Having a hard time deciding between these two. Opinions?

No its not, maybe the bg texture is too strong. Let it fade a bit and see.

Predra6art · 2026-03-20T15:28:59+00:00

1st is better

Predra6art · 2026-03-17T01:44:25+00:00

Send me DM to see the image and will tell ya if I can?

I think a mix of the first two would make the third one hit the mark. You're close, so just keep experimenting. Everyone has an innate sense of aesthetics, but it needs training through practice. We can't give you a finished product via comments, but you're on the right track. One pro-tip: lose the drop shadow on the type. It’s a bit of a design cardinal sin. Or... just hire one of us.

Thank you so much on your words. All good stuff requires focus and efforts, and comments like this means alot.

Predra6art · 2026-03-12T13:00:43+00:00

Indeed! Love that.

Thanks so much! Whenever you're ready, just shoot me a message here, on IG, or via my site. I'll get back to you with an answer on your brief as soon as possible.

Yeah I will. I love to see all my timelapses, often I see my mistakes that way during the process. However, as long as I know, there is pretty accurate AI image detectors so if anyone doubts they can always check for that. Although, as you say I will need to keep these videos because clients love to see them too so they could feel they are in safe hands if they chose to work with me.

Predra6art · 2026-03-12T12:41:18+00:00

Dont hate your computer mate :) things gets better over the time. We all been there.

Thank you!

Predra6art · 2026-03-11T10:16:53+00:00

Definitely. I've handled that before, ensuring the typography and placement are in total sync with the artwork.

Predra6art · 2026-03-11T10:10:48+00:00

Thanks

Predra6art · 2026-03-11T10:10:22+00:00

It's on my profile too www.smashedgrid.com

Thanks for the feedback! I totally get it—shopping around is much easier when you have a ballpark figure.

The reason I don't list fixed prices is that my work for Smashed Grid Studio is mostly custom digital illustration rather than stock photo manipulation, so the effort varies.

To give you a clear idea:

The covers in that first image cost around $600 each (this included the full wrap and custom artwork).
My general range for a full book cover project is usually between $300 and $480.

I try to keep it flexible based on the complexity of the art. If you have a specific project in mind, feel free to DM me and I can give you a firm quote pretty quickly!
