Bionic Punchline Cover

Description

This is actually a subtly different cover to the one currently on the book. Essentially, the boxing glove I chose was originally black, and I changed the brightness and colour balance to turn it purple. For this cover, I've tweaked it again in order to make it (hopefully) more identifiable as a boxing glove.

If people could chime in and tell me which they think looks better, I'd be most grateful. Ultimately, I think it boils down to a choice between a natural but dark glove with minimal alteration, or a bold, very purple glove that's more obviously been tampered with. I could even boost the contrast/purpleness further, but my image manipulation skills are fairly minimal and generally my thinking is that the less I fiddle with things, the better.

This one very definitely looks tampered with, but I don't think that's necessarily a problem: it looks deliberately tampered with, and everyone knows that purple-and-glowing looks a great deal more sci-fi than purple-and-subdued. That said, though, I think I still prefer the original cover - if only because the darker version works better with the white background, in my opinion.
