Cover Design: Why I Drive Myself Nuts

[MJ DeMarco]

So I'm trying to pick a cover ... here are the variations ... note this is several variations of the SAME DESIGN ... just with different colors, fonts, etc.

Please pick what you like the best.

Right now, I'm leaning toward 1A, 2C, and 5C. These are rough mocks and not print ready so don't bust on me for the resolution.

Some decisions ...

1) Use $ and € in the Fastlane? Yea? Nay? The $ (north america) and € (europe) are my markets, yet, I'm concerned that it gives the book the illusion that it has something to do with currency trading. (It doesn't)

2) Include my Lambo or not ... note, the Lambo has significance in the entire book -- the Fastlane was born out of a Lamborghini encounter when i was young, so the book starts by describing "the lamborghini prophecy" ... it sets the stage for the entire book so I though it would be significant enough to put on the cover. Also my target market is 16-34, young men so I thought it would be good to have.

3) Color of top/bottom bands/font styles/etc.
