hey all!

so i added a entry... is it evident that it is back & front combined?

my other question is does the self portrait with "just for fun" small print work for this challenge or should i nix the portrait and little black box of print?

btw, yes the small print reads 1,000,000,000........

if im going to dream i like to make it interesting.:D

    Another great photo, Aaron. bowdown.gif

    As for the black insert, I like the photo of the author but can't read any of the text even when I look at the picture XL. Also, I'm not crazy about the text layout - the spacing looks too regular - if that makes any sense. Maybe it's my old eyes, but I think you should either drop the text or make it legible.

    I'm assuming that the number refers to sales? Why not dream big??

    Great photo! bowdown.gif

    As a book jacket the layout is great but for the challenge, the text in the inset is too difficult to read. You may want to rethink that. I'd ditch the shadow in the book title text. It competes too much with the photo itself.

    Would you take 1,000,000???? yes I know its just shy 3 zeros but can't hurt to ask mwink.gif

    btw Yes I can tel its a Front and back cover and I was able to read the text with a great big smile too.

    I'm glad to see you still finding time to participate.

    Awesome cover shot! I like the wrap-around, and the author photo on the back is great on both - I even like the graphics with the text box, even if I can't read it. Can't decide if I like the title font better on the first or second, but either way it's an excellent entry. Great job as usual! thumb.gif
