4 finalists for cover image!

Okay, so here's the five finalists for the cover image on my magazine. Remember, the image is not only used as the cover but also as all the graphics for the mag as well... plus the colours of the background and fonts are all linked to the colours within the image.

So... wanna pretend to be a publisher for a moment? Which image of these four would you use if it was your name on the publication?

(just so you know... I will be choosing the one I prefer but I really want to hear your input on this! pretend I'm your English teacher LOL)

So, in no particular order:

kitties #1
w00t

I like 1 and 2 the best? Why? Well, who doesn't love kittens - the picture is pretty centered, without a lot of "noise" in the background.


And the horse picture for many of the same reasons - centered, not a lot of "noise" in the background, it's crisp and clean!

I like all the pictures, it's just these 2 were the ones that stood out for me, no disrespect to the contributors of the other pictures!

I loves me some frogs.

I'm biased so I vote for my cat! #5! Show some love people!!

I really like #5. It brings immediate focus and attention to the idea of "pets." It's a beautiful face and it would be a relatively simple matter to pull elements out of the picture to use as graphics. Color schemes could include tans, grays, whites, and of course the green of those eyes!

I especially like the play of shadows & light in the horse pic, how the white side of her face is in shadow, but the dark side of the face catches a ray of sun. Cool contrast. :)

I like the first picture, but I feel that to many of the kits are facing away from the camera, so I would either go with the froggies, or the close up of the kitty face. The others are nice but the froggies grabbed my attention most quickly.

I love the horse and the frogs!

Crud, I misread the numbering and voted for the wrong one. Oh well.
