Reading frequency audience targeting

This is a 8 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month, 1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• Options H is my first choice for the book cover design for a professional development book because it clearly indicates the subject at first sight.2. Option C because it has lots of information and the subject is easy to see on the cover.3. Option D because it has lots of clear information4. Option E because it has a clear picture of the subject5. Option B because it has lots of information but has a person guessing about the subject6. Option G because it seems more like a sport type of book7. Option A because it seems a mystery on the subject8. Option F because it leaves a person guessing about the subject of the book
• the arrow shape of the chess pieces, with the image of the person, indicates that there is an adversary in this LONG GAME, this cover motivates me.Do not discard the one voted in second place, option F, visually it has a lot of impact.
• The covers with the chess pieces stand out visually and represent the theme of the book well.
• The maze does the best job of giving a visual representation of the title
• The books with professional looking covers with some vivid colors draw my attention the most.

This is a 8 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month, 4+ Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• I ranked the covers based on how intriguing and inspirational they were when I looked at them. Option E and G captured my interest the most.
• A makes the most sense because it goes with the title and the subject matter. B shows some action and strategy to win, but not necessarily an exact fit to the title. C is visually appealing and shows a game being played to win, so it is still relevant to the title and subject but not as action packed as the first two choices. G isnt really featuring a game unless it is referring to Chutes and Ladders, but it is simply a lighthearted and practically dead on approach to the name of the book. D is somewhat confusing as far as what the person is doing or the shape in front of them; it seems like a marathon runner about to go through a jet shaped hole in the wall which in itself is unusual but the whole image still implies a competition about to happen. E looks like a moment of reflection for someone who has attained their goals, but it is not particularly direct about this. F is a nice, professional looking image of the author and is welcoming but it doesn't grab me for the concept of the book or what I will be learning. H is too busy and wordy with the many fonts and phrases, and the image is small and generic.
• choices b,a,c seems like more modern book cover styles
• "F" is the best cover. I would pick this.
• i picked the coolest looking covers that seemed like the book has depth

This is a 4 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month, 4+ Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• D looks more professional because of the suit, the tie, and the lack of a beard.
• B looks the most put together professional yet approachable casual person to me. C is good but a little too casual and D is too business nonpersonable to me. A looks haggard and rough, worn out....I want inspiration! :)
• Option B seems like the best one-- approachable, friendly, etc. My alternate choice would be Option D for the professionalism.
• I think the beard looks my credible as the clean shaven looks to generic and trying to hard
• I like the bigger shot but I also like to see something that is more professional looking which gives them credability

This is a 6 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month, 1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• Option C stood out to me because of its color and its novel design.
• I definitely like this one the best. I like the color scheme a lot. I love the different shades of blue and how they pop off the background. I also like the chess pieces that are in use on it
• I love this one as it has game pieces on it. One of them looks like a gold piece, which is seen as the reward.
• Option A. it looks 3-D the chessboard and the gold and I love the color of the red going to the orange in the title. It definitely would jump off of a shelf at me. And I picked option D for the same reason and it's just wicked cool too the graphic on it is really wild looking it's excellent
• I liked the color scheme and the inclusion of the chess board of B and F. I liked the arrangement of the chess pieces on B better than f which is why I selected it first.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• Title is easier to read and the simple cover sparks more imagination.
• A matches the description really well and is very intriguing like a spy novel. Same with A but looks like its more about the butterfly effect. B is very generic.
• I ranked my choices based on which cover seemed most to represent the term 'codex'.
• All three options are very good and make me pick up the book just by its cover. Option A has a nice butterfly showing some type of butterfly affect theory maybe in the works inside the story. I like this cover to the be the best. Option B also looks nice with in image of the part of the codex. I would try to pick this up and try to read it out if I can. That is good. Option C is good but looks kinda 007 copy so I wouldn't really prefer this one thinking its a copy of that that type of a story
• This option takes a very literal approach and it works well. I like how large the text is. Really stands out. The "award winning" promo helps sell the book too.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• I think the image of the person as the background is more interesting and eye catching.
• The cover with the squares and the man brings intrigue to their story.
• The historical figures and pictures makes me intrigued because I love fiction based on history
• I chose A since it has the reference to "The Award Winning Series Behind the Major Motion Picture Infinite" ... this gives me more info about the book and increases my interest in it
• I think the cover best reflects a book about manuscripts.

This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Favorite book genres (Mystery And Crime), Hobbies and interests (Reading), Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month), Age range (45 54, 35 44, 55 64), and Gender identity (Female). A sample of responses:

• I like KJ Downs the most because it has a certain ring to it. I tried to imagine myself at school (I'm a teacher) talking about the latest book I'm reading and including the author's name and title. I think KJ Downs simply rolls of one's tongue. It's intriguing and mysterious in a way. It makes one wonder if the author is male or female. Which sex would be writing a book series about a female detective? It would make me want to read more. My least favorite way KJ O'Day simply because it seems too rhymey and cliche. I do like Parker as a first name but the last name, DeSales, is too confusing. One wonders--is the "s" at the end silent, is it pronounced like "sales" or like "LaSalle". Perhaps Parker Tenny would be easy to pronounce and lend itself to the mysterious aura.
• I choose option F because it seems to me that she is an adventure writer, it sounds like she is not an ordinary woman but someone who knows the risks very well. That is why the surname "Wilds" gives strength to the main character of the series, as if it were related to the life of the writer.My second option would be E but more for fashion, it seems easy to remember.My third option would be B, because it sounds different, even a little adventurous.As the fourth option I choose C, although it does not attract my attention as an adventure writer.As the last and sixth option would be D and A, because they seem to be rather ordinary people
• D - Classy, easily spelled, cute, appealing.C - Mysterious, elusive, fun.F - Creative and fun.E - Downs is not an appealing or creative name. Seems depressing.B - O makes it hard to spell, denotes Irish.A - Sounds like a sales ploy, hard to spell and search online, space in between or not?
• I like the sound of "R J" as the first part of the name. I also like the name Tenny for the first or last name. I don't like "K J O'Day" because it rhymes and doesn't fit for a author of a mystery series; sounds too hokey.
• A is a mouthful but is easy to say and sounds cutting edge like the heroine in the novel. The Desales also sounds French which a lot of Maine is French Canadian
