Hello Readers,
My name is Eddie Joo and I am the co-author as well as the person behind the cover art for this OER.
The reason I chose the specific elements on the cover are relatively simple.
- I dislike the textbooks that just slap random images or things related to the subject and make the cover look really busy.
- I don’t know about you, but any poster or ad that has something to do with Alaska usually includes mountains so I chose the ocean/water instead.
- Same reason with the animals as the Bear, Wolf, etc. are the go to animals when portraying Alaska so a Dall Sheep, Orca, and an Owl grace the cover.
- Last but most important to me is the sunrise/sunset gradient. I love seeing both in the winter and is special to me so I added it in as a little Easter egg for me.
I hope you enjoy this book!
Regards,
Eddie
