Vote for the Best eCover (and Book Title), Win Surprize Gift
Unleash your brain power. Help me create the best eCover for my upcoming PDF report (it’s a viral project I’m working on where I interview 20 pro bloggers and social media specialists) – and spread its message like wildfire.
I can easily charge $49 for this, but I decide to give it away to share the content faster and give contributors massive exposure (buzz and publicity), no opt-in required!
So I’d need your immediate input:
- please vote for the eCover version you like the most.
Here’s version A
And here’s version B
Post your comments below with your choice, and explain why you like the ecover better than the other.
Also, feel free to suggest background image concepts, colors, and maybe a better title?
I’m looking forward to receiving your feedback.
I only accept 100 answers. And the first 10 will get a surprise gift from me, via email, so make sure you include your primary email address.
number2, blue and blue…

I like version b.

Version B is my favourite.
I prefer the deep blue colour at the bottom to the dull grey on version A. The blue colour at the bottom creates harmony to the headline in blue.

Of the two the second (B) is definitely better.
Not sure I like the brain image though. For me it doesn't associate with the headline and text.
I would also drop the "and Companies" bit as it makes it a bit long.

Its about connections between people and not neural connections, rt? So it should show something like connected people. I like Version B

thank you for the tip. yes. you were right. just look at the left sidebar ecover
B. the first one could be taken for a medical book.
I too am not keen on the brain image…. the first one gives the impression of it being a medical book, the second… um… sci-fi.
so franky, not too keen on either. but if you are set on using the image, I prefer B.

I Like Version #2

Codrut,
I like the second version of the graphics. Goodluck

Definitely number 2 simply looks better – I too would remove the smart companies part as well as the word Pro as we all want to be Pro bloggers

Hi Codrut !
I like Version B better. It signifies the brain dump of the experts better. It blends with the font colors and an emphasis on the "101" at the bottom tells the reader exactly what to expect. However, I suggest a better image of the brain….and I agree that the blurb can do without the text in the brackets as pointed out above.

Hey codrut,
For me, version B than A.
Maybe you could adjust either the brain object OR
the sentence of "How Pro Bloggers ….Customers"
become smaller.
AND make sentence shorter.
Others such concepts and color are good.

Hello Codrut, I hope you are doing very well!
I like Version B better for the following reasons:
1. I like the blue background color for the brain – it makes it look electrified, which indicates to me that your PDF report and the information you have in it will stimulate your brain into making those new, authentic "connections."
2. I like the use of the word "Smart" in front of "Companies" – not all companies are utilizing viral marketing and blogging as they should be to get the most out of these methods for their profitability and reputation, so the "smart" ones should be identified.
3. I like the "101" being displayed prominently using the gold disk graphic – people will notice it much faster than Version A.
Good luck in deciding on what eCover to use and good luck in creating and promoting your PDF report – it sounds like it will be a very informative report!
Please take care, keep up the great work, and have a good day!
Sincerely,
Joe Chengery III

I prefer Version B as well. Looks like it's going to be a no-brainer (pun intended)!
It does not look a wishy-washy as Version A.
Like Dave above I don't like the brain image on it. I think it's a bit offputting.
Maybe an image of people connecting with people.
Not sure about the title either but I can't come up with another off the top of my head right now.

I definely don't like the brain image either. In my opinion, it does little, if anything to support the title.
Suggestions for more appropriate images include:

I like the title, subtitle and colors you've used.
I wish you much success with your product!
