I think it’s a clean, elegant design that tells the story. How do you show some exciting rocket hardware on a book jacket without favoring any one project or builder? That’s how. The designers had a tough assignment and I think they pretty much aced it. Also, all that big print should show up well on Bigelow’s space module. What do you think?

Elegant, indeed. Plus, they snuck the good ol’ red-white-and-blue theme. The sub-title works well, too.
Sorry, but I don’t think it’s a clean design. Too much eyecandy. Nice Photo, but cheesy typo.
I think it’s pretty good. I’m not crazy about the texture and drop shadow effect, but taken as a whole, as a gestalt, it works well and I think it’s attractive.

Hi Michael, I think it looks great, my only suggestion would be to make “How a visionary..” etc to be more readable.. the font style is difficult to read for my eyes. I can read it, but it requires more focus and it is a little frustrating so changing people’s opinion about the product. Marketing of my own products showed me that the first impressions with the very few details people know decides between buying or ignoring it.
whose rocket is that?
I have no idea what rocket that is–but that’s a good thing; we don’t want to favor any one program or developer on the cover.
