Ugh, so much potential here. They didn’t need the “chroma skull” again, and just looks out of place in central left part of the book. Also, the font for the author’s name is too different from the font for the title.
I really am beyond caring when I look at some of these covers. Maybe I’ve hit LBC overload, but I’m wondering if I really need 5-10 reminders every day that the world is full of morons.
That said – I know I’ll keep coming back, if only for the witty repartee I find here.
Nothing quite pushes the competent man to higher levels of greatness like the incompetent man. That is one reason why I come here. It is easier to design if you know what doesn’t work. (Also I come to vent some snark.)
Side joke: Maybe you should see a doctor about that witty repartee, maybe he has a cream for it?
I come here because this place is an emotional rollercoaster for me. I laugh my ass off, I cry, I stare in disbelief, I get outraged, mad, frustrated, disillusioned, rendered speechless, bored, worked up, amused and entertained, depressed regarding the future of mankind… All that in just one place! And you never know which is going to be when the new cover arrives. Isn’t this place great?
And yeah, learning factor is a bonus ;).

The designer obviously couldn’t decide if he wanted the scull for the cover or the logo, and then decided, why not have your scull and eat it? And then he couldn’t decide whether to shoot the scull or stab it. Decisions. Hard are they.

Where is the blood coming from? It’s a skull.
RIGHT? Bwahahahaaa!
Also, why is there unspent ammo lying in the blood? Extra bullets that weren’t needed?
Can I just say the one thing that comes to mind?
Underwhelmed.
