Tour Divide Book Cover Ideas

My book about riding the 2014 Tour Divide is getting closer to completion. While the writing took a lot of work, the editing processing has proved to be even tougher.

I guess I’m a better rider than a writer 🙂

I’m also a better rider than a graphic artist. So, I’d like your feedback on the initial book cover ideas. All of these were generated using Canva, a great online tool to quickly layout ideas.

All five contain a picture from the ride as a background. Initially, I wanted to go with an illustration. As I played around with designed, I found myself preferring the ones with actual pictures.

All five also have the same title – A Dream Worth Living. Kind of my play on words with the phrase “living the dream” as well as my feeling that dreams are worth the effort.

All five also have the same author believe it or not. And I think I managed to spell my name correctly on all five covers.

Other than the title and author, all details are up for feedback – font styles, sub-title, colors, alignment, font colors, image filters, anything.

Here are the five, in no particular order. Click on the image for a larger view.
