Can I comment on this? (... no you can't! ... ok, thanks...)

I like how you used that scribble with the 'designer' analogy. I like the big "DESIGNER" type, but somehow I don't see that sans serif (Arial?) working underneath it. I would've tried a different font (...and I'm supposed to suggest a few fonts here...?). Based on the cool and pale colors you used (and the flower scene) I assume you have a quiet life as a designer. At least that's what the cover suggest to me. (I'm not saying whether it's good or bad, I'm just simply stating what does this suggest TO ME.)

Is it OK to manipulate a stock photo?

[jojomarie]

kpeatt I like it! Works very well!

The top half seems to be lacking something but the rest is superb

virgoletta: Very professional. Although I dont know what is in the top right corner? Anyways, its great, I think the orange complements the greys very well.

Your design has a very soft, calm style to it, elegant. I noticed one thing, with the text under the title, it looks almost like it is slanted, an optical illusion. Maybe if you moved it down just a tad, jojomarie

[jojomarie]

Virgolette, your design is certainly interesting, it is almost mesmorizing. I found myself just staring at it, with all the detail. I really like it, great job!

kpeatt- nice colors, certainly an attention grabber!

I love how everyone has their own uniques styles, hope to see more jojomarie

WOW virgoletta . i love how u used type as Image for your cover book

[pentool]

kpeatt, I like your font choices! Can you tell me what font U used for the "my life as a designer" text?

[the architect]

Ya, I'd like to know both the fonts you used on that one. They work awesome together, and your colour choices are just as good.

Virgoletta (hope I spelled it right),
I absolutely love your idea. I'm not a fan of the thing in the top right, but the type scene and background are fabulous. Again, great colour selection. I always thought orange and grey look great together.

[virgoletta]

Thank you guys for your feedback. Actually about the top right corner (the publisher) I could work better anyway...

[krypt]
