Description: On a white background, two trees (solid green triangles on top of solid brown rectangles) of similar height and width with space between them. Beneath the left tree is a dark blue curve to represent a river. At the bottom of the right tree's trunk is a thick orange mark.
Top line of text (blue), above the trees: Tree-related shenanigans
Second line of text (burgundy, left align), under the river: Pine (me a) river
Third line of text (burgundy, right algin): Missing the tree for the forest
Bottom line of text (same blue as the top line of text): written by Liffis read by eafay70
All text is Lucida Calligraphy

Made using Paint (which came with my laptop)
Font is Lucida Calligraphy (which also came with my laptop)
Colors from this FAQ page about the Colorado Avalanche (for whom the main characters play), converted to RBG by the Color Finder on the Pantone website

Notes: I made this cover, realized it didn't clearly match any of the square on my card, and decided to use the Free Space as an excuse to talk about it anyway!

This cover art is for a podfic of a series consisting of two fics, so I started by making two trees in Paint. I aimed for roughly the same height and width, but didn't make them identical because the stories aren't identical.

I put the river under the first tree because of the first story's title. Then I put an orange mark in the trunk of the second tree to represent the key event of the second story: the POV character, who is colorblind, puts on color-correcting glasses and is stunned by the orange color of the other character's hair.

As I often do for Hockey RPF cover art, I used the team's colors for the font colors. Since the top line is the series title, I made it larger than the middle lines, which are the titles of each fic. I used burgundy for the fic titles because I felt it looked better so close to the river.

That should be everything! Please let me know if something needs clarifying. :)

I apparently never used my cheat from April (comment on the resources post), so I'll use it now to replace "archiveofourown.org/works/18215045" with "complemantary colors."
