I'm Just Sitting on a Fence - Great_Paul https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41Tic6c5khL.jpg Originality: 0.5 Aesthetic: 0.5 Story: 0.25 Personal: 4 Average: 1.31 This cover tells the gripping story of a guy just sitting on a fence. Basically, it's virtually impossible to have less of a sense of story than this. You could do a completely blank white cover and it would still have a greater Story score because it would be a statement. But this looks like a bad Yearbook photo, and Dax’s expression gives little hint of his, um, unique personality. He's got a vaguely awkward smile, but it looks like it could just be due to sun in his eyes or something, and it's not anything that rises to the level of actual personality. It also pretty much goes without saying that this isn't a creative concept for a cover. It screams cheap self-publishing, and isn't even bad in a way that makes it unique. It's also an aesthetically poor cover, down to the ugly shade of yellow chosen for the PowerPoint-like presentation, and the photograph manages to even take all color out of the sky, with the most drab surroundings imaginable. It's actually an impressive achievement to find a cover that could score so low in all three of the objective factors. But I am compelled to bump its total score up based on the Personal factor. I don't actually like anything about the cover in terms of its appearance, but it gave me a bit of a laugh not only because of how bad it is, but also because of my familiarity with a couple of his videos, which Paul introduced me to before. But it's difficult for a single picture to capture the essence of DaxFlame. <cite>Jesse_Custer posted [p:877092659] in Jesse Rank...
