Dreams Tell Lies and Covers Need Creating! :) (edited)

Okay, these covers are for the contest 'Dreams Tell Lies' by IcyFlame!
Took part in it and just found these interesting pictures from internet and edited and texted

The second cover sadly was 'All Rights Reserved'
But I think you guys liked the 1st cover more

I did try my best ^.^
Here you go!

Wow! I have so many of these now it's going to be so hard to judge this contest -but I'm not complaining! These are really beautiful, I especially love how intricate you've made the first one in particular as I've said on the others I can't really give a lot of feedback but I thought I'd post a note on here to say thanks for entering and good luck!!

wow! these covers are really great,such amazing detail and love how they go with the title.first one in particular.very nice and creative edit! good luck:)

Wow, these are really nice The colours in both of them are beautiful and the pictures you chose are also nice.
In the first one I think you should use a different colour for “IcyFlame” as part of the background colour is very close to Icy. Other than that they are both really good and well edited
( I’m going off and crying now because I’m going to lose )
Anyways well done and good luck!

These are pretty darn cool. I think I prefer the first one?

Just a note, though- if these are going to be used as covers, since the art/pictures are not your own, you should double check the artist's policy on editing their work. Some will let you edit and use their pictures, but often it's only non-commercially. This means if Icyflame wants to print books off using these and try and sell them, she could get in trouble! It's worth double checking. (if it's just a vanity cover and icyflame isn't selling her novel at the moment, you still need to double check that the artist is okay with you editing and using their work at all. I know in case of deviant art it will have a CC logo on the page somewhere- creative commons)

Sorry for the rant, I just don't want any of you getting into trouble over these pretty covers!

If I have seen one of those incredibly awesome covers in a book-store, I would definitely buy them with no doubt, without even the need to read what the novel is talking about!
You've made a fantastic job in both choosing the images or your creativity in designing the covers.

I love the first cover more than the second one. Probably because it is more colourful and the image just adds style and uniqueness to the cover making it very attractive.

However, there is something in common in both covers which I dislike. That is the randomness in placing the words of title in every direction. It is just distracting for the viewer.

> In the first photo, I would recommend placing the whole novel title in the area where the word "Lies" is placed. Also, the author's name should be given a bolder font style to make it clearer. But I like the color of the font, it is perfect!
> In the second photo, I think it is not a good idea to make the words of the title looking tilted like the first one. In the first photo it looked good since the dress of the girl is revolving along with the words. On the other hand, the second photo has several areas that could be occupied with words instead of spreading them all over. The choice of the font style for the second cover is not a bad one, however, the 'c' in the author's name Icy looks like an "o' to me, if I didn't know the author's name before.

I just have this feeling that you're going to win this. Good Luck
