- Pie chart labels are too small. - I don’t like the thick partial border around the work segment—makes it look like a clock, which is perhaps deliberate as it’s gesturing at time—but I look at it and think ‘this is a book about 5 o’ clock’. - I don’t like The Cornerstone Press label going vertically, and I’m unsure of how it relates to the Penguin logo. - I think ‘that does good’ is a bit of a flat subtitle. Too vague. I much prefer the wording on the site: ridiculously in-depth is ballsy, and I like it! That should be on the cover. - I would’ve tried for an endorsement from a more mainstream figure in society, like a celebrity or something… I don’t know, Stephen Fry? Lex Friedman? Rutger Bregman is very known in EA, I’m not sure how known outside of EA, and since he’s written a book on a similar topic, one might see that and think ‘why should I read both?’
Also the link to the alternative design doesn’t work.
Learning of this book launch also has me wondering: how is this book different to Moral Ambition or the HIP playbook?
Anyway, there’s my tuppence worth. Are you asking because the cover is still editable? Congratulations on the launch!
