Reading frequency audience targeting

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• I like the clearly lined but offset page of title on B best, It gives an unease that is intriguing. I like A least because it's not TOTALLY clear (though mostly) whether the title is Mark Home, and the Author's name might be McGinn Truths, though McGinn Truths is sort of a cool name for a writer, and might draw attention though prove difficult when trying to search on line, for this reason I would definitely avoid this, it's going to mess up searches at libraries and Amazon.
• A is VERY unclear. C and B are equal, I just prefer the slightly larger font of C.
• Reading vertically then left to right feels unnatural and I actually read it wrong the first try despite the difference in font hue
• I like Option C the most. It has the most centered text, and the white font over the red font is easier to read than the red and white next to each other. I think Option C is most easiest to read with respect to color scheme, and aesthetically it's the most pleasant to look at because the font is centered so it's easy to read the top half and the lower half of the cover without additional stressors. Option B is also easier to read than option A. However, what makes option B my second favorite option is that the text is not centered. That gave me pause when I read the cover because I was trying to figure out the words, and when the words aren't centered it made me think initially that the book was askew or slightly sideways. So it wasn't as easy to read as option C. It's easier to read than option B because the white font is above the red font which makes the contrast easier to see and provides a greater degree of clarity. Option B was the least easy of the three options for me to read. It has to do with contrast and the location of the text on the cover. The way that the text is situated makes it somewhat unclear what the title of the book and the author of the book are. Initially when I read it I thought that Mark Home was the title and McGinn Truths was the author, but that didn't quite make much sense and so after an initial assessment I figured that the color of the text is what distinguished the two identifiers on the cover and so the author is the red font and the title is the white font. However, that took me much longer to discern than option C especially, because option C creates a clear and unambiguous delineation between the title and the author. Option B does as well. Option A the delineation wasn't as readily apparent and so that momentary confusion before I puzzled out the title and author did indeed make option A less easy to read for me. Consequently, I like option C the most as it was easiest to read, option B second most as it was second easiest to read and option A the least as option A was the most confusing to read. Starting with the red and transitioning to the white on the cover is also somewhat unclear because it doesn't center the title effectively. When I look at a book cover I look at the title first, and for option A the title is not what I first see but rather the first name of the author, and so the syntactic transition between words in terms of how the words are arranged on the cover is somewhat unclear. I think part of it has to do with how in Western literature words are written from left to right, such that when I start at the top left of the cover and move right my mind has to process what I'm seeing because the words aren't arranged in a manner that I'm most familiar with reading and so it gave me pause. That pause meant that it was not as easy to read, and since the question is about what cover is easiest to read option A was not easiest to read compared to the other two covers.
• The font lay out of option C is the best. It’s easiest to read it’s easiest understand and comprehend

This is a 4 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Literary preference (Fiction), Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month), and Amazon Prime member (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I would pick option "B". The book cover looks appealing and unique.
• i would prefer option D because i like the graphics and layout of the information on the book cover feels thrilling just looking at the cover i would want to read the book just judging by the cover
• I like the book cover in option D the best. The cover catches my attention and makes me interested to read more about this book. I feel a sense of tension and excitement from looking at the image.
• I like the covers with the presence of a guy there. It makes it seem more tense. 3 is a little intriguing and 4 seems uncreative and something for kids
• I really love the cover in panel B. I think the blue works very well as opposed to the red. I think that there is a mystery theme here and this cover emphasizes it well.

This is a 5 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction) and Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• Feels like a real underground story.
• I chose C because how true it seems to me.
• I like Option C as it stresses this is non fiction and it peaks my interest to find out more.
• i think option C and A give a bit more of a lead in to the overall tone of the book. injustice and innocence.
• I think that the first saying is not attention getting in options d and c therefore it is more likely to get me to read it.

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

• I think the red and blue color contrast is really eye catching and fits this title perfectly.
• A - The pink just pops for meB - Blue was next eye-popping colorC - passed right over the gold/yellow, doesn't pop
• I like the pink one the best. The blue is ok but the tan is not the best looking.
• I like option A the most because the expletive is highlighted in a very visible color, meaning its eye catching. Option two has that too but yellow is less eyecatching. Option C has the same color throughout the cover so its not eyecatching.
• C looks best to me. The blue text stands out well and goes well with the rest of the book style and the gold label looks more natural

This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month, 1 3 Books/Month) and Small business owner (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Option D I think it would relate more positively than saying "not your job" it sounds negative
• I liked the not your job tagline but chose the option that I felt gave me the most clear target goal
• I would chose option D first because it is simplistic in nature and to the point. Option F was a close second with the same reasons. The rest of the options followed the same way of selecting them. Simplistic and down to earth truth.
• I chose this option because it is very clear and straight to the point . I find it more interesting and eye catching compared to the other options.
• I i will consider buying option A' because it looks very interesting.Option F' has a nice title it tells more about the book and very easy to understand.I also prefer option C' the title is very brief and easy to remember.E' also sound amazing, it makes me curious to find more about the book.I will again choose option B' because the title makes it very interesting to read.D' is my last choice, it sounds good but not that interesting.

This is a 8 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month, 4+ Books/Month) and Small business owner (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Option C is the most visually appealing and grabs your attention more right off the bat. The title is much better as you get right away what you are getting and there is no ambiguity to it. It also lays out the subtitle better and you grasp what is being offered more right away. I like the color better and think it makes the wording stand out more and just plain looks better. I also think it has a more unique and interesting look and would set itself apart more from similar books. Option C would appeal to a wider audience of people and would make them more likely to check deeper into what it has to offer.
• I would provide an honest opinion first. None of the titles are good. I understand the message the book is trying to convey but the titles are not looking professional at all. This books is supposed to be for business leaders who are going to manager various people. It is trying to give a message to people to manage things in a way that they don't have to do extra work and keep the tasks to the point. I get that but the message should be given in a professional manner. There are many good designs you can reference from on the internet. Having said that, here is the feedback I have for the best designs out of the ones you have shared. Option C: It provides the title of the book quite clearly so I have a clear understanding about what I am getting. I like the term "avoid burnout" highlighted in the middle. I as many other face this situation at work or business too. it would be nice to find out some techniques that can help reduce that. There is too much orange in the cover. Maybe it should be a bit on the lighter side. The arrow doesn't really make sense as it does show that maybe the career path is going upward, but it points to "Brantley is a genius" . Its the like the author is trying to praise himself which shouldn't be the case if you need to put some recommendations maybe they should be on the back of the cover. Like they normally are. Options F & D are pretty much similar in design to C but some other terms are highlighted. I liked the way things were in C as those terms are placed in the most optimum manner. F has a weird blue like color same thing goes with G. I don't think this is the color that is the preference of a lot of people. Orange is a more acceptable color as compared to this bluish tone. Options H & A seem to be giving a message to people that they don't have to do their job or they might abruptly use that cover title to talk to people like that saying "its not my job" at work. So no one is going to like that.
• I think all of the bright orange color is really get your attention faster and let you read the text with just a glance.
• Option A is my favorite, I like NOT YOUR JOB as I am usually not good at delegating.
• The cover design in Option A is just simple and nice.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Amazon Prime member (Yes), Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month, 1 3 Books/Month), and Age of children (12 18, 5 11). A sample of responses:

• this one seems more descriptive, and more....mysterious
• B sounds more interesting
• I like the shorter, more succinct title.
• Anytime you have magic as part of a book it tells me that it will stimulate my child’s imagination the most and will be a great read for them
• I picked B because I'm not exactly sure what "Multiverse" is but I do know what "Magic" and "Mystery" are so I would most likely pick that book.
