    Would you use a blue background instead of the brown? Maybe a Navy? This comment was ment for Technoguy with the brown cover.

    This is very close. I just don't like the kitchen. It seems fake. I'm looking for a kitchen that is gorgeous, warm, inviting, looks real. Also, the border across the bottom kind of boxes the model in. Can you do something diff. with the authors name on the bottom? I like the top one where the "on" stands out more then the ice. With the second cover with white title lettering it almost looks like it says "rice" something.

    For those of you that want to win this, here are a few last minute hints.

    I want a warm cheery friendly kitchen in the back ground. The title to be cold like ice, but the food and kitchen to be warm. No fake looking kitchens. I want it to look like the model is in a real cheery kitchen.

    Title, please put a space between words and capitalize the first letters or all. Otherwise it looks like "rice" something when you take a quick glance. I'm a big fan of the DIN font and the Gotham font, but use your favorites for bold capital letters.

    I want the authors name to stand out and be on the bottom of the cover.

    I want the subtitle to either go above the title or below the food.

    I want the model to be cropped from the waist up. Do what works to ge the subtitle in under the food if you need to. Or again place the subtitle on top of the title. Please get your submissions in as soon as possible. The contest ends Monday Jan 26th at 8pm MST.

    Throwing me in every direction here :D Tried to do the best I could with your suggestions, sounds like you want it warm (can't use blue), don't like the banners, and fixed the text up top along with her name. Let me know your thoughts
    [​IMG]
    Personally not sure of the kitchen image used, so I'll keep looking

    Sorry, I just am not loving the cover even though you've shown it to me in so many different titles. I don't like the overall feel of the cover. It reminds me of the move "The Terminator" not a cookbook. I'm looking for a natural, bright beautiful kitchen and the ones you have submitted are....more like drawings or cartoons.

    Different font, more natural kitchen.

    I like a thinner font that you had before on the title. Lets see one with the neon blue and one without. Also, will you invert the pictuer of the model on one. I want to see it both ways.

    I don't like the color of the subtitile and can you use "serve" later instead of "eat" later in the subtitle. Also align the subtitle to the right (the right side of the book when looking at it)...not to the left.

    We are so close, this is killing me. I really dislike the kitchen image as well. I want gorgeous $$$ dream kitchen, warm, friendly...bright, sunny...


    I like a blue title with a dark background...would you capitalize the letters of each word and put a space in between the words? Lets go back to that...not orange. Food warm, title icy cold. You can seriously drop this now if you would like...but man we are close. I hope that you will try a few more things so you can win this.
