“Getting to Know YOU" PERSONALITY GAME!"...**

Blog Posted:4/7/2016 1:47:00 AM

*think of how it would feel to be an international best- selling poet... you have been asked to finish your first Poetry Collection. The only thing left for you to decide on, is the design of the cover..

What type of visual will you pick for the cover?

A soothing photo taken from some exotic location.

2. A playful cartoonish illustration or some fun images.

3.An abstract pattern; one that will make people think.

4. picture of yourself.

Here is where the fun starts:

Depending on which graphic you choose you will reveal your personality.

Write the number of your choice in a comment below and I will reveal your personality.

After there have been a good few responses I will post the results.

At last: THE RESULTS

1. soothing scene--exotic location:
~ you see yourself as a caring, gentle person who always has kind words for all.. it's hard to imagine how someone could be more sensitive than you.. just be careful not to put a wall around you that doesn't let anything get through you when you hide some pain.. just let you guard down and show people your vulnerable points.. they love you any which way--gentle or distraught!

2. fun, cartoonish design:
~ you are sociable, animated, and fun to be around...and you know it!.. sometimes though , you may tend to be a bit flighty and become carried away by the moment.. being able to make people laugh is an asset; make sure you are laughing with them , not at them... the former is your more loveable side!

3. abstract pattern--one that makes people think:
~you take good effort to express your natural creativity and talent to the world... your originality is recognized though sometimes, in moments of stubbornness, you may refrain to work with others who may not see your point...a balance of appreciating your own genius and other people’s own way of expression is the golden rule...

4. A picture of yourself:
~ you take the straightforward approach, saying, "this is me, take me as I am", and you see that simple honesty is your strong feature... though this sincerity is done in a good light, it can be a sign of being quite a unshakeable-- "take me for who I am."... a happy compromise, some bending of a stern will can do you good.. people really want to see your best side.

The collection is going pretty well, I've written hundreds of haiku ... maybe one day I'll try and make it an eBook. Who knows!

Timothy Hicks
Date: 4/8/2016 8:54:00 PM

So according to this I'm gentle and kind ... interesting. I always figured I was halfway crazy ... glad to know that others think differently ... lol!

Dragon and I would choose the fun, cartoonish design... I can't imagine why...LOL...

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:35:00 PM

Dragons are always fun and eye catching.

I'm laughing. Okay, the cover should depend on the subject or theme of the book. So none of the above, unless I have written 150 poems on soothing nature, cartoons, abstract art which uses patterns or an entire book about me... many poetry books do include a tiny pic of the poet on the back cover, like Charmaine said. Sometimes, the cover art also echoes the title. Say, hmmm, "Tied up in String." It may have a photo of a vine wrapped around barbed wire... Now, if the blog said what flavour of icecream... lol... that I could have answered. Hee hee.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:29:00 PM

Cyndi! Hi, : I like your idea about the vine on barbed wire.....edgy. Well at least you are visualizing - the first step in making a dream come true.

Cyndi Macmillan
Date: 4/8/2016 6:29:00 AM

Or... a plain paper box tied up with fiber optic cables against a black background would also be interesting. AWK... lol... now I'm thinking of covers! Too fun!

Hi, Suz.... 2 before 3... i don't see number 1 fitting my poetry.... Number 4 is out of the question. I don't think anybody would buy it if I had a picture of myself, unless I was super famous. ;)... fun blog. Linda

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:33:00 PM

Makes us think about it at least. My only time published we were asked to design a cover page. I made a collage of a woman sitting on a fence with a skyline of clouds behind her. My title, " Her Head was always in the Clouds." Mum was always saying it about me.

Charmaine
Chircop

Date: 4/7/2016 4:33:00 PM

1 in the front ...and a small picture of myself in the back along with a short bio...That would be number 4. I love going for semi-abstract,but not complete abstract then . : ) Nice blog.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:39:00 PM

Semi- abstract is good. I think a photo put a face to a name and makes a reader feel closer. SuZ

yipers.. i am a 3 and quite on the dot, suz... please keep this to yourself, lol.. huggs

Ha ha Nette: you are mischievous but sweet. Thanks for playing along. Nhuggs

Casarah
Nance

Date: 4/7/2016 1:20:00 PM

I'm working on a collection and my cover is none of the above. but the abstract of #3 would be the most fitting to me and my works

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:42:00 PM

Good Luck with choosing your cover design. I am sure you will come up with the perfect one.b

Suzanne
Delaney

Date: 4/7/2016 1:18:00 PM

The results are up. Please FEEL free to add your ideas even though though the reveal is posted. I hope someday to see you all published and displaying covers on the Soup. Good Luck in all your endeavors and thanks for playing along with this bit of fun. SuZ

Tudor

#1 (sand dunes)...perhaps thinly bordered by an appropriate #3 extending #3 around to the back cover, and inserting a small #4 in the bottom right-hand corner!? If given just one, then #1. I do not have these aspirations however.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:43:00 PM

Sand dunes are soothing. You never know. SuZ

Carrie
Richards

Date: 4/7/2016 12:17:00 PM

I am inclined to pick #1, for the serene, or more serious poems I've written, however, as it was said below, it would depend on the type of collection I was putting together. Perhaps the abstract would be more appropriate for a multi- mixed selection, that included serious, light-hearted, and humorous poetry. :) I wouldn't choose a picture of myself as a cover, unless it was part of a tiny bio on the back of the cover.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:44:00 PM

So many choices. You will know the right one to choose. You have good insight and instincts.v

Suzanne
Delaney

Date: 4/7/2016 11:51:00 AM

Good Morning Every one: I like all of your replies and I do agree with Craig that I wouldn't put my photo on a front cover. I would be more inclined to choose a cover based on the style of poems and have a small Author photo on the back cover. I like Tim's suggestion for a collection of Haikus. Somehow I knew what Ruben's choice would be ...lol so come back later and I will post the reveal in the main body of the Blog.

Anthony
Mark

Date: 4/7/2016 11:43:00 AM

DEFINATELY number 4, the others are boring, can't beat a bit of self publication....and 4 on the back with a 60 page bio.....??

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:46:00 PM

Ha ha We are looking for your best side. SuZ

Anthony Mark
Date: 4/8/2016 12:05:00 PM

Am I the only one vain and egotistical enough to self proclaim, that what's inside the book covers , pales into insignificance with what happens between the covers...lol...nice blog

Daniel
Turner

Date: 4/7/2016 7:55:00 AM

My first answer is none of the above but if I had to choose one it would probably be the first photo. I say that because it looks more like something one would see on a book of poetry, sort of inspirational.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:49:00 PM

Thanks Daniel: I think some editors will tell you they know best but for self publishing go with what feels right I guess.

Jan
Allison

Date: 4/7/2016 4:47:00 AM

I adore the calming bluebell woods image but would have to go with a humourous image so it would be 2 ... but of course it does depend what type of book you are writing:-) hugs jan xx

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:56:00 PM

Thanks Jan: your humor always shines through.

Mark
Woods

Date: 4/7/2016 4:09:00 AM

Probably number 2 or some cartoon character super imposed onto a number 1 landscape.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:55:00 PM

I like that idea. Mix it up.

Charlotte
Puddifoot

Date: 4/7/2016 4:05:00 AM

3 would be my choice, though i do like 1...i predict mainly 1 and 3 answers because poets are generally very visual

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:54:00 PM

Prediction was spot on. Thanks, Charlotte.

Stephen
Pennell

Date: 4/7/2016 3:45:00 AM

1. Bias love bluebell woods looking forward to a walk in a months time

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:53:00 PM

Enjoy our spring. Nothing like blue flowers.

Timothy
Hicks

Date: 4/7/2016 3:21:00 AM

I would pick Number 1. My brother took a really cool photo of some train tracks in an old logging town one time, and the very moment I saw it, I thought: "That looks like a cover for a haiku book." .... curious about the results!

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:52:00 PM

Sounds perfect Tim: How's the collection coming?

Rob
Carmack

Date: 4/7/2016 2:22:00 AM

Interesting and useful blog Suzanne. I would choose the abstract, #3.

Suzanne Delaney
Date: 4/8/2016 4:51:00 PM

Good one, Rob
