This was the first cover (the one I was going to use for my book).
Now, this was the third book cover I sketch and designed in photoshop. The idea was that because the other two were turning out to be a challenge to get the finish I came up with this design as a simple cover. This way if the other two didn't get the finish I would have another design that I knew could get finished.
Using a questionnaire, I got people to comment on the cover and mainly what could be changed is the font matching and maybe adding a motor vehicle front on the cover. In the end, Nick looked at my cover and said that I could do better and that also because it were for my FMP, my last one and showed me a quick design similar to what I want and it did look better.
So going through my photo's I found a better image for my book cover and came up with my newest cover.
This is the fourth and final cover I have designed, I did sketch a design because I did it on the day and because I had planned on sending my book over that week so I needed to start it there and then. I have to admit that this one does look a lot better and am very happy with it.
I also surveyed with both covers and asking people which would they read/pick up to look at and so far three people have marked that they like my new cover.
Cover 1 - newest
Cover 2 - old
