It wasn't easy finding the best. We met different designers who claimed they'd wow us with their designs if we give them a trial.

Typing...

Unfortunately, we wasted money trying to find the best. Finally, we found him. Though, he's expensive, but he gives a clean, catchy, and simple design.

Typing...

At this moment, he has done at least 5 of our designs. I'll show the chat between us that led to this design.

Typing...

At the end, we'd want you to choose the one you think is better. Below is the chat, then the design.

Image 1 (1 of 10 images)

So, ladies and gentlemen, which one do you think is better or looks more enticing to YOU, the buyer?

None.... Prefer the one you sent to the graphics designer on how the spelling should be(The letters layout was okay, the issue with it the colour blend) . The f*ck in the others is too conspicuous

I designed the one I sent him, but I want someone who specialized in graphics to redo it. I don't want to be a jack of trades anymore. He is the 4th designer I hired and his work is the only one that impressed me. I still still prefer his to mine. So, choose one.

Why can't you just spell 'fúck' correctly?
You don't have to censor the word. Looks a tad bit puerile.
Adults are the ones reading it, not toddlers.

No. The intention is not to censor it, but double the attention it gets. In a bookshelf, F*CK will draw more attention than FÙCK. It's a psychological thing. I won't talk about it today. So, which one do you prefer?

option B

The arrangement on the first catches the eye faster
If you use the first design but make the font color black and the f* red like the second, it would be nice

there is a reason why although porn makes billions no porn company is called FÙCK. the biggest is called Bangbros and Xvideos is not callled SexVideos. sex sells better when its not overtly labelled. if people cant say the name of your book/site in public without attracting people's stares it wont go anywhere. just look at the name of porn sites: teamskeet, digital playground, hustler....none are explicit. you have to look at this broadly. how will a person view it in public? or if its a book carry it in public? even condoms have discrete names. thats class.even the biggest pornst@rs dont have explict names. dont think with the dick, think with the head.

That's true, but I wouldn't want to bother him. I have given him two other designs to do. I'm even glad he reduced his normal payment from 6k to 2k per design.

I forgot to add something. The reason you don't like his design was caused my me.

The first work he did for me, I didn't like it. He used a fancy font — which is good for the genre, but I told him to redesign it and instructed him on what I want.

He was angry with me. Maybe, he thought I was trying to teach his work. After the fight, someone settled us and he started doing it the way I like — which is: simple, clean, classy, mature, catchy, and not more than 2 colors.

The first image below was the first work he did for me, but I didn't like it. After our misunderstanding, he implemented what I told him and got the second cover below. So, it's my fault. Put the blame on me — he's a great designer. If I show the ones other designers did for me, you go laff taya.

Nice one. @Bold is key. Conceal it and let them unravel it with a little hint. Subtle code. Good point.

Ask him for his opinion. Whatever he tells you go with it. He's been doing book cover for top guys in the industry in and outside the country trust his judgement

Change the models to hot and sexy African american couples.

Nice idea, but you need to consider the monetary aspect. 90% of the buyers are oyibo men. Some of them can be...fill in the blank. From your name, it seems you're a graphic designer too. Am I right?
