St. Patrick's Day Special by JJ Toner
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.
The white background is flat and doesn't help in anyway. The text is also dull. "Day" is in the wrong location, it either should be centered or flush left with the line above it. And the word special, just is not special. The yellow doesn't work.
It looks like a crime drama or thriller.
ReplyDeleteThis cover does nothing for me.

Yes, crime drama. Very obviously "home done". Typrography is lopsided, drop shadow does not work, the whole thing is a redo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for those helpful comments. Other people have said the font looks like something from kindergarten. What do you guys think?
