All the way NEW. I love the first one, it's so YOU and your painting, but the new one actually tells what the book is about, and I think it will sell it even more than the original cover, it tells the story of your book/your art/your method, visually.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632177878027001035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474396862557029662.post-16925164872458466882010-12-15T12:02:38.199-05:002010-12-15T12:02:38.199-05:00OLD!!

(love your work!) the new cover, the images are stunning & i agree w/others that the brown title block loses interest & doesn't seem to fit the rest of the cover. maybe the light blue grid lines simply continue so that the top left corner is simply the clean blue; change the title font (even to the clean san serif) but "color" the title with your art. instead of centering the title in that block, off set it to create more diagonal movement guiding your eye from left to right.<br /><br />oh, there are so many possibilities! this designer surely had tons of fun creating this one!<br /><br />congrats!<br />julieLife Verse Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497305666993101431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474396862557029662.post-17676864683968420682010-12-14T11:15:29.032-05:002010-12-14T11:15:29.032-05:00They are both awesome covers... the old one really...They are both awesome covers... the old one really says mixed media but the new one also really shows you what the book is about which could grab the attention of people who are not your usual followers.
