No prizes for guessing which colours Rik went for when cobbling together the Tome's cover last year. Would you buy this book?
Version 1
So anyway, I thought it would do no harm to try again. This time I've decided to go for something a little more colourful ...
Version 2
The question is: would either of you be more willing to buy the book if it came tucked inside that second cover?
EDIT #1 - following comments received in other venues.
The new cover is too "wishy-washy". So I've tried again using a darker, more jungly background. Does this work any better?
Version 3
EDIT #2 - after further feedback ... a revised new alternate version:
Version 4
... and just because I'm getting bored with the business of it all, a simpler revised new alternate version:
Version 5
Edit #3 - a new day, a new version:
Version 6
I like the third one best, Rik. This is my very unprofessional opinion. I was fortunate enought to have a very talented friend offer to work on my cover for me. I couldn't even come up with what you have - they all look great to me.
ReplyDeleteJennifer - many thanks for taking the time to have a peek. Unprofessional opinions are perfectly good. The question is: which cover would most tempt you to pick up the book?
ReplyDeleteNow I'm torn between the fourth and fifth - but I know you want the jungle.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very personal decision to make. I've also been through a million versions of my cover . . . I'm hoping the next draft is "the one".
I love the third one, absolutely love it. I rather like the second one as well but if I had to choose to save you pulling out my toe nails with a pair of pliers I would say number three - Well done though they are great
