 This is my eldest son, who was at home for the summer holidays from uni. He is a great model and didn't complain (too much) to the make up I put on him to accentuate his eyes, cheeks and lips - a hoodie, a bit of attitude and a whole lot of fun is all it took to get that look. Initially I thought of using a barcode, but felt it was limiting in terms of texture direction, so I tried a QR code , which looked interesting. I am an Extended Editing novice, so I am especially pleased that the image was well received. Huge thanks to everyone who commented and for your votes!

Congratulations. What an ingenious idea! Wonder if that would work with the cubist challenge?

A very convincing cover for a novel. I can see this on the high school reading list. Top few.
