Nathan says:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1) THAT FONT MUST GO. A low-key photograph such as this one isn’t necessarily a problem, but it does shift more of the burden of communication onto the font, and this font simply isn’t up to it.\u00a0 It is a distinctly non-scary font.\u00a0 The replacement font doesn’t have to be out-and-out scary, because often those overboard fonts end up looking like a joke (for example, all of the “blood-dripping” fonts).\u00a0 But something slightly distressed will do just fine.<\/p>\n 2) I’d say to curtail the color palette of the photo a bit; you don’t need a full range of pastels to show on a thriller\/horror cover.\u00a0 If you overlay everything with a grunge texture, it can do double-duty of making the color more uniform, and adding that “gritty” connotation that works so well for this genre.<\/p>\n And since I had a few minutes to spare and it was easy to work on, I did this to illustrate what I’m talking about:<\/p>\n This is the five-minute version, and it shows; neither the font nor the texture is what I’d call my final choice. But it shows you what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n Any other comments?<\/p>\n March 23, 2014 Edit:<\/strong><\/p>\n The author has made some revisions:<\/p>\n I like the addition of the birds in the sky; it’s an extra detail rewarding those who look at the full-sized cover.<\/p>\n I like the font for the title, but I’d still like to see it both bigger and brighter.\u00a0 The same for the byline; I don’t necessarily think the author’s name needs to be read from the thumbnail, but it really disappears here.<\/p>\n March 24, 2014 Edit:<\/strong><\/p>\n Another revision:<\/p>\n![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/covercritics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/image.jpg\")
