Substitution



Yesterday I showed you two cover designs
and asked you to choose which you liked.

I had started from scratch and redesigned
the cover because I didn't like
the graphic designer's proposal.

But in order to use the image I chose,
I had to re-title the book.

A couple of you left comments (or emailed me)
asking why I didn't use my own photos.

And a dear friend objected to changing
the REAL title to match the image I'd chosen.

SO. . . . back to the drawing board.

What about this instead?



and just to muck up the waters,
I've done a second design using another cover photo.





Feedback, please. . .

Thanks Sue and Vintage Green -- I do think it's more vibrant and expressive.

Not sure depends what you want to put across:

#1 seems to be bold, daring confident whilst intriguing.

#2 blue would suggest a cooler, questioning individual, slightly more vulnerable perhaps? This one seems to stir a little more intrigue, a wondering what it's all about.

i love the first one....all that red....and then the face beckoning you to come on in!!

Definitely the first one. While the second (the blue) is nice, the first one matches the title as well as your personality, it's warm and inviting.

The red one stopped me in my tracks. Could imagine seeing it on a table or shelf and being drawn to open its pages...

(That you use your own photos really, really, really seems fitting, Miss Meri. So glad you are exploring that !)

HI Meri
I read the cover blub of your book and then felt that the red is perfect...it's about heated emotion, life, energy and power...and it's yours...
