Re: Cover Design Contest

Hi Gonso:
I'm going to let you know right now that almost all your cover submissions are too dark for use on a book shelf. Successful covers, which aid in selling books, are covers that catch someone's eye. If the design is too dark, even though it may be a very nice design, it defeats this aspect of the cover.
Best wishes,
Mason

Mason,
The lighter of gonso's reds looks fantastic imo and would catch my eye right after I got annoyed at the neon yellow book next to it. It looks like a professional graphics designer did it, unlike almost all poker books in Borders, and the rich color is part of that effect. It's also not darker than SuperSystem. Plus the title jumps off the background. Plus it just looks awesome.
If you go with it I'll buy dinner to help make up for any sales losses....
