VOTE PLEASE old or new title

[Krysteena]

over the years I have grown and change or revamp my previous work which do you like more old or new art for the title

old

new

[kyupol]

I like the old one better

[SpookySky]

They are both similar enough it is still your style, but I like to see how you grew with the subtle differences between the two. I like the new one just a smidge more.

[ArtGremlin]

I can tell you improved on lighting in the second one

[NickRowler]

I think the art looks better on the 2nd. However the colors for the title are a bit garish

I think using white text would look better, like this.

[Krysteena]

I cleaned up the lines a bit more to make it pop and add more detail to the girls face it bugged me how the 1440x960 scale makes it look weird.

[Krysteena]

The reason why I pick purple and blue represents the essence of the 2 main characters spiritual auras and the lightning was for fun to give a bit of a tribute to the 90s them at the book starts off in much like I was born and raised in the 90s.

[SwordSong]

The new one definitely has improved proportions, although I think the lighting on the girl's clothes is a bit too much. I also agree with NickRowler in that a plain white text for the title looks better overall.

[Krysteena]

Most manga items some type of art framing the words like roses and coins. This was the closest I could come to putting art to or around the words. Do you have any suggestions?

[SwordSong]

If you want to stylize the title text, putting a border around the text (preferrable something neutral-colored and less opaque) and/or giving it a bevel/emboss effect would be fine. I don't think it's necessary to put pictures around it considering that the cover image has a lot of details already, and you don't want them to fight over attention.

Here's some ideas for typography for book covers:

As you can see, the covers with a more stylized typography typically use plainer background image, while the ones that use photo or otherwise high-res pics has far simpler typography design (mostly just block letters).

[NickRowler]

I was born and raised in the 90s, and the title doesn't look very 90s. It's looks more webcore, however your art doesn't compliment that aesthetic.

There is this aesthetic of the big bright logo. Probably using early CGI technology to give them a new age 3D look. The colors of the image complement the logo, also being very bright and bold.

However, these are also 90s posters. They have a limited color palette, are more "moody" and uses a simple title against the black

I guess my point is you need to have your art and title complement each other.

[SpookySky]

What if you made the title white like suggested but made the lightening bolt the two colours?

[Krysteena]

Okay thank you I will looking in to that as do you know of a good editing app for the front I have to go back edit the picture remover the words then add them I am not great with layers yet lol.
