      Thank you so much for all your kind comments, hereby the reworked piece with text design (translation: through thick and thin) (it's going to be published in The Netherlands)

      I've made a cover design for a new childrens-book in three different color schemes. Of course there is room for the title and other info. Feedback is very much appreciated!

        @Leontine One of the first things that jumped out for me was that each of these color schemes seems to evoke a different season. #1: summer, #2: autumn, #3 spring. Was that intentional? Does the book take place during a specific season or is that kind of vague?

          I really like the color contrast in the third one, but I agree with @AirenHall that they look very seasonal. So if the story calls for a specific season that might decide it. Lovely work.

              They are all lovely, but my favorite is the third one!

                @airenhall @smceccarelli @RHirsch Thank you, thats really helpful.The book will be released in autumn, however, its probably not sold out in half a year, so thats the difficult part. Id like to give it a feeling of 'happy', more than 'seasonal'. Perhaps I have to work on the blue version and give it a punch.

                  @leontine These all look very nice! I would say that number three is the one that jumps out the most though - great work!

                    What a great mood..I love it. For me the orange and blue color combo really popped, that's the one I'd choose!

                        The 3rd one is my favorite. I think the characters stand out against the background more in this one & it has a little more depth between the foreground and the background.

                          Like them a lot, great movement and joy that comes from this picture! I like the 3rd one the most because the children jump out more. Really love it!
