Which one do you most want to read?

  1. Hmmmm…

    What will the whole book look like, as an object?

    I voted for No. 2, because I was imagining it as the jacket of a hardcover book, or as printed on a heavy, toothy matte paper. But I wasn’t surprised to see No. 3 in the lead. I think this is a function of the visual environment people are seeing it in, though. I think small images on a website have a different effect than an image seen as part of the overall piece. I think it might be sort of an apples/oranges situation trying to get an opinion this way.

  2. I would pick number three because it has a look of infinity about it…no borders make it more enticing.

  3. In the thumbnail format I like #1 best because it looks like you are entering a much larger place, but in the full size #3 is hands down my favorite.

  4. I like #1 the best. It looks as if the boy is riding into the book itself. Though all three are lovely.
