The black background is sleeker and more striking than the blue one. I like it!

I really like the contrast of the parchment color on black.

DEFINITELY A... when showing them side-by-side, you've gotta show the products to-scale or (sooner or later) you'll upset buyers.

The black background is classier than the blue, even though blue is the traditional map color for water.

Nothing is being obscured in A, so I like that best.

The contract of the colors is better in the image so the map pops out more. Also, the flags at the bottom are smaller so it doesn't compete for attention with the map like in Option B.

I like the darker colors on choice A.

i like the black on gold

This was a very difficult decision. However, I decided to go with Choice A because items are separated in the photograph and are not pushed together as they are in Choice B. Choice A allowed me to see every part of every item whereas with Choice B, there is some overlapping, which hides some of the item.

The showing of both maps in almost full size is nice

The blue is off putting, we know the ocean is blue

I chose A because I like the pink over the black. Looks upscale and classy.

The blue colors for the oceans add a lot of appeal.

I like the map with the blue water because it's more realistic.

I like the colors and the way the products are placed on B's page. A looks to much like a strict school layout :)

dark looks boring and not positive. Such gift won't be nice. I like blue background

the color is alive and appealing to the eyes. The color gives emphasis to the continents.

I like the ocean blue in B. It gives the poster a more lively look.

I like the blue coloring surrounding the countries as it looks like water. The design looks great on both of them, kids would love this.

The blue helps me display the product a little easier- It fits in with more decor that I have as opposed to looking like a black wall art.

I like the blue and gold better than the black and gold. The blue and gold stands out better and looks classier (in my opinion).

i prefer the design of B, I really like the blue background

The blue color for the oceans looks fantastic - rich and pleasant to the eye. A definite plus!

The gradations in blue draw yhe eye more

I prefer the blue background option because it appears a little more realistic looking. The blue coloration reminds me of the oceans.

I personaly prefer product B. The blue makes it look more realistic while still maintaining a premium feel and look. The arrangement of the products in choice B also make the product look better

I like to see how its rolled up, helps me understand how its stored

I like choice B since the background color of the ocean looks more natural.

I like the color on the map. It gives some realistic contrast of the water to the land.

If find brighter colors appeal to my eyes better than darker.

I like the color in option B, it is lively to look at, Option A is much more stark and neutral.

The blue represents water. The black color representing water doesn't seem natural.

I think I like the added detail that the blue background provides on this option.

I like Choice B. Personally, I think the dark blue is more aesthetically pleasing over the black, and represents a classic globe/map better. I feel like the black option is a bit too dark, and you lose a lot of the finer details, such as the grid pattern.

I like the blue color to represent the oceans around the land

Putting all of the articles together gives a better ideal of the relative sizes of the products and I like the blue better than black (easier to read).

The colors on this map make it stand out a lot more.

The color contrast is better for B, and more staged to show everything you will get.

Looks like it required more effort. Staged photos always make a consumer want to see more

on the blue one you can see the longitude and latitude of the lines rather than the pure black color.

I like choice b more as it seems more natural since the color of the areas that would have water is blue and not black in color.

I like the blue water in this choice. It gives a little color to the map and makes it more enjoyable to interact with.

I really like the picture in B. The color is just alive. By having it blue, it really does make a big difference

I love the blue color! It is so eye catching and beautiful. It makes everything on the page stand out.

I like how the water looks more realistic.

I absolutely love the blue color to the water and I think that it looks perfect with the tan color of the countries.

The dark blue looks really nice and represents oceans better.

I like B with the blue...looks more realistic like the ocean ;)

I like the blue for the water.

I prefer the brighter, blue color background of Choice B. The gradient affect in the background is also more appealing as it looks more expensive.
