Part of what I really liked about the second cover originally was the font and also where you placed the cover text. The original has an appealing elegance.
The text placement on the current version looks off to me, and with this font the cover generally does not have the same feel to me. Still like my original choice best.
(Wondering what ornamentation would look like around the object's rim, rather than as banner.)
what are the dimensions of this cover?
5.5 x 8.5
Such a fun question. :) (What will you do with the answer? :)
don't really care for this one
You're a good sport to put this out there...nah, the combination doesn't work...I don't know you or your work very well but it seems like those who do (Glynn and Maureen) have given you solid responses on #2 (looks Barkatish or elegant)...that's good feedback...one last thought (I work for a pub house) is just remember that a solid white cover almost disappears in a print catalog or even sometimes on Amazon, so maybe a thin color border to frame it...I'm anxious to read it!
I am with maureen -- I like the appealing elegance.
And I really like what John wrote -- I didn't know that!
I agree with Maureen - I liked the second take in your first selection.
