Seeing all the layouts together, and scrolling up and down between images has given me a clear idea of what I want to show on The Priest’s cover. Although the last two models were clearly attractive, judging from the comments I received, I disliked the Jacob-looking one, and I thought that the other one was too beautiful. Mauricio is raggedly handsome; he is definitely not a pretty boy.
So I decided to go back to the first Mauricio, and combine two different layouts.
Working on the final cover (hopefully!)
Amazon is killing me. They didn’t do a clear job at explaining what they require regarding the cover’s format. So, Sandro played around with the numbers we found, which clearly don’t make sense, as you can see from the examples below. Anyway, I asked him to try something at 960×1280 at 72 dpi, and let’s see what happens to the cover. For now, what do you think?
First batch
Second batch
Monica La Porta 
definitely the best shot so far!
thanks, Mario!
Io direi il primo – e piu` pulito. Il titolo, il nome si leggono meglio e l’attenzione rimane sul personaggio. Il secondo batch e troppo “grezzo” – non saprei dire, ma ha qualcosa che distrae. Comunque ottima scelta.
Anna, sembra che sia il consenso generale. Io avevo gia’ scritto a Sandro dicendo piu’ o meno le stesse cose.
Che bello, anzi bellissimo! Il secondo batch mi piace tantissimo. Il font del tuo nome e’ originale ed ha carattere. Bravissima Monica e bravissimo Sandro!
Grazie, Tiziana 🙂
