Alrightey then. That's a new one.<br /><br />He is very, very greasy. I am not much into guys that look like a greased pig. I realize others feel differently, I just had to get that out there.<br /><br />I agree that the lighting in the background of the bottom part of the cover makes it difficult to see the title (it's also difficult to read the author name). In this case,I don't think the black stroke around the white letters helps much. Maybe a soft, diffuse drop shadow would help. <br /><br />I like the sans-serif type, but somehow "Playing" just isn't quite situated right for me. Don't care for the P just touching the l. It needs to make up its mind; either be big enough to overlay the l or moved left enough so it is not touching. But if the latter, the kerning will not look right. Not sure of the solution, but that would be a part of the cover I'd have to work on if it were mine.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745547538571404846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-49376318582255095642012-03-31T21:09:28.096-07:002012-03-31T21:09:28.096-07:00Great!

It took me too long to figure out what was underneath it. Great first effort, though.msmjb65https://www.blogger.com/profile/07511939554975024019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-61171135108507352412012-03-31T17:38:20.129-07:002012-03-31T17:38:20.129-07:00genre: Romance or maybe erotica

Maybe if it was a bit wider/ticker. The letters are so thin that they are kind of getting lost in the think power lines behind it.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882910901554365995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-70408717628256102602012-03-31T11:55:17.915-07:002012-03-31T11:55:17.915-07:00Yes, fast, sexy and fun.
