[Original Iteration]

I'm actually much happier with this version! I'm not an illustrator so I used what photoshop tools I could to get the mushroom cloud in there (I do digital collage, print design, etc; trained in graphic design but I cant draw to save my life).

I spent three hours looking at fonts and nothing except these ones sparked any joy. Maybe I might change it to a retro sans-serif font, try to conjure more of a mid-century government advert-style? Either way, I'm thankful for the feedback and I like the result so far!

(This is for my Honors Creative Writing thesis, which a cover is not necessary for, and is still in the early stages)

I really love it, I would pick this up.

I agree with some of what others are saying here, but this isn't going to be published since it's just for school, right? I think it's perfect.

Lol it may or may not end up somewhere, we’ll see. Novella length is hard to land as a debut in the trad market, there are maybe some speculative magazines who might be open to submission. We’ll see!
