Something About You by Julie James
A Wolf in Wolf's Clothing by Deobrah MacGillivray
Well, I still don't think I've mastered seamless color changes like those in these two covers so I'm always fascinated by these, I want to be this good, blue to pink or pink to blue, I wonder which is the original! Anyhow I prefer Something About You, we get a (almost) full picture. A Wolf in Wolf's Clothing is too much blue and how the picture is cropped almost suffocates it.
Have you spotted a Lookalike you would like to contribute? Send me an email!
I think that a wolf in wolf's clothing would be better if the title block was under the picture...or if they title & author name were both above it. As you say its a bit suffocating with the picture in the middle. So I'm with you on this one in preferring Something About You
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look just a little bit different to me - look at his arm. I'm not crazy about either cover.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the first cover. What a dress! I wish that I could pull than one off. I agree that the other is too blue and cropped too tightly.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Bermudaonion- The cut of her dress looks slightly different. I wonder if one of the graphic designers added a bit more dress in, and edited it a bit!
ReplyDeleteYuck, don't like the second one at all.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the authors think when this happens, or don't they know? I think it would freak me out that my cover looked like another book's (or several other books!) I guess the cover designers have been downsized at publishers, along with other staff, but odd because the cover is SO important to many readers (and potential buyers!)
ReplyDeleteI think it's actually two different pictures! Not only are the dress cuts different, but I was looking at the placement of the man's hands. Definitely close though, especially because he's wearing a gray suit in both!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, I think it is two pictures, probably shot very closely together. But still, I am so interested in the color change, I think it's the same outfits, but re-colored!
ReplyDeleteThey're two different photos, though possibly from the same shoot.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Something About You is a better overall design because we see more of the image (though I'm soooo sick of cropped-out heads), but I'm completely distracted by the poor fit of the dress. If they'd used the other photo in that design, it would be much better.
