THIRD FRONT COVER or BACK COVER
I have an idea using this cover as back cover too. My idea is there is no limit back and front cover. Even though you open the book with this opposite side, it don't matter. so my back cover will looks like the front cover. This picture is about a guy who was kidnepping by someone. I need to know which one will be better as cover, or back cover. Every cover can be both back cover and front cover. Give me advice.

    This one looks really good. I like it the best. It goes nicely with your back cover idea. It's kind of hard to read your artist statement. I would suggest a different font or making it a bit bigger. All in all, great job!

    I really like this first image too. It has a swirly, hazy, kind of maddening effect to it. I agree the artist statement is a little hard to read, maybe because of the size of the image on the blog... but I do really like the image you chose for it.

    I do like the first image for front and the back cover with the bound hands. The cemetery looks zombie-like. I liked this one as well. However the first has better consistency.
    Maybe to make the artist statement more readable you can diminish the background opacity layer.

    I have to disagree with the above statements. I feel that the top image with the circle of text is super busy and has too much graphics. The image works better alone.

    I vote for the image of the door cracked open, as the viewer does not know what is beyond it, looks like a person but maybe not, and the font is a nice choice.

    I also vote that you do not use a statement physically in the book. The book is about NOT Knowing, so don't tell them what to know. You Know?

    The images are getting stronger. Keep it up!

    I like the top cover. I can go both ways with the graphics.. Maybe more opacity on the words?? I like the idea of it being on the front and back.. because you don't know which way to open it!.. AMAZING!

    i like the cover with the person peeking through the door. maybe use the photo with the hands tied back as the back cover. these images work well together. i agree that you should leave out the artist statement to add the the mysterious effect you are going for.

    i really like the new cover with the spiral, also i think you should use ur original back cover minus the statement. that picture for the back alone is sooooo strong and would really get ur title across! keep it up!

    I like the swirly image for the cover and the bound hands as the back cover. The hands one as the back would allow the veiwer to question what they saw in the book after looking at the pictures which is great. Good job on everything!

    I like the third cover the best and I also like font that was used in the second one. I just don’t understand the photo for the second one though. The cemetery definitely conveys a ghostly, scary feeling but having someone bend over to show their backside doesn’t quite do that. A suggestion: take a picture of the cemetery and then take a picture of your hand with fake blood all over it. Then crop your hand into the photo of the cemetery making it look like it is coming out of the ground. Kind of like some sort of zombie is coming out of their grave.

    The image of the circle makes me stir crazy. It might work better without all the commotion in the background; just make it hazy. I am anxious to see more images and your concept of the unknown.

    Keep going!

    I like the idea of being able to open the book from either the front or back! I think my favorite of the covers you have is the one with the man opening the door! I think this one is the strongest! I also agree to not using a statement! I think the viewer should develop his/her own idea about what is going on! I can't wait to see it all come together! Keep up the great work! :D
