      @Kevin-Longueil I was talking about #3, but you might feel differently if you use a color title. Curious to see what you go with.

        Mortar - white would be too much contrast but a lesser tint of yellow over gray might work.

          I think l’m close...maybe a bit darker behind illustrator’s name..way more saturated than I thought I would end with but it really enhances the reflection somehow...oddly ..it’s fun to put an image on book mock up 🙂 Any final feedback before I send it in?

            @Kevin-Longueil I totally love it!
            Btw, if you’ll be sending the mock-up version, get rid of the bleed marks on your design (well, rather “cut” the design along the bleed marks and with that cropped image create the mock-up, but you probably know that.) 😉

              @mag Thank you! I won’t send the mock up in....I just posted it this way because i thought it was kinda fun to see it looking like a real book - thank you for the feedback!

                        You CRUSHED it! Love the limited use of color. But my favorite part is the reflection in the shoes! Genius! Way to go!

                          @Kevin-Longueil My last suggestion is maybe lose the grid lines?

                                I would go with the yellow for sure. Particularly considering that it’s meant to be a book cover I think there should be some color to grab the eye. Love the reflection in the shoes by the way!

                                      @Nyrryl-Cadiz now I’m wondering if I should leave the grid lines in when I post it to show what is and is not in the bleed zone...?

                                        @Kevin-Longueil I was wondering the same, even thinking about posting two images side by side one with bleed, one without... but decided to just go with the grid lines, so it’s clear I’m counting with the bleed and they can be sure where everything is placed within the “actual” clean format of the cover... but I don’t like having them there either. 🤔
