Please give advice on what image is better

[ScarletWeeb]

What cover image should I use? The book is a dark fantasy, gritty, action book.

3rd (cover #4) is my pick.

Or the 1st.

First is both stylistic and readable.

Where's the poll?

Firstly I go for readability at a glance. The strong letters on 5,4 and 1 pass that.
Second I look at things that seem odd for no apparent reason, like why TOP is unusually large in #1, making it feel off to me.
Next I am looking at how they go together. I can't really see a reason why #4 is in 2 different colors. That also feels of to me.
So I am going with #5
That's my choice, and why

I'd go for 2nd image if I were to consider your specifications.

 

[ArlindoFrancisco]

2nd image, I think... but you should have put a poll.

I'm on 5.

Same. It's the only one that'll look good when it's resized to 250x350 and on a mobile.

I would go for the 5th one :p

I would go with any of the ones in the middle. The first one, though I LOVE the font, has the text kind of bleed into the background, and the last one has an odd, sterile feel that does not appeal to me, personally. Personally, I like the color scheme on the center one (#4) but the font on Cover #3 best.
Though, honestly, you would not go wrong with any of these.

The first is one is the most readable. Considering your cover should also be readable in thumbnail size, readability is definitely important. I also think it has the best colour scheme.

Nice cover design by the way! :) And good luck with your story

Can I post a poll tomorrow or a day after then? Will it violate any ToS?

Thanks for the compliment and the advice. I started posting 2 months back, went on a 3 week long hiatus, and wanted to soft relaunch the story with a new cover.

These all kinda rule! I like the one labeled 'cover #5' the most, it reminds me of a Marvel movie poster. Sorta looks like if they made Venom a twink, I'm loving it
