This cover was made to direct the eye to the "This is Your College". The original critique was that it had become to busy (the blue design). The other with arrows was weak and looked incomplete. I might consider changing the photos perhaps more active.

I like this better, the images are clear and upbeat. They give direction. The emphasis is "This is your college" The color helps to pop the images. It keeps the simplicity of the original image without being boring or lacking.

What is wrong with this? I took a little direction with this and i kinda of like it.

better

Not sure how I feel about this...

Balance is oriented to draw you across the page and helps to anchor the composition without making it static.
Alignment is "aligned", the font used was chosen specifically to help with the flush left.
Flow drops thru the composition gently and provides a place for repetitive words to hold on to without letting Repetition overpower.
Contrast is whimsical and provides a good visual of the concept.
