These covers look MUCH better than the first versions. I particularly like the black-thread-on-white-fabric design on the second disk. It really stands out and it just looks awesome.<br /><br />Making the two disks in opposite colors is such a fabulous idea, too. I haven't actually watched any of the material yet, I've just been admiring the outsides. :)Lisa Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774657233218643385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-86150369746254681342010-02-16T12:24:53.503-05:002010-02-16T12:24:53.503-05:00I like the cover. you can see the quilting really ...I like the cover. you can see the quilting really well and I think that is what you want. <br /><br />Happy sewing!Zlatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715393711678667957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-91876226311316863502010-02-16T09:28:22.239-05:002010-02-16T09:28:22.239-05:00The cover graphic is beautiful, but the text is ha...The cover graphic is beautiful, but the text is hard to discern. I don't think increasing the contrast on the graphic (white instead of grey) would help that. And while I agree with everyone that the content is the important part, as a technical writing/marketing adviser, I know that people who do not know anything about you or your meticulous effort will purchase by looking at the cover. Make the contents evident (and yourself happier in the process).Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814686277323297882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-45790969395593292052010-02-12T12:41:44.230-05:002010-02-12T12:41:44.230-05:00Leah,

Black title on black pattern... not so readable. It also may let you down in terms of the fantastic content that is inside. I think you deserve a cover that has a bit more wow factor. If you don't want to go with colour printing I think you could still do something that lets the title speak a bit better. Perhaps someone who is a graphic designer will offer to help you here.Metanoiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585001609565808750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-80098908594192284032010-02-12T03:35:23.540-05:002010-02-12T03:35:23.540-05:00Be Happy with what you do - if you're not you&...Be Happy with what you do - if you're not you'll regret it later.
