Someone worked up an alternative ad... which do you like better?

The second looks a bit clunky.

I prefer #2. The text styles seem more tightly linked to each other, the product images are bigger, and it hides the pagoda in the background which really distracts the eye away from the content of the ad in #1.

I think #2 does a better job of emphasising the fact that you have print books avalible. Actually it made me think "Are they going to let me have anythign print on demand?" I even visitied the site to see if you added that feature. (Though I already visit anyway an at least once a week or so).

#1 is a more generic ad, but still fun.

Well only products taht the publishers WANT to upload a high res version of will actually be in print. But yes, it's as easy as them uploading a new version and setting a price!

I have activated the code and you can now browse and search for only print products if you like.

We'll be making a big announcment later this week, I'm just sort of doing a quiet launch to make sure everything is working and to make sure our printer does what they promise.

I tend to like the second more....

The second one is better. There's a more focused feel to the design -- the eye picks up on "RPGNow.com", "Books", and "The Power of Choice" right away; whereas the text is much more, ah, confused in the first one. Plus, in #2 the book covers form a very strong line that really draws your attention; the covers are sort of lost in #1.

Cheers
Nell.
