Hier’s nog ‘n ding… ek het nog alteid die iedee gehad vir my eerste boek se omslag, ‘n Cessna 172 laag bo die boomtoppe in die son-op… nou daar’s nog ‘n voorblad foto vir julle om to soek!! Dankie!! 😉
Jy moet kyk of jy die dokumentere reeks “Bush Pilots” daar kan opspoor AJ, dit gaan oor n klompie jongmense wat tussen die lodges in Botswana vlieg – jy sal baie sulke “scenes” daarin sien!
Mens jy maak my benoud… so sabbatsverlof is net vir ryk mense… netnou moet ek help betaal. Julle het reeds ongelooflike mooi foto’s dat julle moeilik sal kan kies. Jy moet ‘n oulike slim uitgewer kry?
haha – I think that my photographs are not good enough for a real wildlife illustrated book… but funny enough, I always thought about doing a good wildlife guide of Kruger National Park in German… but for that I would have to travel there once again… 🙂 and I really don’t want to compete with you – I think it will be much better if your write that book with your experience!! so once again: do it!! 🙂
Interestingly, the German market is our biggest international source of visitors to the national park system, so you’d definitely have a market for your German guide to Kruger!
Oh yes! You have so many magnificent photos to showcase!!!
The photo selections create a welcoming entrance to the park book’s cover.
I suggest exploring different font styles/placement.. I would like the print to be crisper and easier to read at a glance.Yellow is not easily read. When using color fonts, look into which colors might pose problems for folks who are color-blind… I think yellow may be one in the range that causes difficulty… but don’t quote me on that.
I hope you will publish a book someday… it will be stunning ❤

Thanks for the thoughtful and encouraging contribution Jane!
Funny you should mention the colour-blindness thing; had I not been a “sufferer” I might have chosen a different colour all together. Better to leave that to the experts when the day does come 😉
The 3rd has such a dreamy quality to it!

Miskien moet ons n sabbatsverlof vat, n karavaantjie Shingwedzi toe trek en n begin gaan maak met die boek. Gee jy vir ons toestemming Tina?
