Let me start off by saying that I know there's already a thread on the Activating Evolution book from Heroes, but that thread is about the book being created by Gundrosen based on the first book you see in Heroes (with the different actor playing Suresh) and is his work (and seems to be on hiatus for the moment). 
As I'm rather impatient sometimes I thought I'd have a go at it myself. :lol
To start off, I wanted to try to get the size of the book as accurate as possible, but I can't find any info on length, breadth width, etc. So checking out the screencaps on the Heroes wiki, I looked through my books to try to find something as close as possible. I'm going for "The X Files Book of the Unexplained" size because I think it looks about right:
Height and breadth of the book look fine, but the thickness is possibly a little off (not enough pages). The thickness looks much closer in real life though then in these photos. If anyone has any ideas about exact size, please let me know.
OK, so working to this size (19.5cm x 25cm x 3cm) I've done up the first mock on Photoshop (scaled down versions posted here though).
First picture shows (three different) screen caps blown up and transformed to fit the correct size. The second picture is my version. And the 3rd picture is my version layered over the top of the screen cap blow up so you can see the layout and spacing is very close.
Couple of things need work on:
1) The font is not an exact match - I need Garage Gothic Regular, but can't find it without having to pay.
2) Not sure about the colour of the spine text - should it be light blue or white? Need to go watch Heroes again.....
3) Could really use better pictures of the helix for the front cover and Suresh for the back - the only online pics I've found are really small and they lose most of their detail being blown up.
4) Need to figure out what the blurb on the back of the book says.
So, thoughts, opinions, help?
