You have all been so great helping me write my new book, so now I’d love for you to help me pick out the cover! Which of these 3 covers do you like best for How to Be Ok With Where You Are?
#1 Girl with Hat
#2 Suitcase girl
#3 Train Station girl
Let the voting begin! And tell me why you picked it…go!
xo,
Stacey
#2 Suitcase Girl for sure! The others say “GO”… this one says “BE”. Beautiful!
I love #2!
#1 speaks to me more visually about a girl who’s happy to be where she is, and is happy with where she’s going. It seems more carefree.
Suitcase girl…I like them all…I think this one goes with the title best…she looks like she’s home pondering leaving
I like #1. My first thought when I saw it was she’s okay with where she is, but open to where God may take her.
I agree with Aimee. #2. She doesn’t look like she is searching. (and I love those shoes!)
I’m a fan of the second one – Girl with Suitcase. It feels like she’s owning her “stuff”, but she’s not looking to set it down, get away from it. She’s expectant. She’s a little nervous, but she put on her best, waiting for what’s to come. I like that it feels like she’s starting at home. Maybe I’m reading too much into a stock photo, but that’s how it feels to me.
I like #3. It’s the most visually striking to me, personally. It’s the one most likely to get my attention on a shelf. The picture makes it unclear whether she’s leaving or arriving. Plus, she’s the only one who’s not physically holding on to her baggage.
#3
Because so often we don’t know where the Lord is taking us, if we’re coming, going, or staying… we’re always moving, transitioning, and growing; yet somehow we have to figure out “how to be ok with where we are.”
#2!!!!!!!!
I vote for #3. I couldn’t tell is was a train station, but I really like it visually. And, like others have said–she’s not holding her baggage. She’s ready for the journey.
#3 if my favorite. I just think it looks better than the other two.
#2 – she isn’t going anywhere but her body language also doesn’t imply that she’s immovable – her stance is a little…insecure?…which makes me feel like I don’t have to have it all together to be ok with where I am.
I vote #3. The other photos seem more familiar & plain to me. The 3rd is a little bit “fresher”. I just like the look of it too. Love you!
I looked at them again. #1, I think she looks like she’s hot & she forgot her shoes. #2- the shoes just aren’t cute (and that’s important). #3- Although her dress isn’t platform appropriate (ha), I love her shoes & everything else.
#1. She is okay where she is and she is okay with where she is going to.
I tend to gravitate towards #2. I just find it more visually appealing than the others. Then, I thought, “Her book is about being okay where you are.” When I look at them from that perspective, #2 still struck me as “the one”.
Hope this help!
#1 is my favorite! So carefree and easy going!
I like #1. Looks like an invitation to something filled with hope.
#1. Girl with Hat
#2 suitcase girl! The pic says “not quite sure of myself’, so it fits the working title that you shared.
Can’t wait to hear what wisdom you have about being happy with where we are. Our culture makes that really hard.
Number 2 is lovely
#1 – because it has a sense of direction; going on a journey; traveling a road
#3 has the best visual effect, but I think #1 works better as the cover for your book, to me it says she’s all in – for whatever is ahead…I think she already read the book and is OK with where she is and where she is going!
Torn between 2 and 3…. love the unsure feel of 2, but gain security from the story in 3 – knowing there is a destination at some point, just not right now….
#2 because it looks like she’s at peace with her journey
I love the #1 The Girl with the hat 🙂
#2! The shoes. Need I say more?
She looks like she is a little unsure, a little shy, but ready to try something new.
#1 is my second choice because she looks confident and ready for the journey (cue “I Have Confidence!” from Sound of Music).
#3 all I see are stretched out legs, knobby knees, and early 90s velour shoes.
#1 would be my choice, it speaks to me the most about being ok with where you are, body language looks more relaxed, victorious. The 2nd cover, the woman looks very unsure, body language speaks of low self esteem to me. The 3rd girl appears to be indecisive, she’s at the train station but unconnected to her luggage.
#3. She is waiting but there seems to be purpose in it. She knows what direction she’s headed. She’s secure.
I like # 1 because she is going forward, moving on, not standing still or waiting. She is confident and trusting God that no matter where He takes her that He is leading the way and she has nothing to fear.
I LOVE # 2! She looks like she is comfortable in her “own skin”. She is not trying to impress anyone but just enjoying being who God created her to be!
#1 is too “modelish” and perfect and already looks like she’s VERY ok with where she is. The everyday woman can’t relate to it. #3 is too vague…we don’t know “where” she is (besides a train station) or where she’s going. But #2 is perfect because we can see where she is, with her “baggage,” a bit insecure by the stance of her feet. THIS speaks to the everyday woman and would make them want to pick up the book. Plus the shoes do as well 🙂
I like #1 !!! She looks care free!!!
My daughter and I both like #1…not sure why exactly…
I liked #1 till I read Aimee’s reason for liking #2. It is more about “being” than about traveling. Love #2!!!!!!!!!
#2 is more insecure.
#3 calls to me
#1 is too confident. Possibly too expected
#2 YAY!! 🙂
I just love h0w all the colors/scenery flow together in #3 🙂
too much knees in #3…once I noticed them I couldn’t see anything else.
I think #1 doesn’t match the title, because that woman seems to be moving forward (not being okay with where she is).
So my vote is for #2
Depending on the concept of your book and its title, I’d say your best choice is between #2 and #3.
What’s the name of your new book? And the concept? I would have to know that before telling you which one (#2 of #3) is your best bet 🙂
The title of the book is called “Being Ok With Where You Are”. You can find out more here here.
In that case, Stacey, I think you should go with #2- the girl with the suitcase, because the way she’s standing with her toes pointing inward and the suitcase hanging in front of her gives the reader the impression that she is insecure and since your book title is “Being Ok With Where You Are”, I think book cover #2 is ideal if not perfect to convey your message. 🙂 Because too often we are NOT okay with who we are so we are very insecure and when you’re insecure you give it off in your body language and as I’ve said the body language of the woman in the #2 picture says “insecure” in away that pic #1 and pic #3 do not (Pic #1 says “carefree” and Pic #3 says “confident and strong”).
Does that help y0u?
Do not like #1 or #2 at all so I would say #3.
I think #2 suits what your writing about.
But it needs more colour, something striking to catch your eye. The colours are all too similar. Maybe she could be sitting on a bright/dark couch, to break up the white wall, white dress and light coloured flooring.
The other 2 look like she has already given up and run away.
All the best and I look forward to reading it.
