Swishy Swishy!! Jam, The Salmon Fishy

Cover Designer: Chris Friend and Sundae

Comments about cover design
We wanted to create something lively and vibrant so it would pop for children and get the attention of adults. We also knew that our main magical character, Jam, would have to be on the cover. We love the colors and how fun it turned out. Chris gave me the initial designs and I added more illustrations on top of his designs as well as color and over all layout. I did the kindle cover layout myself and this is a first.

    I LOVE this cover! Great characters and I can’t tell if Jam has a twinkle in his eye or a lil devil. But I’m intrigued!!!

    This is an excellent cover. Space is used well, you have a bright, dominant image, and everything is very easy to see. The vivid colors likely appeal well to your target audience. Good job!

    Love the cover art! It’s so vibrant & catchy. My nephew (age 7) liked the cover so much, he said he wants to know where Jam lives so he can go swimming with him!!! He was hooked from the cover.
    Thanks for compelling artwork & a wonderful book on the inside as well!

    Little kids are sometimes finicky eaters so if you can give them a positive imagine about food they may go along with it and eat it all up. I think this covers does that job nicely with regards to fish and salmon in particular. Everybody should to eat omega 3’s as our bodies do not produce this needed fatty acid and if you got finicky eaters at home just give them this book and who knows maybe Jams beautiful colors will get them to pick that fork up!

    The fish are realistically rendered, save for a cheeky cartoon tongue that makes Jam stand out as playful and winningly whimsical. The bright broad strokes of color scream “FUN” and who wouldn’t want to join Jam in his swim in the brisk streams of that verdant evergreen forest?
    It’s fun, it’s cute, it’s a great cover!

    The cover catches your eye immediately. The great contrasting colors of the salmon have great visual appeal. The best part of the cover for me is the fact the fish (Jam) has a fun, quirky personality that is conveyed through the facial expression. Immediately, I want to know more about Jam after seeing the cover. Good job with capturing an emotional and vibe!

    Wow! Love this book. Such a fun read. I’d heard “fish stories” growing up but this one is so refreshingly new and enjoyable. And the cover says it all. Vibrant! Fun! Colorful! The art has a truly authentic feel. Like I could reach out and touch the textures.

    I’m attracted to this cover because of all the movement and texture it displays. The use of contrasting colors virtually have Jam popping off the page. This illustration creates intrigue, inviting you to open the pages and explore the world through the eyes of an enthusiastic salmon. With thousands of titles out there, te smart use of an orange fish against the blue waters is eye catching. The text is equally handled well, looking like an exclamation. You instantly know there is something special about this fish and it’s intriguing to a reader. The illustrator really “krilled” it.

    The cover is as colourful and exciting as the book itself. Great book for children of all ages! There are “Fish Stories” and then there’s a tail of an adventure with JAM! Jump right in and you won’t be sorry!!

    This is my cover choice!! As a grandmother of 2 with a 3rd on the way, I’m always hunting for that special book that will immediately engage the naturally, creative child. This cover is so much fun and very comimitted.– no washy washy in Spilsh Spash. This cover makes you want to dive inside and take the journey, and , by the way, it doesn’t let you down.

    I love this cover! I think the bright colors just grab you and make you want to stop and look at every aspect of the cover. I love the tongue hanging out of the fish – nice touch! So whimsical and fun. There is also a lot of movement in the cover that makes it dynamic.

    I want to jump right into the water to splash and play. That warm, blue sky and Swishy Swishy Jam with his smile saying, “Come on in, the water’s great!” The artists really created a sense of playfulness with the expressions, colors and energy.
