i need help with a book cover...

[~vxn~]

i've made many.  not sure about any.  picked 4 of the main different kinds.  i would like opinions... what's the best, worst, or they all just plain suck.   [smilie=hate-wall.gif] i hate being so indecisive. 

a little background for the book:  poetry collection.  madness.  insanity.  i think i want the cover to look a little "busy".  this is the second book in the "Madness" collection.  (there is a "Dark" collection.  a "Death" or "Unrest" collection will follow a third book in "Madness".)


the more i look at this one, the more i hate it.


hello, mausoleum.


there's someone hiding by the door.

might like this one the best so far...

I like the second one best...don't really know why; maybe just for its dark simplicity.

(I still chuckle every time I read your middle initial and last name together...some things just never get old.)

[smokeykat]

I like the 3rd one because of the red color.  it makes it stand out more.....then my second choice would be the 2nd one.

[Dexter Morgan]

I like the third one. Smokeykat is right.... the red does make it stand outmore.

e, that is the exact reason i use my middle initial.  thank you for still being amused by that.  lolol....

thanks for the input kids...

i think the red text stands out and perhaps the white will just blur into the background.  i'll try a few more variations... (i took a few other mausoliem shots that may work as well...)

Let us know when you get some more, and we'll check'em out and vote on them.  ,

thank you, dex

ok, a couple more.  i might definitely like this cover the best:



not sure which of the following back covers i like more (if either, if at all).  the words in red are the chapter names:



darker chapter names, not mausoleum:

I think I like the last one the best.

the more i look at it, the more i agree.

It looks the coolest of all of them. They're all good, but that one grabs me.

just to make it confusing........

i like the first one.......not sure why, but it has a interesting look to it....it had me looking at the details of it.....

See how you are HH.... now we have to strain our brains, and rethink the first one LOL!!!  I'm gonna have another look at number 1.

Well, I'm gonna stick my 2cents worth in here.  I like the first one better too.  The picture in the middle kind of draws the eyes to it and, IMO, piques the curiosity more as to what's inside the cover.  I personally would pick up the book with that cover on it to check it out before I would the others.
