I like the idea of the first set, but it looses some contrast. It looks like a filter was used, maybe just make the photos black & white. On the second cover, I like the font much better than last weeks, but the text is blending a little in the trees. I think the last cover is the strongest one this week I'd definitely go with that. That font is perfect.
I like the first set best. I would agree with April about making them just black and white instead of using the chrome like filter that seems to be used. The font and the placing of the title works. The 'P' in Public seems to be censoring that area of the photo, which makes the cover kind of funny.
I don't like the bright red color of font in the last two sets and the title in the last set is way to large.
Second set. This naked man is infinitely interesting to look at. And the clunky font works well with the grainy image. Also the painted quality of the back cover is fine.
Maybe make the font even brighter red. Bring it out with the faded colors of the cover.
I think this time the first one strikes me as the strongest. Although all of your pics are not black and white inside, the cover looks good this way. I agree with April about the filter though, maybe you could use some other way to get those pics to be lighter. The invert section in photoshop may work but I'm not sure how that will look or you can do them in black and white and maybe just make them a little lighter.
I want you to go see Ian. I feel like he can show you lots of approaches to text that will benefit you immensely. Also, I feel that you absolutely have to step away from these filters. That affected image has nothing conceptually to do with your work, so it doesn't seem appropriate.
I respond to the first cover more. I like the fact that you hid his private parts behind your title, I think it goes well with the humor of your subject. Have you thought about splitting your title up since it is fairly long? Maybe having Naked Folks being the title on the front, and Public Places on the back, again covering his butt in an obvious way?

ReplyDeleteDang--It erased the first one I wrote.

ReplyDeleteI really think all of them have their high points to them, really like the P in the first on blocking his junk. No suggestions, love 'em all.
