Help Us Choose the Cover for our Next Kids’ Album

Over on Facebook, we asked our Sovereign Grace Music fans to help us pick the idea for our next kids’ album, Walking with Wise. The technology didn’t quite work the way we hoped, so we thought we’d try again on WorshipMatters.

First, a little info. As the title suggests, this album will be 13 songs based on the book of Proverbs, with titles like Lazy Bones, A Cheerful Heart, To Tell the Truth, and Trust in the Lord. We try to aim our kids’ albums at  a 6-10 year old audience, although we’ve been told that older and younger children, and even parents, enjoy them, too. Since we’re aware that not every 6-10 year old who will be singing these songs has actually trusted in Christ and turned from their sins, most of the songs are more instructional in nature and are meant to teach truth as well as express a heart to follow the Lord. We also try to weave in the centrality of Christ and the gospel so that the songs don’t end up simply encouraging a moralistic response. You know, “Just do the right things and you’ll be a Christian.”

We’re currently a little over half way through recording the vocals, which is taking place in Gaithersburg, MD, Orlando, FL, and Minneapolis, MN. Steve Cook and Ben Gowell are co-producing the project, with Sara Groves’ rhythm section providing the musical foundation. And the tracks are sounding great.

Here’s where you come in. I’d like you (and any kids in your family or that you know) to vote on which cover idea our designer, Matt Wahl, should keep working on. After voting on one cover, feel free to leave any comments on how you think it might be improved.

Lord willing, the album will be ready in mid-June.

And if you haven’t heard our other kids’ CDs, you should check out Awesome God and last year’s CD, To Be Like Jesus.

Now vote away!

UPDATE (5-20-10): Thanks for all the comments! It was a pretty close contest between Comp #1 and #3. We ended up going with a revision of Comp #1. You’ll be seeing it in the not too distant future. Thanks again!

    I also like #1

  6. Jen L. April 12, 2010 at 4:13 PM #

    I like #3 the best.

  7. Millard April 12, 2010 at 4:13 PM #

    #1 :)

  8. Amber Harrington April 12, 2010 at 4:13 PM #

    While I like that 1 has more color, 3 is my favorite overall.

  9. Cyndi Connah April 12, 2010 at 4:13 PM #

    I like #3!

  10. Jon Bennett April 12, 2010 at 4:13 PM #

    #1. It’s more practical for kids.

  11. NATALIE VAUGHAN April 12, 2010 at 4:15 PM #

    #1 :)

  12. Mark Peiffer April 12, 2010 at 4:16 PM #

    #1 hands down. I would tweak the design somewhat though, but I’m not quite sure what I’d do.

  13. Dave P April 12, 2010 at 4:17 PM #

    I vote 1!

  14. Anonymous April 12, 2010 at 4:17 PM #

    I like #2

  15. Angie April 12, 2010 at 4:17 PM #

    I like #1 for colorfulness, but I like #3 overall for design.

  16. Cindy Soto April 12, 2010 at 4:20 PM #

    I like # 2

  17. Kayla S. April 12, 2010 at 4:20 PM #

    #1 it looks great and its very ‘kid’ish:)

  18. Stephanie April 12, 2010 at 4:20 PM #

    MOST DEFINITELY #3

  19. Benjamin April 12, 2010 at 4:22 PM #

    Number 1!

  20. Tricia April 12, 2010 at 4:22 PM #

    #1 hands down. Colorful and fun!

  21. Randy Rennert April 12, 2010 at 4:22 PM #

    tHE FiRSt oNe lOoKS fUn! dAtS mY VoTE!! :>)

  22. KrisMN April 12, 2010 at 4:24 PM #

    Numero UNO (#1)

  23. Johanna April 12, 2010 at 4:25 PM #

    #1!!

  24. Shannon April 12, 2010 at 4:28 PM #

    #3

  25. Johnny April 12, 2010 at 4:31 PM #

    #2 by a mile

  26. Julie April 12, 2010 at 4:31 PM #

    I vote for #1…very cheery and fun to look at! It’ll catch a kid’s eye faster!

  27. Caitlin April 12, 2010 at 4:32 PM #

    #1! it’s great!

  28. Jeff April 12, 2010 at 4:33 PM #

    #1 Looks like it matches better with the previous SG Kids CD.

  29. Ann Wu April 12, 2010 at 4:33 PM #

    son picked #1
    i like #3

  30. Ele April 12, 2010 at 4:35 PM #

    Number 3!

  31. MaryAnn Shirey April 12, 2010 at 4:44 PM #

    I vote for # 3

  32. dave fournier April 12, 2010 at 4:46 PM #

    number 2 with more little shoes and all the eye-catching colors of number 1!

  33. Devin April 12, 2010 at 4:53 PM #

    I vote comp #1

  34. Rebekah April 12, 2010 at 4:54 PM #

    I like #3 the best.

  35. Paul Cain April 12, 2010 at 5:01 PM #

    #3 speaks to growing up in Christ, growing into music from the whole life of the Christian church, rather than growing out of cotton candy ditties.

  36. Joel Harris April 12, 2010 at 5:03 PM #

    I have to say #2. Number one is nice, but it’s just not as easy to read… maybe it could be improved and I would like it better. Number three is cute, but doesn’t communicate the concept of walking with the wise as clearly as #2. Visually, #2 is clean and cool. But I understand why people like one.

  37. Elisabeth April 12, 2010 at 5:05 PM #

    I would pick #3 but with more colors like #1

  38. ashley floyd April 12, 2010 at 5:06 PM #

    love the colors of #1 but I would choose #3 because it is children’s music and i think the format and font of it make it more reader friendly for children to be able to read independantly. :) Can’t wait!!!!

  39. Anna April 12, 2010 at 5:07 PM #

    I vote comp 1 too – just think it’s the most striking and attractive overall design.

  40. Kris April 12, 2010 at 5:14 PM #

    I like the message of No 2, but the design of No 3.

  41. Bonnie April 12, 2010 at 5:14 PM #

    I like the fact that #1 is so colorful, but I think #2 is a great design to fit the theme/title. So my vote is for #2.

  42. Connie Reynolds April 12, 2010 at 5:21 PM #

    #3

  43. Jennifer C. April 12, 2010 at 5:22 PM #

    my 3 year old picked #2 – she said “the shoes! the shoes!”

    I think it would be better with more solid color in some way.

  44. Didi Keppel April 12, 2010 at 5:38 PM #

    number one! :)

  45. Kelly April 12, 2010 at 5:42 PM #

    I like 2 because at’s easy to read one is colorful for kids maybe if you made the shoes bright colors

  46. Cesar Vigil-Ruiz April 12, 2010 at 5:43 PM #

    #3!

  47. Tanya April 12, 2010 at 5:43 PM #

    #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  48. Vanessa April 12, 2010 at 5:49 PM #

    #1

  49. Julia April 12, 2010 at 5:52 PM #

    Number 3, but with more color.

  50. KarenE April 12, 2010 at 6:03 PM #

    I like #3 – it seems to depict most accurately what the theme actually is.

  51. becky April 12, 2010 at 6:11 PM #

    #3 – makes me think of wisdom, cause he’s walking in someone’s shoes who is bigger than him (perhaps his dad!?)

  52. Deborah April 12, 2010 at 6:12 PM #

    I vote for #3.
    My 12 yo boy says #3
    10 yo boy says #1
    7 yo boy says #2
    6 yo boy says #1

  53. Sharon Owen April 12, 2010 at 6:15 PM #

    In my humble opinion i think #1 although i might be tempted to vote #3 if it was more colourful. Can’t wait til mid-june!

  54. Fauna April 12, 2010 at 6:17 PM #

    #1

  55. Grace C. April 12, 2010 at 6:18 PM #

    Number 1 if you clarify the text flow better. The “with the” gets lost because it is small, narrow, and dark.

    Otherwise, Number 3. It can run as it is successfully, I think. Although you may consider adding some expression to the kid.

  56. emily April 12, 2010 at 6:20 PM #

    #3 :)

  57. Andrew K April 12, 2010 at 6:43 PM #

    Number 2 is my choice.

    The first is certainly colourful, but to me, doesn’t say anything about the ‘walking’.

  58. becca April 12, 2010 at 6:46 PM #

    #1 definitely. :)

  59. Jonathan Reid April 12, 2010 at 6:54 PM #

    My 7 yr old says # 2

  60. Lisa April 12, 2010 at 7:04 PM #

    I like the colors on #1, but would struggle to read the title if I didn’t already know what it said. I do like #2, but not sure of the kid appeal. #3 with more color could work too.

  61. don g April 12, 2010 at 7:08 PM #

    #1! They’re all great, though.

  62. Laura April 12, 2010 at 7:09 PM #

    # 1 =)

  63. Donna M. Banks April 12, 2010 at 7:14 PM #

    #3 as it is a great image of growing into wisdom

  64. Rob April 12, 2010 at 7:39 PM #

    number 3!

  65. Deborah April 12, 2010 at 7:49 PM #

    Number 3 in red or with more colour

    Failing that,

    Number 2

    I don’t have any pull toward number 1

  66. Tiffany Delage April 12, 2010 at 7:51 PM #

    Love #3. Simple and clear. A little more color would help.

  67. Wendy Swarts April 12, 2010 at 7:57 PM #

    #3, incorporating more color…maybe use color in the words…

  68. ferianto April 12, 2010 at 7:59 PM #

    #3, it’s kinda showing how to be “cool”, a concept that many 6-10 y.o. kids hold very close

  69. Nathan April 12, 2010 at 8:02 PM #

    I think 3 has some potential…but to throw some honesty out there…I really think going back to the drawing board is needed.

    Maybe something with an Owl and a kid both wearing tennis shoes and walking on a path.

    Maybe their on a road and the front of the CD cover shows the front of them and some background and the back of the CD shows the back of them walking…just a thought!!!

  70. Brian April 12, 2010 at 8:12 PM #

  71. Christi April 12, 2010 at 8:14 PM #

    #3!

  72. Jason Parmer April 12, 2010 at 8:24 PM #

    I like #3…

  73. Tom April 12, 2010 at 8:31 PM #

    No. 3

  74. Kyle April 12, 2010 at 8:36 PM #

    My five year old, Madeline, very decisively voted for the first of the three options. I tend to agree.

    Kyle

  75. Sarah April 12, 2010 at 8:37 PM #

    #3

  76. Jared April 12, 2010 at 8:39 PM #

    NUMBER ONE!!

  77. James April 12, 2010 at 8:39 PM #

    #3

  78. Jane April 12, 2010 at 8:47 PM #

    I vote #3 with more color.

  79. Marvin April 12, 2010 at 8:47 PM #

    Cover # 1

  80. Gerry April 12, 2010 at 8:50 PM #

    My son Lukas who is six said, “I like number 1. It looks cool. I like how they used the worm, and the frog and the goose in the words…” I of course didn’t see any of those shapes in the words but I’m thrilled that he did. Number #1!

  81. Kristy April 12, 2010 at 9:13 PM #

    #3

  82. Carly DeBurgh April 12, 2010 at 9:14 PM #

    #1

  83. J.R. April 12, 2010 at 9:16 PM #

    Number 1!

  84. EvaM April 12, 2010 at 9:18 PM #

    the kids said:
    one vote for #1
    two votes for #3

  85. Gordon Wilkerson April 12, 2010 at 9:19 PM #

    Definitely #1. The design shows action in the faces and hands, reflecting the title: Walking With the Wise. It shows action and the bright colors will lure the eye on store shelves or web pages.

  86. Brian Whitaker April 12, 2010 at 9:27 PM #

    Number 3. The wording is much clearer, and we’ve all walked in our Mom’s or Dad’s shoes when we were small.

  87. Jeff Stiles April 12, 2010 at 9:29 PM #

    #2, please.

  88. Aundrea April 12, 2010 at 9:38 PM #

    I asked my kids to vote.
    Here are the Waltz results:

    Julia (age 4) voted for #2
    Landon (6) voted for # 2
    Braidin (7) chose #1
    Justin (9) picked #2
    Devin (10) liked #3

  89. Stephen White April 12, 2010 at 9:41 PM #

    Number 3. It reminds me of the childrens books I use to read and the joy I get from goin back and seeing/reading them again. 1 makes me think of all the 90’s cassettes I would get at camp so I like 3 the best.

  90. Elizabeth April 12, 2010 at 9:42 PM #

    #1! But like someone else said, a color background would be nice, like bright yellow or something. And I really think the letter “i” in the first word needs to be a tad bit lower (or longer)…. I think it looks rather odd where it’s at right now. But otherwise, looks great!

  91. Michael April 12, 2010 at 9:44 PM #

    Guess I’m the weird abstract guy. I like #2.

  92. diana April 12, 2010 at 9:47 PM #

    I like comp#1

  93. Josh Calvetti April 12, 2010 at 9:52 PM #

    I like #3 the most… #1 is too 60s, #2 is too abstract, and #3 is cute. :D

  94. Mike West April 12, 2010 at 9:52 PM #

    I like comp #2.

  95. Ryan abd Chalene Baird April 12, 2010 at 9:53 PM #

    2 votes for #3 all the way!

  96. Cody Crigger April 12, 2010 at 10:00 PM #

    #3 then #1

  97. edward choo April 12, 2010 at 10:05 PM #

    I like #3

    I like number 3 for it’s simplicity and image. you have a little kid in some big feet…i like that symbolism…it seems to go with the album title a lot more than number 1

    number one is colorful! i like the colors…but the letters seem to be worms….i dont’ see the “wise” connection with this one as much as i do with #3

    if #3 had more colors…maybe it be better..i’m not sure..i’d have to see what it would look like..

    but yeah…#3 for me!!!

    3

  98. Nathan April 12, 2010 at 10:05 PM #

    Vote: Comp #2

    Qualifications: Most thematic of the three choices. Fun, catchy colors. Great readability. The hierarchy based on size/color/positioning makes it easy to read, easy to understand the message of the graphic. There’s a sentimental aspect to the graphic. It’s messy and fun for kids. Clean layout for adults. It’s simple. It’s creative. It’s bold and different. It’s memorable.

  99. Ben Davis April 12, 2010 at 10:26 PM #

    comp. one.

  100. Shelley April 12, 2010 at 10:31 PM #

    I LOVE #3. It’s fun and looks like there’s a story behind that little guy – a story the songs will tell. The first on is just words – no story.

  101. Jennifer April 12, 2010 at 10:36 PM #

    #3 with more color!

  102. Mike Kahler April 12, 2010 at 10:41 PM #

    #3

  103. Brad April 12, 2010 at 10:58 PM #

    #1 is the best in my opinion. Works for kids cd but also keeps the professional look.

  104. Matt Mason April 12, 2010 at 11:18 PM #

    #1

  105. Ruth B April 12, 2010 at 11:23 PM #

    #3 is my pic — they are all nice.
    #1 is very colorful and cute…but a bit hard to read.

  106. Scott April 12, 2010 at 11:40 PM #

    # 1

  107. JOHNSON F. DELA CERNA April 12, 2010 at 11:50 PM #

    mine is #.3…. its seems cool and good…and also it is really attractive and a simple one. that is for me guys! GOD BLESS to your new album… i hope i can have one… hehehe but im serious.

  108. Lance April 12, 2010 at 11:50 PM #

    No. 1 is amazing!

  109. Joel April 13, 2010 at 12:53 AM #

    Number 3!!

  110. Katie April 13, 2010 at 1:01 AM #

    #3 is cute, but #2 takes the cake!

  111. Caroline April 13, 2010 at 1:02 AM #

    I like 3:)

  112. Emily April 13, 2010 at 1:12 AM #

    Definitely #3 (with some more bright colours incorporated) – fun design that also captures some of the meaning of the album title.

  113. Tan Molina April 13, 2010 at 3:57 AM #

    #1

  114. chris Ashton April 13, 2010 at 5:19 AM #

    Number 2, all the way!

  115. Dave Mackie April 13, 2010 at 6:01 AM #

    #3 from my POV

  116. Jonathan Bell April 13, 2010 at 6:27 AM #

    I vote #3. It’s good fun, but clearer to read than #1.

  117. alice April 13, 2010 at 8:12 AM #

    I like #1 – mainly because I know kids like COLOR. The 2nd one would be good too if there was more color.

  118. Daniel Beato April 13, 2010 at 8:19 AM #

    I think #1 is so cool!

  119. Fin Langman April 13, 2010 at 8:22 AM #

    I vote for #1, although I agree with some of the other comments, I think it could be tweaked to aid readability, especially the word ‘Walking’.

    #3 is my second choice, but not as colourful. I love the idea of the big shoes, suggesting learning and gettting wisdom.

  120. Rich Gunderlock April 13, 2010 at 8:47 AM #

    My wife commented that #1 looks too similar color-wise to the cover to “To Be Like Jesus”.

    We like #2 artistically, although the title could be in a cooler more kid-ish font.

  121. Jordan Smith April 13, 2010 at 9:12 AM #

    I think #2 is great, it SHOWS what the album is about rather than just flat out TELLing us! Love it.

  122. Lex April 13, 2010 at 10:18 AM #

    I like #3. Super!

  123. Abby April 13, 2010 at 10:35 AM #

    I like the colors of the first one but #3 is my fave.

    My 6 year old likes #3 and my 5 year old likes #2.

  124. lisa oneil April 13, 2010 at 10:43 AM #

    #1

  125. Kristine April 13, 2010 at 11:03 AM #

    3 votes (ages 11,9,& 6) for #1
    1 vote (age 6) for #2
    I vote 3…..but with more color!!

  126. Dana Tedeschi April 13, 2010 at 11:10 AM #

    I think #3 fits best with the title and theme but I wish it was as colorful as #1

  127. Paul Hayes April 13, 2010 at 11:42 AM #

    #1!

  128. Gregory Pittman April 13, 2010 at 11:51 AM #

    I like Comp 3. I’ve never been a fan of splitting words (Comp 1) and that concept was already used on the Psalms cover.

  129. Joshua Jensen April 13, 2010 at 12:06 PM #

  131. Charity April 13, 2010 at 1:00 PM #

    I vote for #1, not a huge fan of the word “walking” wrapping around, but of them I like #1 the best

  132. Danielle April 13, 2010 at 1:10 PM #

    #1

  133. john April 13, 2010 at 1:36 PM #

    #1.

    Love the previous kids’ CD’s! Our children’s ministry is getting rocked by them. Press on in faithfulness!

  134. Jim Thompson April 13, 2010 at 1:46 PM #

  135. Ben Brandt April 13, 2010 at 2:03 PM #

    #1 ‘hands’ down!

  136. Michelle April 13, 2010 at 2:05 PM #

    #1 or #3

  137. osborn4 April 13, 2010 at 2:30 PM #

    I think #1 and #3 look too young to appeal to 6-10 year olds. Looks more preschoolish.

    And #2 is too mature. i shouldn’t have to think about WHY the cover picture makes sense.

    I’m with Nathan. Back to the drawing board.

  138. Adam Johnson April 13, 2010 at 2:31 PM #

    I like #3 the best!!!!

  139. Graydon Ewing April 13, 2010 at 2:50 PM #

    #2…simplistic artful, not over the top.

  140. Kyle April 13, 2010 at 3:34 PM #

    When kids draw, they’re often attempting to reflect or recreate something more complex and beautiful. Perhaps give them an album cover that offers this to them.

  141. Kimberly Murray April 13, 2010 at 4:00 PM #

    #1 gets my attention over the other two…

    I would like #3 better if it had more color.

  142. Joseph Yu April 13, 2010 at 4:09 PM #

    I vote for #1 (but 2nd choice would be 3) but number 1

  143. Zach Sprowls April 13, 2010 at 4:11 PM #

    I like #3. I like the big shoes.

  144. Matt Blick April 13, 2010 at 4:32 PM #

    personally 2 but i am 30 years out of your target range!

    1’s ok too.

  145. Sarah L April 13, 2010 at 4:57 PM #

    From my 3-year-old son, “I love that one (#1), I don’t love that one (#2) and I think you love that one (#3.)” He was right :)

  146. Clay Tabor April 13, 2010 at 7:21 PM #

    Numero Dos

    I’d pick #1 because of the colors. But also #3 because of the funny guy.

  148. Rich April 13, 2010 at 7:50 PM #

    my daughter voted for the first one

  149. Sara April 13, 2010 at 8:28 PM #

    #3. I like the little feet in big shoes concept because well who hasn’t walked in their parents shoes literally when they were little.

  150. Scott April 13, 2010 at 9:50 PM #

    #3 for sure.

  151. Selena April 13, 2010 at 10:33 PM #

    Definitely #2! but the white background doesn’t do it justice. The outlines of the little shoe and big shoe are deceptively simple, but meaningful.
    A contrasting background colour like yellow/lime green would really make the shoe outlines pop.

  152. PJ April 13, 2010 at 10:54 PM #

    I don’t have kids yet.

    That being said, #3.

  153. Betsy April 14, 2010 at 12:01 AM #

    # 3 For Sure!!

  154. Mauricio Velarde April 14, 2010 at 1:27 AM #

    #3 is the best.

    I understand the colors are more interesting for a kid in #1, but it doesn’t say anything to me about the theme like 2 and 3 do. I personally like #2, but I think #3 is the best at combining message, art, and audience appeal, so #3 gets my vote.

  164. Jenna C. April 15, 2010 at 12:47 PM #

    #1 :)

    My kids like #2 but I like #3

  168. Jordan Slack April 16, 2010 at 11:27 AM #

    I have to go with #1

  169. Phil April 16, 2010 at 3:28 PM #

    I would like 1 the best… only instead of hands on letters like the “K” and the “G,” how about feet? That way it would still be fun and colorful, but also capture the theme and be fun. “With the” might want to be in manuscript though… 6-year-olds won’t be able to read it probably.

    I like 2 and 3, but in my honest, somewhat-humble opinion, 2 could just as well be a GLAD cover, and the guy on 3 looks pretty arrogant to me. :)

  170. Monica April 16, 2010 at 7:59 PM #

    Hi, i’ve been a self thought graphic designer for about 15 years and want to share my humble opinion and thoughts.

    I really like #3 the best, font is legible, the color and character are fun and say to me … child stuff. Except would prefer a big smile on the character or whistling with some notes in air to imply the music content. Also the hands in a more walking position.

    #2 is creative with drawing shoes with laces but not as accessible to understand the content.

    #1 i thought was very fun and colorful speaking child stuff right away, but it took me a few seconds to understand the lettering was reading “walking”. Also some of the letters seem to have the shape of ghosts such as the A, the K and the N, and the i is a bit hidden. If the colors could be incorporated into design #3 it might make it even more fun.

    Anyways, those are my few cents :-D

    I’m sure the Lord will give discernment to the cover He wants!

    Love and blessings,
    Monica

  171. Dexter Jun Castillon April 17, 2010 at 1:16 AM #

    I like the number three. Because it’s the best, isn’t it?

    Colorful wins! #1!!

  177. David Taylor April 18, 2010 at 3:00 PM #

    Just asked my 7 year old for his UK vote, and he’s gone for number 1…. love it!

  178. Stacy Stevens April 18, 2010 at 6:56 PM #

    Definitely #1. Appreciate your blog!!

  179. J Szeto April 18, 2010 at 9:18 PM #

    Like many here, I think #3 is conceptually strong, and #1 is more colorful. I’d suggest using 3 but replacing the monochrome with some of the bold colors of the other.
    I suspect most of the readers whose kids voted on #1 based on the eye-catching colors, so just port them over!

    I like 3 because it’s cute, has a character kids can relate to, and the imagery of aspiring to fill these big shoes and follow a great calling in wisdom is a fantastic one.

  180. Gwen Griffiths April 18, 2010 at 11:13 PM #

    Number 2 really shows the concept of walking with the wise. That’s my vote.

  181. Melissa Goins April 19, 2010 at 10:18 AM #

    I vote for #3. It speaks “kids!” And it clearly delineates the theme of the album!!

  182. Jessica April 19, 2010 at 1:47 PM #

    #3. I think it’s more attractive to a kid.

  183. Clara Boisvert April 19, 2010 at 2:05 PM #

    This grandma votes for #3. But I remember there being something about kids and bright primary colors …

  184. Evelyn Hutchinson April 19, 2010 at 9:05 PM #

    I like #3 the best.

    #1 is cute and colorful but I found it hard to read and understand what it was saying at first.

    Thanks so much!

  185. Roger April 20, 2010 at 9:59 AM #

    #1 – jumps right out and commands attention; kids will love the colors and imagery.

    2 and 3 look like they’re advertising a product, maybe a book or an educational product of some sort. Doesn’t strike me as a music cd. I think #1 could be tweaked to be a bit clearer; and be careful of trying to invoke Veggi Tales.

  186. Rebecca April 20, 2010 at 10:44 AM #

    #1 for sure! Love it!

  187. Matt April 20, 2010 at 11:51 AM #

    #3 – maybe with more color like the first one

  189. Lisa Shoemaker April 21, 2010 at 10:32 AM #

    my vote is for #2

  191. Sammy April 23, 2010 at 10:26 AM #

  192. Clint April 24, 2010 at 6:56 PM #

    Comp #1

  193. Jo April 24, 2010 at 7:26 PM #

    #3

  194. John Woodworth April 25, 2010 at 7:47 AM #

    My 8 yr old and 5 yr old boys like Comp #1

  195. Jim Weidner April 25, 2010 at 12:57 PM #

    #3
    Cute and best visual statement, according to my wife Jenny

  196. Erik April 26, 2010 at 9:18 AM #

    Comp #2 is the best!!

  197. Linda April 27, 2010 at 10:58 AM #

    #3

  198. Dallas Mora April 28, 2010 at 12:00 AM #

    i say either 1 or 3

  199. paolo May 2, 2010 at 3:56 PM #

    Number 3 is great!

  200. Julia Boyd May 7, 2010 at 2:30 PM #

    #1 for the color (my grandaughter would be drawn to this because of the colors)

    #3 for the design. maybe give #3 the colors of #1

  201. Anna Eshbaugh May 12, 2010 at 2:00 PM #

    I asked my 9 and 11 year olds their favorite one. They both chose #3 with no hesitation. They thought it was the best by far. I liked #2.

  202. JeffL May 20, 2010 at 4:52 PM #

    Go with #3 – Pictures tell stories. I like the image of a child walking in daddy’s big shoes. Kids will identify with that, plus it visually supports the concept of the album.

    I would add some color, though.

    Again, go with #3.

  203. Laura May 20, 2010 at 10:03 PM #

    Def #1!
