We’re chatting about covers on Chapter Break. ‘Cause you know we all judge books by covers, whether we admit it or not. We judge the style, the color and font choices, and just the overall look. That might not keep us from reading the book, but we do still judge.
This is so cringe. I said it. What were they thinking?
Look purple is my favorite color but this explosion of light needs to come with a warning label.
Further, there is way too much going on. Weird half nekkid dude, ok usually a given. Why does he have ram horns, and why are they so poorly edited onto his head that is half chopped off?
Why is he wearing fur, holding some futuristic gun or sword looking thing, but has a leather strap over him hiding what? It doesn’t match with his cowboy look.
It’s not all bad. I do like the font. The bold strong letters, the silver gradient and gentle glow. That was nicely done. But the font is futuristic, and the image is rustic.
There is a lot to unpack in this cover!
I like the purple scheme – feels very space background-y
I’m supposed to assume the dude with horns is an alien? And honestly, I think it’s weird that the cover cuts off his head above the nose. I keep trying to scroll up to see the rest of the model’s head.
I also like the font – though wouldn’t it be hilarious if they dotted the ‘i’ with his navel? What other purpose would all that bare skin have if not to be integrated into the title!
Overall, I’m not going to read this book. But the cover did it’s job by getting our attention!
What are your thoughts on this cover?
