Nardi Point by Nancy LaPonzina
What's the genre? What is it you like or don't like about this cover?
Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want
to BUY the book? Discuss.
I like most of the background art on this, but I did not figure out that the bottom left elements were leaves until I magnified it. The author name is really small, and overall the cover is awfully faded looking.
I'd also do something different with the title; perhaps all caps. Plus the kerning is off pretty bad. Sure sign of a non-professional typeface design is bad kerning.
it's anestetically pleasing to the eye but it gives me absolutely no indication of what it's about. i can't even place a genre. and the author name is hard to see.

ReplyDeleteWhile I find the artwork interesting I can't figure out the genre.
ReplyDeleteThe text does need to be stronger and much easier to read. The author's name is very hard to read.
