#TimeTravelAuthors Apr 29: Author's Choice

I'm nowhere near to publishing, but I'm thinking about using this as a cover. Thoughts?

@anderlandbooks Actually really like the title font and not having trouble reading it. Agree with Julie about the author/subtitle font, though—definitely a system font and you'll want to avoid those for design purposes. A simple serif might play nicely against the cursive for the title font. All caps serif is popular currently. Cardio is a nice free one.

@lyssachiavari Thank you! This is highly appreciated!

@anderlandbooks Looks romantic, and I like the concept! I'd definitely play with fonts--ideally, you could read it in a thumbnail, and I think the author/subtitle font looks dated, like I think that font came with my mom's old Mac back AGES ago. (Which in fairness, time travel, but I'd go for something a little different.)

@juliebihn Thank you! I'll most definitely reconsider the fonts.

@anderlandbooks If it fits the themes, a gentle warp of the clock might work.

@anderlandbooks I like it overall, I find it quite striking, but the title font is a little hard to read

Speaking as someone with old eyes and an interest in typography:

Moving the T and C so that they don't overlap would be useful, and might be most of what you need to change if you want to keep the font: turn them back into typography instead of an abstract design... Making that stroke that crosses the lower C a different color than the text would also help. (It might work better if it matched the blue swoosh just below.)

@elysegrasso @wendypalmer Thank you! That is very useful!
