Final Cover Art Poll!

[rowyn]

I have three finalists! You should be able to click to enlarge any of 'em. They're shown in the poll at the thumbnail size used on Amazon.

[Poll #2013914]

This poll is only about the typeface/text style used for the title & author. Please disregard the slight differences in the background (the final text is all going to be slapped on the same background.)

Thanks, everyone!

If I could rate them as a list it would be 1,3,2. With 1 and 3 nearly equal. The huge A in the second one throws the whole thing out of balance to my eye.

Have you tried putting your name in the same typeface as the title? Or at least something related?

[rowyn]

The middle one uses Harrington for both the author name and the title. alinsa did the other two, and I'll let her explain why she didn't want to use the same typeface for title and name. :)

I actually like 1 best... except that the title is too close to the top-blurb text there. Number 3 is the only one that isn't impinging on the top-blurb.

[rowyn]

Yeah, I know what you mean. It looks like #1 is the most popular, so I may have the figures shifted down a bit and make the author & title smaller so the spacing's better.

I'd move the illustration down and your name up, and then the title a little bit down. But don't make them smaller!

[alinsa.livejournal.com]

Something like this?

[haikujaguar.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is better.

[archangelbeth]

Aye, better!

I wonder if some pretty dingbats to either side of the author-name would be nice, or too busy. Hm, hm...

[archadia.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I love the word dingbats!

[archangelbeth]

I think shifting the figures and title down might be sufficient -- I wouldn't shrink the title much, personally. It's a very good size.
