I agree with most of the above re the oval, the pink etc. The girl looks like she's just got out of bed and doesn't have anything to worry about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122270279975818113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-78630423527821379092012-02-29T06:16:46.253-08:002012-02-29T06:16:46.253-08:00The text bubble says chick lit, the photo doesn...The text bubble says chick lit, the photo doesn't. I"m not seeing thriller in any part of this.

But your feedback is very much appreciated.<br /><br />I'm of the mindset that a cover should grab the (potential) reader's eye, enticing them to read the blurb (back cover). And if the blurb does it's job it's off to the check out line.Tony McFaddenhttp://www.tonymcfadden.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-71609322101012127442012-02-22T19:15:07.269-08:002012-02-22T19:15:07.269-08:00I can't tell the genre. I like her face, but I...I can't tell the genre. I like her face, but I don't like the shawl and her arms folded; in thumbnail it's kind of difficult to see what's going on there, and it looks like she has ginormous low-hanging boobs.<br /><br />I really do not care for the oval, the color, or the typefaces on the title. The oval looks like a thought bubble and the pink is just too pink (and very flat, compared to the nuanced detail of the photo). The typefaces looks very carefree, yet she looks worried. It just doesn't mesh.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745547538571404846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-58058357927835757812012-02-22T17:17:55.777-08:002012-02-22T17:17:55.777-08:00I can't tell what genre this is either.

It might be romance, but I'm not getting that strong of a feeling from it.<br /><br />I also don't have a strong feeling towards the colors of the title oval and letters. They are a little to pastel together. Either the letters or the oval needs to be stronger.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882910901554365995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-90411682003881966342012-02-22T11:04:22.810-08:002012-02-22T11:04:22.810-08:00I'm getting an Eat.
