WHICH BOOK COVER SHOULD I USE?

4/23/2012

Coming soon: my book Dancing in the Fountain: How to Enjoy Living Abroad. The title comes from the story about a blazing hot night when my husband and I were sitting on the edge of a big stone fountain. We began dabbling our feet in the cool water, and the next thing I knew, we were wading then dancing in the fountain. An old man passing by growled, “Hey you two, is that any way to behave? You wouldn’t do that back where you come from.” And that’s my whole point. Living overseas, I feel free to try things I’d never do back home. 

Naturally, my first thought was to shoot the cover photo at the actual fountain. But here's how it looks, with the addition of shoes (chosen by my Facebook and blog friends) to suggest the dancing part:
Picture
Not very colorful or romantic, even if we use PhotoShop to get rid of the cars. (It was much prettier in the moonlight on the night in question.) And it could be anywhere: Seville, Rome, Cleveland.

Then I found this gorgeous tile fountain, put colorful shoes on it, and took dozens of pix like this:
Picture
Love all the color, and it really says Spain, but it also sort of suggests a shoe ad. I keep expecting to see $89.95 printed above the sandals. Then Rich casually grabs the camera, steps up on a chair, and tries one shot.
Picture
And that was by far the best photo of the entire day. It almost gives the sensation you could step into the fountain and start dancing right now. 

So here are four cover options we're considering, with cropped versions of Rich's photo.

1: White lettering
Picture
2. Black lettering
Picture
3. Yellow box
Picture
4. Red bar

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!

Which of these covers do YOU think we should go with? Send me your comments!

I vote #1!! This photo is fantastic! What a perfect shot. It's so funny when those last minute, "let's try this" photos turn out the best. Can't wait to hear what you decide on!

Thanks, I love that one too! I couldn't believe it was one of those casual, off-the-cuff shots!

I like No. 1 but I think that Jill's comments really jump out of the Red Box, so may incorporate that into No. 1. Well done on getting the FINAL copy off!

I like the first cover the most: the white lettering really stands out. The last one would be my second choice. I liked the third cover the least because it seems like the yellow box around the title takes away from the vividness of the yellow in the tiles. Hope this was helpful!

Nr. 2 !!!! (The black letters make it more harmonious than the big white ones..)

My favorite cover- and i know I may be the only one- include the yellow box . I saw it on your fridge and thought it looked fantastic! maybe because it highlights the title but this sunny color makes me want to pick the book up.

I also vote #1. I think the white letters add a nice lightness to the title -- both visually & figuratively.

I like N°1 the best. Against the white lettering the water looks bluer and cooler and very inviting.

I like #1 best too. I think the smaller type is more readable in the black, not the white... It's gorgeous!!!

I, by far, prefer the black lettering. That makes the picture stand out and is not so fussy. The center of this fountain looks impressionist - great choice! Love, Jackie

Great job, a really nice cover. The photo is perfect. #1 works best as a cover since the white type is much more legible, especially when it's reduced to a thumbnail, than the black title. Lovely cover, you might try substituting some different fonts for the title before you go "final."

#2 is my favorite. The subject matter in white stands out more and that is what you are looking for when selecting a book.

I like them all except #3. Really have to choose then in order it would be #1, #2 #4 #3

Good luck with the book, look forward to reading it.

I think the photo is lovely. Well done, Rich!

Having said that, you know how persnickety I am, so here's my two cents...

In my opinion, the subtitle isn't large enough on any of the versions. It's an important element because it lets people know this isn't a novel, so I think it should be larger than your name (sorry!). I'm not a designer, but it seems to me that the subtitle doesn't need to be confined to a single line under the title. Could it "float" in the water, or maybe be placed at an angle along the edge of the fountain?

Otherwise, I like bits and pieces of all the versions. I think the yellow box is worth considering because it makes the title stand out the most, especially at thumbnail size (although I wouldn't put your name in it). And I like #4 because putting the testimonial in the red band just seems tidier to me, and because the red balances the shoes and the flowers. But yellow box + red band probably wouldn't work, so combining the bits I like best surely isn't the answer. (This is why I'm not a designer!)

Whichever version you choose, you might experiment some more with fonts and the placement of your name. You also might consider creating a separate version of the cover for the e-book, omitting the testimonial and make the title and subtitle as large as possible.

But overall, these are all good!

number 2 . When the white lettering is used, your eye tends to focus on the title of the book, but what the book's really about (in black) recedes + obviously vice versa when you switch the colors around. In terms of marketing and to be eye-catching, I think people would buy it more if the part about "How to enjoy living abroad" was in white -- stands out more. otherwise, the white-lettered title appears to be just "otra novela más" (we know it's not!!) Therefore, title in black ("takes a back seat") and what the book's about in white ("the driver"). Congratulations, karen. best wishes to you!

I prefer # 1 by far, but agree with someone's comment that tag line needs to be more obvious/ stand out. Can't wait to get my hands on the e-book! a fan in Barcelona, Elizabeth
