    #11 please see the low-res image I've just uploaded to see if you can use that effectively in the cover. This is for all designers. Many thanks.

    Don't like #8 or #9 sorry. #10 is quite book as a text-only cover, however, I'm hoping someone will come up with a cover using a strong powerful image, for example, just eyes showing. We can't use people images but you can be creative. Also, I'll upload an image I've bought of an eagle in flight - this can be used so it integrates with the titles (cuts out a bit of the text?) to create a dynamic effect. Thanks.

    #7 Not sophisticated enough and can't read the subheading - if the title has the font effects the subheading should be plain text that is readable. Also, needs something else to make it creative and unique. Thanks.

    #3, #4, #5, #6 are too dark. I need a bright contemporary cover rather than a dark one. Hence white background and the bright purple I specified to contrast against that. Please submit others accordingly. Thanks.

    #2 "Seeing" is larger than "Success", but "Success" is more important, but perhaps they should be the same size. The subheading is too complicated and not easily readable. The design follows a center theme so why is the author name left-justified?

    MycroBurst wanted me to add description for this book to help all designers, so here it is: Seeing Success What is success? It can be said that most achievement of goals or personal success can be summed up in the one word – Happiness! Are you happy with your life? Do you feel successful? Can you see how to achieve the success you desire? Are you in touch with your personal positive power? Can you truly answer yes to all these questions or are you in need of a little help? Do you want to discover the brilliant and successful you, to learn how to set clear and concise life goals & dreams and unlock your real ability to achieve them? Much has been written on the secrets of success and in this book the author digs deep into the mine of ‘success wisdom’ to help you set the past aside and take a fresh ’baggage free’ look at your strengths and abilities. “Vision is the art of seeing things invisible”. – Jonathan Swift “I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself”. - Aldous Huxley “You can either give up, give in, or give it your all” – Winston Churchill “Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them” - Albert Einstein “There are no accidents, only opportunities – this book is meant for you” – Brian R Larcher See and Believe!
