July Prompt - Silver shoes -Tiny bit of color..any thoughts?
-
The yellow gives it more depth of field. The bricks are gold but the mortar would not be gold. See how that change affects it.
-
@LauraA Thank you for your feedback Laura! - I had that same idea of the magical effect when i put the splash of color there!
@carriecopadraws Thank you Carrie! I had not considered colored text..i am wondering which one you found interesting though..2 or 3... your feedback has a bit of a cliffhanger in it
@Kim-Hunter Thank you for the feedback Kim! I will use some yellow for sure. For some reason white mortar really bothers me on this ..too much contrast and it leads my eye all over the place... i could be wrong though - thank you again for the feedback! -
@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 lām close...maybe a bit darker behind illustratorās name..way more saturated than I thought I would end with but it really enhances the reflection somehow...oddly ..itās 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 youāll be sending the mock-up version, get rid of the bleed marks on your design (well, rather ācutā the design along the bleed marks and with that cropped image create the mock-up, but you probably know that.)
-
@mag Thank you! I wonāt 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!
-
Makes me want to do a mock up for my cover @Kevin-Longueil!
-
It looks really cool!
@Jeremy-Ross You should!
-
Super awesome. Just gorgeous. Totally pro. You figured the yellow out!
-
@Kevin-Longueil beautiful!!!
-
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?

@TessaW Thank you Tessa!
@Coley Wow! thank you Coley!
@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you so much Nyrryl! I will remove the grid lines when i post it on the contest thread for sure - thank you again
@Eric-Droke Thank you Eric! -
Thanks @Kevin-Longueil
-
I would go with the yellow for sure. Particularly considering that itās 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!
-
Tried my hand with the mockup @Kevin-Longueil, Definitely had fun trying this; Here it is!

@Griff Thank you for the feedback Griff!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz now Iām 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 itās clear Iām counting with the bleed and they can be sure where everything is placed within the āactualā clean format of the cover... but I donāt like having them there either.
