like that,” I take you to the final cover I’ve been blasting all over social media. 😉 I know every designer says their latest cover is their favorite, but I really, really do like the way this cover turned out and had some great pointers from different friends to help me capture my thoughts.


Wedding Score is HERE!

Today is the day!!! Stephanie’s story is out in the world! And by world, I mean a little more than usual… as it’s not just on Amazon, but these other retailers. Or you can just order a signed paperback. 😉 Or, you can keep scrolling down for the giveaway and bonus. 🙂

“Wedding Score” is a very special story for me. An author puts a lot of her heart into her books, but in this one, it’s got a LOT of my heart. My family accuses me that “Wedding Score” is an autobiography. It’s not… exactly… But it does have tons of situations and life lessons that I have personally learned throughout the past few years. God has taught me (and is still teaching me) some invaluable lessons along this single-life journey. Being able to write it through the eyes of Stephanie has been such a huge blessing for me! And then, to hear how it blesses others and encourages them in their single journey… my heart is so full!!

Announcing… Wedding Score!

Published on by Amanda Tero5 Comments
Most girls dream of their wedding days. Except me. I’m too busy practicing piano to be the live soundtrack for everyone else’s weddings to think about my own. I’ve survived most of my twenties with harmonious chords and pleasant days. So why is it that now, at twenty-seven, a discordant feeling presents itself? Is there a solid solution to loneliness when there is absolutely no potential husband on the horizon?

I am beyond excited to announce a new project: “Wedding Score.” When a writer writes, they put a little of themselves in each story. I did with the entire Tales of Faith series. With other short stories I’ve written. But nothing comes from the depths of my heart like this one. Pianist? Yep. Single? Check. Struggling with contentment? Been there, done that. I have yearned to write this story since 2016, but the timing was never right. Today, the timing is right.

After having four siblings and countless cousins and friends marry, there have been so many lessons God has taught me in the singleness journey. Yet, if you look at bookshelves, you really don’t find many stories about that. They’re about finding the one true love. Falling in love. But what about staying content when there really isn’t hope on the horizon? When you really don’t know what the future holds–staying single or getting married? What then? This is the message I explore in my upcoming novella and I look forward to sharing it with the world in October, Lord willing!
