The people are a little cheesy maybe and the yellow and black makes me think of the "For Dummies" books which can be good or bad depending on the persons view of these books. No picture at all makes it look a little "low budget."

I think it works.<br /><br />And, thanks sooo much for the tips on the text. I know it was too wordy, but was focusing on the design, so didn't think about it. Your suggestions are right on the mark. <br /><br />Back to the designing board. :)<Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-37995523875296508602014-01-07T14:26:16.910-05:002014-01-07T14:26:16.910-05:00Juliana, thanks so much for the input.

When I created #3 I really like it, but was told that the red text on black isn't as visible as white on black, so kind of put it on the back burner. <br /><br />It's so difficult to design a cover that everyone will like. I do agree that yellow isn't a power color at all, but it sure it bright. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the food for thought!Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-65227512666789632092014-01-07T14:22:05.807-05:002014-01-07T14:22:05.807-05:00Helen, thanks so much for you input.

While having a people image is usually conversion effective, I just can't seem to find the right one. <br /><br />The "As part of..." is smaller than its connected text, but I'll be revising that text anyway.

While the color on #4 pops out, it also overwhelms the text.

Also, I think the picture with real people resonates more than the 3D stick figure man. Keep in mind that I have no marketing knowledge or experience whatsoever,so this is just my personal opinion.
