Thanks so much for all your feedback and encouragement !
Incidentally I like the window piece too … I am using it in the title page inside the book.

The Gondola piece I did indeed for the cover and I’ll show you asap, the final for it … I think it’s pretty much there … the book is almost all finished in InDesign … maybe week or two away from sending the files to the printers …
Phew … been a long run … almost there.

These are all so nice! This is going to be one amazing book. Congrats, can’t wait to see which one you pick. I too like the white type.

La seconda copertina e la quarta sono molto belle. Nella quarta pero’ forse il testo si perde un po’. La seconda, oltre ad avere aria per il testo mi sembra piu’ rappresentativa della storia.
E la gondola dov’e’ finita? Vedere, vedere!

Bottom right if you ask me is the most beautiful image, however second right image is fun too.

All the best!

I like the first set’s top right (2). I like the comp with the characters half in shadow and walking toward the title text… however I like that the title text feel included as part of the image, where 3 feels like the text is just pasted on top of a picture.

However, I also agree with cK. It doesn’t say “venice” the way the 4th image does…. but the 4th images doesn’t say “a story about us” like 2nd and 3rd do…

I’m looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve next. I’m guessing you have some ingeuniouse way to combine the best qualities of 2 and 4.

Also, maybe I haven’t been reading closely enough lately, but what happened to this one?

maybe if you added your sweetheart sitting next to little enrico sipping tea/coffee and just enjoying the moment with him?

Best wishes, can’t wait to see where you’re going with it,

Right bottom (4). Most of the readers on this blog are familiar with the Venice Chronicles. However, the cover needs to attract readers who do not know your work. It is difficult to associate Venice with other covers except right bottom (4). From composition standpoint, you really get a feeling that it is a travelogue from this one. To enhance it, the water may need an aqua blue to get the attention of the prospective reader.
