I’m considering doing t-shirts and mugs for promotional usage, like give aways on my up coming blog book tour in May.
Would you want a mug with this image on it?
Jack - Black on white
Or how about this one?
Jack - white on Black
Which would you prefer?
I think either image would make drinking coffee an adventure in intensity. How about just doing the name of your book, or a quote from it, using the same typeface?
Thanks Kris! Will think about that one.
If I had to choose, I’d go with the white on black for a t-shirt. For a mug, I’d choose neither. I’m with Kris, I’d go with name of book & possibly a quote. If you put the face on a t-shirt, I’d still put book title on it, too.

I think both might be a bit scary first thing in the morning! Of the two, I prefer the second.

The second, I think. The subject matter is dark, so the second gives a mostly dark background.

If I HAD to choose I’d take the white on black one. But I like them both.
Image 1, black on white. Definitely.
Thanks guys! You’ve given me loads to think about.
Joan,
Depends on what feel you’re going for. The first one feels dark/creepier to me than the second. I’m not sure I’d be willing to reach for that cup first thing in the morning. The second is also dark, but somehow I think I pick it up to investigate those eyes a bit further. I wouldn’t drink morning coffee from it, though.
I would include the book title on all promotional items – your name as well, if it fits.

Thanks Charlotte!
I like the second one… sorry I’m late.. been busy in the land of edits 😀
