COVER A and COVER B:



COVER C and COVER D:



Thoughts? They're not very different.

All depends on what you're writing. I'd go for B as It feels more 'Gothic' and moody. I do like A though as it has a warmer feel, so if you're writing about optimism, perhaps A's a better one to use.

I very much agree with mentalmark on the fact that it depends a lot on the content. .I honestly doubt though that this is filled to the brim with optimism . For some reason B was the least attractive to me, the grey shade is very moody but not an eye-catcher. I'd pick between C and D. A is also pretty good (as a photographer I have always liked the rule of thirds) but the "Eyesore" logo is too small for the place where it's placed at and it gets lost. With a slightly bigger "Eyesore" A should also work perfectly. But this is all just a dry judgement since we don't know what's in there to say which cover fits the most.

i liked cover A the most. who made them, btw?

cover A or cover D

A and D look pretty similar, but I picked A because I like the title being off to the side.

A man. Did you do that? and drop the Kenneth and makes you seem pretensious.....ha

My poetry is dark, I'd say. It's not evil, though, which is why I'm not sure about A and D, which look sort of sickly. But I still like them—all of them, actually. Thus this poll. =)

And leeeeeee, I didn't do the painting, that was done by someone I know online. I change the colors and added layers and the fonts and stuff with Photoshop. I usually do my own covers, but I couldn't come up with anything I liked. I was also torn between naming the book "Eyesore" or "Between Gods." I'm not sure which it'll be yet, but if I name it "Between Gods" I won't use this cover.

And Kenneth Wood sounds better than Ken Wood or Kenny Wood. When I used to act, I went by Kenwood Allen (my first and last combined, then my middle name). I thought about using that name for my books before. Anyway, it's just a name. At least it doesn't have an extra E.

D

I go with D too.

A. But try downsizing the 'Poetry by Kenneth Wood' and placing it under 'Eyesore', perhaps even in the same colour.

Don't align everything in the middle, like in B, C and D. Otherwise you'll have that red horizontal line on the right doing nothing at all, turning it into an afterthought.

Edit: and Leee is right, your name seems a bit silly in that swirly font, I suggest a more reserved font.

I like B. A and D have too much red. What's the meaning with "eyesore", if you don't mind me asking?

That swirly font cost me $20! It's the same font used for the last Anathema album.

dump the Ken or Kenneth, and go for "Allen Wood". uh.

I thought I saw you in a porn video.......ha under "Wood".

Seriously though what do you do? Plays or some shit?

I'm not...uh...properly "equipped" for porn.

And no, I don't do plays. This is just trite, boring poetry; but chicks dig it.

I thought C was the best...the title off to the side looks kind of weird, and I like how C is darker than D.

So...this poll hasn't helped one bit! Kidding. I'll work on it a little more tonight, change some things and post them.

Cover B

Next best is Cover D

Geez. I thought this was something like "Spot the ten differences" or something .
