Virginia, that’s so interesting! I had to stare a few seconds to see the construction hat you’ve referred to. I wonder if the cover designer got that reaction from others.

Thanks, Alicia. I see your point about the spacing — it is pretty tight! Thanks for stopping by!

And I agree with your points; they have made every word count on the title, and were savvy to echo the Twitter colors… hopefully that won’t be an IP issue for him down the track, though. I thought initially it could do with a little more “air” (space) around the words, but it’s confronting.

I look forward to returning to your site.

Cheers,
Alicia

Glad you had that “aha!” moment! The image is clever, but there’s something about the typeface that I really like, too!

Thanks, Donna. My expectations for fiction and nonfiction covers are different, and this works well for me for nonfiction. I agree with you on that last word in the subtitle — it’s the one that makes me think that this might not be “just another business book.”
