The first draft of my guide book on male stripping is complete. After some edits, it will be published.

Here was the previous post with the first concept covers:

or

Any suggestions or comments would be welcome.

  1. First, I do like the logo in the second image, it's fun and eye catching,
    The subtitle section is a bit visually busy.

    As for the subtitle itself: I think that shorter is better. I would go with "Dion's Guide to Becoming a Male Stripper"

    The same goes for the collage image; it's just too distracting. A single cover image would be much better.

  2. I like the logo in the second image. I think it is both clear and fun.

    The subtitle section needs a bit of work though, That 's' shape is just to visually busy.

    As for the subtitle itself, I think that shorter is better so use" Dion's Guide to Becoming a Male Stripper"

    And speaking of visually busy, I think the collage is just too much. You are better off going with a single cover image,

  3. Number 3, definitely. Colorful and clearly formatted. One thing to think about though, when you're selling ebooks, you want a cover that looks good at thumbnail size. You might want to englarge the title of the 3rd one a bit. I wouldn't think you particularly need the word "bare bones" in there, either.

  4. Seems like you should clear it with people who's faces are visible

  5. Thanks for the comments everyone. I sent them all to the illustrator. Might tweak a few things, but I think we're going to narrow it down now.

  6. I like the colors of #1 but the title of #3. A "bare bones" guide to me means it is just the minimum, nothing more. Bare bones means cheap to me, not a reference to stripping. I like the way the images are arranged in the first cover. #3 looks like a textbook to me. I would look at other colors for the title text so that it shows up well when reduced to a thumbnail. #2 is good, too, but I would not use gray text because it will hard to see in a thumbnail. Overall, I pick graphics from #1 with title from #3.

    1. Removing "Bare Bones" out. The final product will be a combination of the best traits of #1 and #3.
