Well - working on color/mood combinations - blue is generally considered a 'down' mood - think Blue Monday, I've got the blues etc. Calming and soothing colors are towards the green end of the spectrum, while the energizing colors are the oranges and reds. I agree you don't want red - too jarring! But a 'warm' green will be great.
Patrice Palmer, OCELT, MEd MA I like the clean look of your original brain image with a white background. However if you are looking to have color I think I prefer the light green one. The brain image is perfect, so I would not change that for another image.
Here are the first few pages with my new topic (I changed it a few days ago) to better reflect my interest in teacher well-being. I learned today that well-being is spelled with a hyphen in Canadian English. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwo_ITamV68qbWdacEUzT0w5bUk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwo_ITamV68qbWdacEUzT0w5bUk/view?usp=sharing
Hi everyone! I'm an ELT writer, based in Ecuador. I've had more than 25 books published, mostly primary course books, but also secondary and adult. This will be my third iTDi course so far this year and I really hope to end up with an ebook, after planning for so long to do this. I'm looking forward to working with you all and to learning from Dorothy.
Introudcing the work and creating a kind of attention grabber is a very important step in writing I guess. So, here is a little piece I Wrote sometime ago. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByjDsaE1H6epbWdMYjVZYjlhS2c/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByjDsaE1H6epbWdMYjVZYjlhS2c/view?usp=sharing
I'm not so sure about the background color - a bit dull? Maybe a green or orange would be better?
ReplyDeleteI was trying to go with a calming look/feel.

ReplyDeleteYes! Top one, I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteFor me the second green cover is more soothing. I love the brain image, btw!
ReplyDeleteTks. The image is from Pixabay.
ReplyDeleteI love the second green cover. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. 2 for the bottom green, one for the top. I think I like the second one too.
ReplyDeleteThe first one looks a bit garish, but that's subjective, because I dislike that colour anyway! The second seems calmer. Maybe check with more people?
ReplyDeleteBottom green for me, but then green is my favourite colour
ReplyDeleteI found another image that I like better.
