<p><a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/toothycritterscovercropped_jf8q.jpg" rel="lightbox[690]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-692" style="margin-left: 25px; margin-right: 25px;" title="Toothy Critters Love Flies" src="http://www.absolutecovers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/toothycritterscovercropped_jf8q-195x300.jpg" alt="Toothy Critters Love Flies" width="195" height="300" /></a>The general layout of the cover is good.</p>
<p>Here are some tips that will help from a marketing standpoint:</p>
<ul>
<li>Put the tile on two rows <em>Toothy Critters / Love Flies and try to increase it&#8217;s size</em></li>
<li>I would use a different font fr the title and author</li>
<li>Subtitle is hardly readable when the cover is shrink down</li>
<li>Making the cover in 3d will help.</li>
</ul>
<p>Try these changes and I can almost guarantee they will increase your sales ratio.</p>
<p>Best,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guillermo had asked us to review the following cover:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Alacanzera.gif" rel="lightbox[679]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-680" style="margin-left: 25px; margin-right: 25px;" title="The 13th Civilisation" src="http://www.absolutecovers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Alacanzera-198x300.gif" alt="The 13th Civilisation" width="198" height="300" /></a>The cover is quite good. <a href="http://smiley4.me"><img class="wp-smiley" style="border: 0pt none; " src="http://smiley4.me/wink.gif" alt="" width="18" height="18" /></a></p>
<p>Here are a couple of suggestions that might improve it a little:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding a human element (like in the old navigational maps) might help</li>
<li>Having the <a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/ebook-cover">ecover</a> in 3d  will boost your conversion</li>
<li>The cover lacks contrast and action</li>
<li>I like the sepia tone as it makes you think of the past</li>
</ul>
<p>Hoping that these ideas will help you increase your sales,<br />
Ovi Dogar</p>

<p>Roy asked us to review his <a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/ebook-cover">ebook cover</a> for <em><strong>Insight Ignites The Eyewitness.</strong></em></p>
<p>Here are a couple of ideas to keep in mind:</p>
<p>1. The cover design looks kind of dull &#8211; you might want to make it a little sharper</p>
<p>2. The title is quite small and doesn’t pop out</p>
<p>3. The font used for the text doesn’t do justice to this book. You might ant to try something more action oriented. <img src='http://www.absolutecovers.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>4. Did you really wanted to spell the <strong>genre</strong> word as <strong>Gener</strong>?</p>
<p>All in one, I do think you have a great book here and I&#8217;m pretty sure you can mae it look better with a professionally designed cover.</p>
<p>Best,<br />

<p>Mark Andrews of www.thefoalingguide.com asked us to review his <a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/ebook-cover">ebook cover</a> so here are a few things that should increase its apearance and increase sales:</p>
<ul>
<li>a 3d look will help alot</li>
<li>add some more text (author and perhaps a statement)</li>
<li>the font for the title is a big no, no &#8211; Comic fonts conveys the lack of seriosity</li>
<li>the image is quite good &#8211; you might want to keep it</li>
<li>adding some graphical elements will help too.</li>
</ul>
<p>All in one, you have a very basic <a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/ebook-cover">e-book cover</a> that I&#8217;m not so sure is helping your sales. <img src='http://www.absolutecovers.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Roger Loh of newnetworkmarketingsecrets.com asked us to review it&#8217;s main cover:</p>
<p>Here are a few points to help with the design:</p>
<p>1. The title going over the image is a little disturbing;<br />
2. You should save it as a jpg instead of a gif as that will improve the color rendition;<br />
3. <em><strong>Revealed</strong></em> is way to empowered by both size and the color reversal &#8211; I would rather like to read Network Marketing Secrets in a larger font;<br />
4. The image doesn&#8217;t have to do much with the book&#8217;s message;<br />
5. The red color gets your attention, but considering the lack of trust people have in Network Marketing, a touch of blue would help a lot with the credibility.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p>Here are a few points to make this cover look better, and increase your sales:</p>
<p>1. your photo&#8230;should be flipped horizontally so you&#8217;re facing the middle of the cover instead of the left edge</p>
<p>2. the text is a little too crammed vertically.</p>
<p>3. the title touching the cover edges is a big no, no</p>
<p>4. you have too much space around the preface&#8217;s author.</p>
<p>5. a 3D look for the cover will improve the conversion. If you can&#8217;t make it in 3D, you might want to consider displaying only the front cover and cut off the spine</p>
<p>Hope this helps!<br />

<p>Mary Louise of BlogTalkRadioMadeEasy.com asked us to review her cover.</p>
<p>So, here we go:</p>
<p>1. the colors used are OK &#8211; blue gives an air of seriousness while orange makes the product seem affordable.</p>
<p>2. the background image is not so clear, but I would have used something radio related (waves/antenaes, etc.)</p>
<p>3. the fonts, are a little too much</p>
<p>4. the URL should be spelled without the spaces</p>
<p>5. The statement font is a little to small, and the statement on the long side &#8211; you should keep it shorter and increase the font size to make it more readable.</p>
<p>These are just a few points that, if changed will increase your sales!</p>
<p>Warm regards,<br />
