I tend to like the stuff that comes out in the UK more.<br /><br />In this case, I like the UK one. It seems safer, more fun and less confrontational.<br /><br />The feel of cover art can be a lot different when one actually sees it in person if the binding differs from the standard we usually see. I wonder how this will turn out. I think how the book is made, and the size of it, can make a big difference as to the aesthetics of the cover art. Also, any promotional material on the book can make a difference, too, but it might have a better effect than you think.<br /><br />Some things that stick out to me about the US art are as follows: The bubbles make it more inviting for the story. The drooping font seems to imply some element of danger, or deviation. It's a fairly close and intimate picture. She looks very placid, like she's been in that position for a long time, kind of like she's modeling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543287524818908561.post-2594735593247326012010-05-15T09:30:31.151-07:002010-05-15T09:30:31.151-07:00I'm from Utah, and I vastly prefer the US cove...I'm from Utah, and I vastly prefer the US cover.
