#(see the penguin collection had the right sort of idea - except they made ASIS blue and they *did* put the profile on it) | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

I really doubt the polar bears are shivering yet, and I still really don't like doing cover design, but my brain said "what if the Sherlock Holmes books had cameos on them?" and then said "you CAN'T put the Holmes profile on ASIS, don't be lazy, he isn't there yet".

So I'm left with what is probably a good idea, but only enough brain to come up with three out of nine--

I have no idea what goes on A Study In Scarlet

The Sign Of Four gets a lady (Mary) in a pearl necklace

The Holmes profile can go on Adventures

No ideas for Memoirs

The Hound of the Baskervilles can have the hound against the moon (original, I know)

No ideas for Return, ditto The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, and Case-Book.

Anybody else want to knock braincells over this one?

#sherlock holmes #acd canon #cover design #i LOVE cameos i think they're really cool #i'll allow specks of colour though #like i feel the pearls on TSOF need to be white so you can tell what they are #the backgrounds are nice old leather book texture in different colours #(ASIS is red - as that's the only real complaint i have with my copy)#(i guess TSOF can be blue)#i kinda feel like the collections should be the same colour to differentiate them from the novels? but i'm not sure about that #(see the penguin collection had the right sort of idea - except they made ASIS blue and they *did* put the profile on it)#(so adventures has what i think is meant to be the snake from speckled band on it)#(TSOF has a syringe on it which ehhhhhh... not really a fan of that tbh)
