Work Text:

I've been making fake book covers for some of my favorite stories, and I really enjoyed reading this fic and it's one of my favorites from Yuletide 2020. This is the first one I've done more than simply photoshop for, in part because there aren't that many good stills floating around on the internet. I based the layout roughly on a vintage 1930s issue of Cosmopolitan. This only a partial illustration in that I started with a photobash using a behind the scenes photo of Robert Redford in costume and a screencap of Henry looking down and then painted over the both of them, changing a few small things on Johnny (opening his eyes and having him look in another direction), and repainting Henry's portrait entirely, but leaving his coat pretty much the same. You can watch the process video for it on my twitter if you're interested.

Cover art for Rest Cure by Dorinda in the style of a vintage 1930s magazine. The background is a pale mint green, and painted portraits of Henry and Johnny are in the middle, overlapping cut at their coat lapels so they form a rough heart. Text across the top reads Dorinda's Rest Cure in retro fonts, and a small subscript of Yuletide 2020 in script. On the bottom left mimicking what promotes a magazine interior is the wordcount, rating, and the yuletide gifted. On the bottom right where the price would be is AO3 in an orange circle, and some of the tags. Across the bottom a strip of text advertises Introducing Johnny Hooker's New Hobby, a line referencing the start of the story.
