Contemporary Clinical Dental Technique

I really like your idea, but the execution makes it look too fake - it all looks too "photoshopped"...... a bit more photoshopping could have fixed that.

Just to mention one example - the text on the spine. It isn't quite in the right position (too far up), and it is way too bright. Being on the side of the book that is very much away from the light, the font, too, needs to be darker/duller.

But I do like your choice of a "carelessly" arranged pile of books.

I am one of your 10s. My only quibble is that I detest random capital letters (mostly the "When" and "Dead"). But the rest is just wicked and superb, as we'd all expect from you.

I am one of your tens. This is elegant, and I would soooo love to find out those three reasons. Awesome choices of image treatment, font and text.

Awesome. My only quibble is that there are too many different fonts. Mostly graphic (vs photo), but great job!!! 10

I am one of your 10s. I wish I could offer something deep and meaningful to say, but I simply love this. All of it. As is.

Murder in the War Memorial

There is a lot that I like about this cover:
The title (mostly the way it looks). The rest of the text (i.e. WHAT you chose to write). The font. The placement of the text. The overall colour scheme. The background picture/texture.

What I don't like is the way the image is just sort of plopped there. For once, I would really like to see a border and/or different placement and/or no image at all.

That image just looks so out of place in an otherwise very pleasing book cover design.

The Clan of the Cave Owl

I am a HUGE fan of the "Earth's Children" series, so I really, really wanted to love your book cover.

Sadly, though, I can't. It is very difficult to look at.

I find that the photo itself is harsh (although the owl is a real stunner!), but then having so many different bits and pieces of font, in different colours, none of them standing out properly from the background all just add up to something I can't enjoy viewing.

I love the owl, I like the composition. Your choices of text (i.e. the words you used) were rather good - maybe with some different processing and a lot of font-tweaking this could turn into a great cover.

TRASH
by MadMan2k

Comment:
I doubt I'd even give this book a second glance. The topic is obviously pretty grim. It has a single short word on it - TRASH - and that word just sort of sits there (e.g. boring, flat font, nothing else). The image is a little dark, dull and certainly depressive. You are offering me nothing at all to pique my interest.

I bet if this was a book, it may very well be a highly informative or even important one, but I'm afraid you lost me as your reader.

Brave choice, and a pat on the back for that.

Having multiple language/spelling mistakes in so very few words and on the COVER of a book is something I can't forgive. I'd never buy that book, sorry.

It is a pity, though, because I like your idea. I like the simplicity of it ( a lot). I could really imagine this as a book cover - minus the mistakes and minus the dust bunnies.
