Survey: Help Choose the Cover Design for the Much Ado About Corona Novel

Below I have six possible designs for the forthcoming novel, Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story. I was hoping you might be willing to look them over and vote on your favourite. You know the old saying, never judge a book by it’s cover. Sadly, most people do. So I want to make a good first impression when people see the cover online or possibly even in on shelf in a bookstore.

As long-time subscribers know, artist Jordan Henderson and I have been working on this cover for over ten months. It started with numerous sketches and an original painting that was just too darn frightening. This led to Jordan pulling out most of his hair, making many more sketches and a brand new concept; which led to a second painting that went through three significant revisions and Jordan tearing out most of his beard. The final rendering of the cover art exceeded my expectations and is what we are using for the novel.

I just need to settle the other design elements—namely the typeface for the title and authorship. I hired three different designers. Below I present six of their submissions (two from each designer). Please review them, then complete the form below indicating which one is your favourite:

OPTION A (above)
OPTION B (above)
OPTION C (above)
OPTION D (above)
OPTION E (above)
OPTION F (above)

Please enter your email in the form below and select the cover option you most prefer the most. Your email address is being used to ensure nobody votes more than once. I’m not sure why someone would do that, but I also don’t know why people wear face masks when they are . You will not receive any emails messages as a result of completing the survey and the records will be deleted after the survey is complete.
