Don't try to argue with me, please. So far you have a bunch of goofy opinions backed up by nothing but your own sense of superiority.

Says who? Did you start the contest? Did you write the rules? You decided something without knowing anything about it.

Here, here's an interview with a professional cover designer: The Jacket Designer's Challenge: To Capture A Book By Its Cover

Quote:
On what a book jacket is and does

I think there are two primary jobs that a jacket has to do: It has to represent a text and it has to sell it.
Also, you give your same tedious opinion: "it's rubbish" but you don't back up what makes for a good or bad cover.

I have asked you to give some examples of what you think is good artwork, but you don't do that. All you do is dump on everything while giving no basis for where your opinions come from.

I was going to write more, but I'm done. Replying to your posts feels like talking to a stone.
