US Cover: It's actually pretty interesting because the US and UK covers are similar but at the same time polar opposites of each other. The US cover has a darker color scheme and it just seems like it's aimed at an older audience. It's an intriguing cover, but at the same time I think it could easily get glanced over in a bookstore because of the dark color scheme and lack of clarity in the images.
UK Cover: Wow this cover is so much brighter than the US one! I can definitely sense the younger vibe here from all the doodles and what not. I love the way the title just pops out at you and the color scheme is really eye catching! Plus the tagline is great. I wonder why they didn't they put that tagline on the US cover too? I think it's fascinating that they chose to use the same boy/girl image for both covers. I think it was used a bit better in the US cover just because its easier to notice the fuzziness of the image on the UK cover.
So who wins? This is a tough decision because I really like both covers! They're both great but for different reasons and I think it's pretty obvious that the two covers are going after a different audience the US one being an older audience and the UK one being a younger audience. That being said I have to call this one a tie! I like the maturity of the US cover but at the same time I love the "fun" quality of the UK cover. It just can't choose.

One last thing: It has come to my attention that some people have taken the liberty of doing their own Cover Comparisons. This is fantastic but if you do decide to do a Cover Comparison PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CREDIT ME. I know this might sound selfish and what not but I created this idea and the name and I just don't want people to steal it. It's like my baby. <3 So if you want to do your own Cover Comparison by all means do a Cover Comparison! Just PLEASE say something like "Cover Comparison was originated by Julia @ That Hapa Chick!" Thanks guys!

I like the UK cover waaay better. I just like that it's so bright and colorful. The US one just looks so somber and serious. I'd pick up the UK before the US off the shelves in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the UK cover! The US cover looks bland to me, and too dark. I'd probably overlook it at the library or a book store. The UK cover really pops. It's funky and creative!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the US cover because it gives you a feeling of techy-ness. And that F! That F definitely reminds us of facebook. The UK cover looks really retro and colorful and it doesn't give me the idea that this will be a novel about Internet/facebook.
ReplyDeleteI have to choose the US cover .. It intrigues me much more than the UK's mostly because it's darker as you said :) !!
ReplyDeleteGreat post !!
