Dedicated Idiocy: How Monty Python Fandom Changed My Life by Alyce Wilson

Dedicated Idiocy: How Monty Python Fandom Changed My Life

Cover Designer: Alyce Wilson

Comments about cover design
For my memoir about my experiences in a Monty Python appreciation society, I wanted to create a book cover that captured the spirit of Monty Python. What better way to do this than to borrow the same foot from a classical painting that has become synonymous with MPFC? I paired this with a period photo of my group looking silly and used a bright background and a font that imitated the grandiose font used in many Monty Python publications. My husband, a web designer, provided some tips on colors and the overall look. Since the book is Kindle-only, I did not include the subtitle on the cover, which would only have cluttered it up and made it harder to read.

    The cover definitely touches on the feel of Monty Python and its brilliant idiocy! Love it!

    That’s some pretty funny stuff – I look forward to seeing the rest. I immediately started looking for myself in the photo (since I date back to “the day”), but I don’t think I’m visible. Since I hide from cameras, that’s not much of a surprise, really! I got involved after the infamous protest against captive holes, and the epic scaling of the walk up the sidewalk alongside Old Main, anyway. 😉

    A simple cover design, but one where — because of that — the silliness really shines through. A real winner!

    This book appears to be extremely silly and about highly silly people. No doubt the persons involved in making this cover are highly suspect individuals and a threat to prevailing moral order.

    In short, I love it. Carry on, as you were.
