I could use some feedback on these covers. I plan on replacing my cool retro-men’s adventure cover for the E-book version of Tier Zero…at least temporarily.
Here’s Alternative 1:
And here’s Alternative 2:
I’m having trouble deciding which I like better. Any constructive criticism would be helpful. Shouldthe font be more like it is in the other books of the series? Do you think the overall tint should be tweaked to the muddy, muted colors of the other books? (I know the weapons and gear don’t reflect exactly what’s in the story–this is more an attempt at a striking image that connotes, thematically, the content in a general sense.)
Go with the second. Overall better layout and more tension. There’s a definite sense of something happening or about to happen “offscreen” in the second. The first is a whole lot of some guy with a gear-queered boomstick walking through a swamp….
I like the art better in the bottom cover. The font and the placement of name/title should match throughout the series. The color should ideally match, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
I like the second one better. Higher level of tension
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to look and reply. It’s helpful and I appreciate it.
I think the bottom one is better. The title and author’s name pop. On the top one the author’s meme blends into the cover.
I have a complicated bond with my parents. My mother, I”m so close to and I”ll honestly be lost without her. She”s my rock, my person, and I always (even now, at 22) go to her for advice (I just asked for dating advice yesterday and she helped me calm down from an anxiety attack, since I”m so anti-social and awkward and was stressing about what-ifs”) She keeps me grounded and we argue sometimes, but we never can be mad at each other for long. My dadmy dad and I have a complicated relationship. We argue like cats and dogs. His words are hurtful a lot of the times, and he doesn”t have patience, but I know I”m not perfect either and I know I hurt his feelings as well. Sometimes, we”d go days without talking, but others we hug every time we pass each other in the house. It”s complicated, it hurts, but at the end of the day, he”s my daddy and I love him, even if he doesn”t always think I do. I”m blessed. I have two great parents who love me. It”s not always easy, and we all make mistakes in our relationships, but at the end of the day, they”re always there for me and will always be there to help me up when I fall apart, as I”ll always be there for them if they need me. Thanks for the chance C.C! Can”t wait to get the book and I”m so excited for you!!
