100% #2!! For many of the reasons listed above. It's easier to read than #3, but more pleasing than #1. A perfect compromise between form and function.

I pick #2 easy to read yet more pleasing than with the bar.

Thank you Carol, for providing this platform.
I like both one and two but two is best, I agree, because it is the least cluttered and most inviting.
It strikes a good balance between title clarity and image impact, I think.
Very, very nice.
Best,
Karen

Carol; given the choice of just these two covers, i agree with ceejay's observations..the clarity of the type makes it much easier for my macular eyes to read and there is enough contrast between the type and the photo.....
thx for all of this opportunity for input!

Carol,
I pick #2 . . .
- it is without the bar but the titles are still listed in an easy-to-read manner and they aren't obscuring the picture of MJ
- the picture of MJ doesn't look like it's "squeezed" onto the cover as it does on #1
Thanks for the opportunity!

I was prepared to vote for with the bar until I saw this update. Now I would vote for #2. I like the bar, a more organized look, and we also get to see the photo!

Number 2 has my vote!! Number 1 looks cheap. Number 3 is harder to read. Number 2 allows the person to scan what is in the magazine and keeps the farm girl informal feel. Hope this helps, Barbara

I also was a fan of the bar but love the way #2 is laid out. It still has the feel of the bar, but the clear background makes it even better.

I pick cover número UNO (1) because I can read it the easiest and MJ is showcased all at the same time. On no. 2 it was hard for me to focus on MJ and no. 3 it was hard for me to focus the content. No matter which cover is chosen though, I can' t wait to read the issue!

 I like #2 the best.
In one of your magazines you wrote about paper towels and I believe it was under Simple Solutions. I have been trying to find it again to reread it and don't remember what issue it was in. Is it on the website? |

I agree with #2. It gives you the titles to the side, but doesn't break up the cover with the bar. The cover flows nicely without the words getting all over the photo.

OK, I think #2 is best also...it has the format of the bar without the actual change of background. It works for me

#1 is OUT - I almost thought I'd pick #2, but as I went back to read what the articles would be #3 was more clearly written. I was able to read them quickly while still "seeing" the cover picture. Sorry to throw a wrench into things, but I also liked the scallopped edging under the Title, where it says. . . "the everyday organic lifestyle magazine".
**P.S. I LOVE your magazine so much, I would buy it no matter what** |

I'd go #2 or #3.
I have always loved MJF photos so the more I see, the more I like!

Looks like the majority is saying #2. I agree. Easy to read, I like that the picture is included with the wording on the left. Very easy to read, pleasant to look at.
Also, the font and capital letters are easy to read and bold...they stand out. I like that the color of the words are uniform. Too many different colors make it too 'busy' in the first one.
When and where do I get my copy?
