Which image is better?

[Morrus]

For a Kickstarter header. One book or five? I like that 5 books shows a range, but one book looks cleaner and more elegant.

Five for me.

I bid a fiver...

Give a visual focus on the main book first, otherwise things could look cluttered.

I’d say 5 but I’m not crazy about the layout in the image shown.

The first one makes it look like a bad photoshop job of making the T Rex hold the book in its mouth.

Between the two, I prefer the second one, but it would be better if all the books had the same orientation.

The cover art of the robot and...dino cop(?) itself is good, is there a reason not to just use it as it is?

5 book. One might look better if the angle was adjusted tho.

 

[MGibster]

5 looks better for some reason. But I have the aesthetic sense of a brick.

 

[el-remmen]

Let me voice the minority opinion. I think one looks better, though I would consider a version like that one but with the other four books partially sticking out from underneath so you see a little bit of each (the word to describe that imbricated, like shingles).

For sure, one looks better, but from a practical point of view, it’s more likely that the first picture someone sees will attract interest if it shows a setting that that viewer is interested in. That is more likely with the five.
