why there are a lot of books with snake on the cover this year I'm tired being represented
lmao.
because REPRESENTATION is IMPORTANT, embrace ur snake selfie
@@withcindy * hiss *
Is it species-ist to ask if u like apples?
@@yeehaw69 not where I expected this comment to go😂😂😂👏👏👏 ded.😂
“i added a... i dunno; period stain or whatever...”
and this is why cindy is literally the most relatable person on the planet
in retrospect i should've scripted this video so i could use actual design terminology
readwithcindy period stain is still the best way to describe it ngl
Oh my GOD. I thought she meant period as in time period and guessed that maybe red stains like that used to be a thing way back in the day or something and I'm just the only dumbass who doesn't know about art history!! Can't believe she was literally just referring to The Monthly Leak! 😂😂
When Cindy's designs are much better than the actual book cover
🤭🤭🤭🤭
I feel like the white one should be on the dust jacket and the black should be what’s printed on the actual hardcover, because both are too perfect not to use.
that's a great idea! why not BOTH
Yes, THIS. When it happens, I want this edition!!
Omg yes
EXACTLY!!!!!
Omg yesss I don't have money to buy this book but I'll save up so when this edition comes out I have enough money to buy not just the paperback but the exclusive hardback edition with two covers and designed by Cindy lol.
the second design (kisses fingers like a chef)
you can never go wrong with skulls 😘
I agree, it's my fave by far! Mwah!
Agreeee
Have you thought about making this into a series? Your design videos are so wonderful to watch uwu
not sure if i have enough talent to pull more book covers outta my ass
@@withcindy Even if it was once a month it'd be fun to watch. It feels like I'm learning instead of slowly suffocating my brain cells with cat videos.
Could be a loose series about design. Like, combination of concept art of web design, book design, poster, social media layout, etc.
"for number five i used a hand bc there are 5 fingers in a hand" that's deadass the level of creativity i operate on.
The first cover is so aesthetic i need it now!
it's genius luv
The second cover looks like a book any YA main character would find in a dark library full of dust and creepy sounds with secrets and possibly dangerous creatures
Also looks like the book I would buy just cus it’s pretty
haha thank you
This should be a series. It’s oddly calming watching you design the covers. Not being weird!
thank you! i get what you mean! i watched other design videos as inspo too :)
id love this as a series
Agreed. Cindy’s design-related videos are my favorite.
1: To me this is basically an essay in video form explaining and solidifying why Cindy should be hired to design dook cover. (Leigh Bardugo hit her up)
2: The white cover was beautiful *chef's kiss*
haha i dont think i have enough range to be a book cover designer but i'd love to be in charge of campaigns for books cuz they need help!
Ah yes cindy designs lovely dook covers.
I'll never be able to look at the Japan's flag the same way again...
japan sweetie i;m so sorry
...noOOOOooo why?! I can't unsee it now. 😫
ID BUY IT.
Also I LOVE CHIP’S WORK.
New profession: book designer
i'd buy you
"i added a period stain on it"
feminism 101 with cindy
what can i say? im a true Feminist Icon
@@withcindy i agree. we stan a woke queen
'if I were a secret society, what kind of bouquet would I pick out?' ones with SYMBOLISM, duh
rearrange the bouquet to look like an eyeball... ILLUMINATI BOUQUET
I need the link to these as art prints like, YESTERDAY.
thank you sophie!!
This was so good 😭😭
I was at an author's signing a while ago and one of the authors was like, "Yeah, my UK cover got hit with the YA snake." 😂
HAHA i can feel the author giving up
12 minutes of Cindy flexing her artistic skills for all of us to see. I'm all for it
11 minutes of flex, 1 minute of skillshare sugar daddy
You should do redesigns the Defy the Stars and Defy the Worlds cover
ur right, theyre so fucking ugly LMAO
I second this!
Yes pls!
@@withcindy reminding u to make this happen 😍
Cindy: this is basically chicken scratch
Also Cindy: here I'm using a picture of a concrete wall for texture
Love the contrast lol, I'm in love with the first design 😍 please make this a series!
i cant draw to save my life but i can certainly.... grab images and put them together in an aesthetically pleasing way
@@withcindy and that is how you hack your way through life 🤙
Hey Cindy! I just wanted to let you know: I've been a professional artist for years, I have a degree in the shit, and all the little layout drawings you did are exactly how every design starts even if you're a skilled artist. It's thumbnailing and you did a great job. That's all. Have fun. Or don't. Up to you.
haha thats awesome to know! because all my sketches are basically thumbnails
tell me Cindy, what's it like to have skills?
(These are great. The second one especially)
idk leah YOU tell ME
LOVED this video... you should do more like this!
thanks carah!!
"i'm not capable of thinking and speaking at the same time" listen. same
that requires too many brain cells
These are both freaking awesome, but the simple-but-stark design of the black one is endlessly-eye catching. I would love to see this as a series, your design skills are wonderful!
everytime i think cindy is giving me everything i could want in a youtube channel then i got hit with a graphic design video??? im slayed. im a graphic design major atm and actually working towards becoming a book cover designer and you're already doing 10/10 more than me. i STANNNNNN. Also that last cover, so satisfying !
thats awesome! good luck with your design endeavors. lately i have been thinking about what kind of design i'd rather be doing too and while i dont think i could do book cover designs, i'd love to do PR for books and be in charge of marketing & campaigns to make them the same quality as other innovative film campaigns. i wish there was more of a budget for that!
@@withcindy i completely agree with you! i think it would be really awesome to see more of that in the future and honestly when people like you (who are very creative and have awesome ideas) set their sights on things like that it makes me very happy and hopeful to see it go in that direction of PR! i also wish you the best of luck in your design endeavors and dreams ♥♥
"i'm not capable of thinking and speaking at the same time" yeah, same
but honestly!! your videos are the best mix of funny + interesting
so uh. thank you lol
thinking and speaking at the same time?? that requires too many brain cells
omggggg i want that collector's edition 😭😭
glad u love it!! ❤️
Can someone hire Cindy to do a book cover for real??? I mean I would buy the book for the aesthetics alone
thank you!!
I really really REALLY love watching you design something book-related, it’s so interesting to see your thought process behind it and how you do it!! You’re so creative and talented I’m shook and also big fan of your current editing style because I always find voice overs to be Kinda boring so I really appreciate it that you filmed yourself while talking and I could see your expression while you talked over what you did 10/10
thank you!! im glad you enjoyed this video feyza ♥
If my lazy ass ever actually finishes my book, imma hit Cindy up, cause these covers are 🔥
thank you 🔥🔥
We stan sacrifices and darkness 🙂
*when cindy creates the better book cover in a day
that's what i'm here for
life goal: to have my book be redesigned by cindy.
life goal: to design emmy's book
I LOVE the black cover it fits Leigh's aesthetic so well
thank you! i think it suits her as well!
This is a great way to incorporate ART and reading! Two of my favorite things! I might stael your idea and do something like this on my channel. Love your work, thumbs up.
you totally should! thanks nina!
PLEASE make more videos like this because I live for your redesigns omg
maybe ill do more redesigns for new releases!
"so it looks less like a period blot" No, embrace period aesthetic.
ur right 🔥
When I publish my first book, I'm coming straight to you for cover design
You’re proper talented! The second design highkey bangs more than the actual cover design for ninth house loooool. Leigh should deffo hit you up tbh- it can be the cover for a special edition or something.
that would be amazing!
Wow, honestly, your designs are so much better than the original. If possible, please do more of this.
GOD!! I fall in love with ur redesigns, especially the white with snake one. I wish it's the real cover, I would buy it🤣
Why are your covers so much better than the original???????!!!!! I’m in love
haha thank you!! glad u like them
I would buy both, but the white one is my favorite and I hope that in the future the cover is updated to it.
Yass it looks soooo cool omg I'd buy it if I could 😍
thanks nora
I prefer the second black cover. It immediately brings out a mysterious dark vibe to me. This cover will draw my attention right away when I walk into a bookstore.
"Like your local secret society would want" LMAO. P.s. I like the black one better.
secret societies never use electricity. theyre like the amish 🕯️
@@withcindy They wouldn't be a secret if they did.
"You can't have a secret meeting with your cult without candles" Can someone make this into a t-shirt??
Your chicken scratch looks AMAZING compared to my stick-looking mistakes!! Also, I'm starting a petition for you to start designing covers for YA BOOKS!!! Favourite I think is definitely the first one! What can I say? The YA snake deserves ALL THE LOVE!! LET HER ENJOY HER DAY IN THE MANY SUNS!!!
these are beautiful! i like both of these better than the original, but the "collector's edition" vibe you've got going on is beyond gorgeous.
thanks so much jocelyn!!
that second design is......unbelievably good cindy. you really didn't need to go THAT hard but thank you for doing so.
glad u think so
I'd love more videos like this. It was very calming to watch and interesting too. I like how you designed these and to hear your thought process behind the designs 🤗
Good job! They turned out great.
thank you! im glad you enjoyed 🐍
the talent, the skill, the flavour. I really love that second one and that first one lowkey looks like a V.E. Schwab cover with that colour scheme
ur right, that one can be the love child between leigh bardugo and VE schwab
that second one was so damn good?!?! Fam they need to hire you to do some of these covers, because you KNOW what we all want!!!
i would totally be down for that ♥
It was fun watching you do books covers!
You should try on books covers you don’t like and redesign them.
Really enjoyed it.
like... these covers are just too good, i love them?? i saw some ppl say the first one should be on the jacket and the second printed on the "cardboard" of the book and i fully agree, i shouldnt have to choose bc they're both gorgeous and represent what i assume the theme of this book is so well!!!
you did amazing!
thank you so much hana!
I wish I were artistic like u lol. I may have to use skillshare again to teach my dumbass some things...
skillshare is here to teach all our dumbasses
Knowing absolutely nothing about the book, your versions are literally chefs kiss. I can’t even chose a favourite but I’d be happy to swap any of yours with the original cover. You’re so talented!
thank you so much!
we stan a creative queen (both turned out great but i LOVE the black one!!!)
once u go black u can never go back
I know I’m late to this, but I’m loving the creative juices that flow from Cindy’s monthly katchup (see what I did there?). It’s structured yet random...how is that even possible? 🐬
The second rendition its my favourite, I like it more that the original 💙
thank you eliana! ♡
"It looks like I gave up" is really just a summary of me doing anything
I’m obsessed with your redesigns!! 😍
thank you chelsey!!
I was way more into your reviews but just started watching some of your design videos. Wow!! I can see why you’re so successful in your designing and why you read those types of books too. You’re so talented!! Xx
Thank you so much!
readwithcindy OHHHHHH MA GOSH YO REPLIED!😭😌😱🥰 love yo girrrrrrl!! Xoxo
I would want to watch a whole series of cindy doing this. Her talent in creativity is really showing
Those are very cool and different designs! It would be interesting to see how you would redesign the cover now that you have already read the book 👀 or even trying to redesign covers of your favorite books!
omg I love the first one so much I would pay so much for that cover
aw thank you alexandra!
I’m in LOVE with your designs!!! I think I prefer the first one because of all the floral details, but the second one is rlly good too! It definitely gives me “collector’s edition” vibes ✨
That first rendition is amazing, I love it
I’d LOVE to see another video of you redesigning book covers
you should make more of these videos! i would buy both of your designs they are SO pretty
This is really awesome! I love the white cover so much! Its got me thinking if I ever write a book I would want to hire you. I love all your videos so much!
I can not choose which one I like the most! They are both beautiful and I would buy the book with both covers haha! Well done 💕
I love theseee!
I can't choose the first is so elegant and obviously beautiful, the second is more true to the feel and feels intriguing in an ominous way. You're amazing!
maybe the first can be a japan or UK edition hehe
one of my favorite things is imagining the book cover I would have for my own book so I would LOOOVE more vids like this if you're ever up for it. The ones you did here are like two of my favorite styles of covers. I think I would be more attracted by the first cover just because I love plants and the style of them reminds me of woodblock prints, and I love that aesthetic
thank you! how do u imagine ur book cover would look like?
@@withcindy it's about like witches and demons and magic, and I have a lot of plant symbolism so probably something illustrated with important plants from the story in the foreground (mulberries, pine, etc.) and something magical/spooky in the middle (maybe main character's demon hand or eye)! Like dark forest fantasy vibes~ I could talk about it forever lol so thanks for asking!
more notes lmao the closeup on a part of the MC would be relevant bc the focus of the story is meant to be on his internal journey to find security and a place of belonging; related to that, the font would be something simple and perhaps a tad ambiguous, not a statement font (is that a thing) both to balance the complexity of the illustration as well as to mirror in a way the unsureness and relative blankness of his concept of identity. Also he's basically nonbinary so it fits for that too. Also areas of darkness in the background to signify both the literal spooky forest he travels to as well as the uknown parts of his self he must discover...god I love my boi
watching this late in the game but your designs are so wonderful!!! i hope you eventually do another one of these (or the websites one!) because they're super fun and entertaining :D
I liked the black one 😍
You should really think of working as a book cover designer as a side job!!!
Think about it.
I love the black cover. It’s so simple and pretty and I would buy that cover.
thank you okalani!
more design videos _PLEASE_
also picking between two things gives me literal anxiety so im just gonna say i LOVE BOTH.
thank you
The black one should totally be the collector's edition cover it's BEAUTIFUL
thank you!! 💀💀💀
I love both of these but the black cover is gorgeous!
I love that idea for black back cover ... Your mind ... I HAVE TO STAN EVEN HARDER
thank you emma!!
I liked the second design best! Also yeah I agree there’s something rlly nice about the collectors editions u mentioned that are simple but still elegant
yes definitely!!
My GOODNEES these covers are BANGING. UGH your MIND!! Im in love with both of them, honestly. I really want to implement these techniques in my own covers. Ive been holding back from my true potential.
Your version of Ninth House looks so much cooler than the actual.
My fav is the white one.
imagine being this talented! i like the black cover better tho but the white and red one is dope too
This is such a good concept! I think you should do this again in the future cause it was really fun listening to you talk about the design aspect.
glad u enjoyed! i def would be open to doing another redesign
wow I love this idea, can this be ongoing series please ma'am
maybe ill do this with more popular books coming out!
I love these cover redesigns!! And as always your commentary is on point
thank you!!
Yo! It looks so cool!!
thanks chana!
The black and white cover gives off a kind of "Death Note" vibe with the colours and imagery so that's cool
CINDY YOU'RE SO FREAKING TALENTED OH MY GOD.
also lmao the screen captures sent me back to illustrator graphic design school hell
haha thank you so much!!
Dang girl... Just like when you did the Six of Crows web site re-design. Awe inspiring!
hehe thank u
the words that come out from your mouth are art
I can't pick a favorite! I like the idea you had of the white being the regular cover and the black being the collector's edition. :) Leigh Bardugo should totally sponsor you lol
yes she should!! maybe one day lmao
I like both of the covers you made! I agree that the black one looks more like a collector's edition though.
I need the first cover to be a thing. Honestly better than the actual book cover...
I find your videos so entertaining. Thank you
thank you so much daniela! ♥
Omg I just saw that you hit 50 thousand subscribers!!! I was here before 500 hundred this is so crazy, I'm so happy for you❤️❤️ congrats
wow thank you for being here from the beginning!! ❤️
I loveeeee the second one. This was so fun to watch because I lack this type of creativity.
not true! everyone can be creative ♡
ur MIND IS SO POWERFUL!!!! THIS SHIT IS SO COOL, I LOVE THE BLACK COVER
THANKS EMILY
Man I would get both of these. They were beautiful. Partial to second one slightly cause I LOVED the back but both were amazing
thank you! im partial to the 2nd one as well
i really like you design videos! please continue them!
