Anyone for dirty chicken? — Typophile archive

Hello

My name is Siaron Hughes, and I'm a graphic designer. I re-trained by studying
a Graphics MA at London College of Communication 2006-2007, gaining a Distinction.
I'm having a book published, and it will be in the shops in mid-Feb. The subject
is on the rhetoric of fast food and dirty chicken shops.

Published by www.markbattypublisher.com/ in NYC.

I'd be really grateful for any feedback or advise on my book, please see some
spreads below.

Many thanks
Siaron

Normally, when I look at book covers from a far (at bookstore racks, for example), I focus on the visual/image/logo first. As I get closer, my eyes definitely scans from top-left to bottom-right.

You could try putting the book's title below the logo, IMHO.
Without aligning it to the image's curve.

Your logo's outmost outline is bolder than the book title.
I found that a bit distracting.
Try blurring your eye while looking at your attached image. :)
