Dancing Elephants Press Book Project
November Updates and Book Cover Options
Last minute discussions before publishing. Thank you for all your patience. Life happens to all of us and this project been taking a little longer than expected.
Please disregard the spelling of elephants in two of the options. That can be corrected. I was trying to do this too fast while not feeling 100% to get more feedback on the design ideas.
Tagging the authors ✍ — I would greatly appreciate it if you commented to let me know you saw this post. Thank you!

Dancing Elephants' Book Project getting close to being finished and published on Draft 2 Digital. I had received edits from Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles and I am doing final proof checks and design currently. Thank you Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles for going over the book and checking it for corrections needed to be done. There are a lot of little details and hoping to finish by the end of this month and get the book out for the holidays.
In the previous update I sent a prototype of a book cover. Thank you for all the feedback on that one option. I appreciate the kind words and insights. A lot of people did like the cover idea with some small changes. I made those changes please see them below with the other three options.
I recently posted another idea on our WhatsApp group and received more feedback on what some of you might like to see in the cover. I am not a cover artist and tried my best to go with the theme that resonates with the publication and the topic areas as well.
I would like to receive feedback on these four final options. Please be kind and say what you like about the covers and what would be your first, second, third and fourth choice. I know not everybody will be pleased with everything. It would be difficult to get the same likes of over 20 people.
I also know there was some request for an additional picture taken by someone who is not a part of Dancing Elephants Press. I felt uncomfortable with this option because of phot rights. I hope people will understand.
I would also like to invite other writers from Dancing Elephants Press and other publications to share their thoughts. You will be our audience.
Which cover you like the best?
Which cover would catch your eye?
Do you like the color ?
Which font you like?
Please see our options below. I also made some changes to the title as suggested.
I made the letters much bigger from the previous option as suggested.
I took out 1st annual and added article collections as suggested.
I added the year in case we want to do more books.
Final Title and subtitle:
Holistic Journey(s) Toward Wellness
Dancing Elephants Press Article Collections 2022
Option #1
This photo above was taken by Dr. Preeti Singh from her visit in Thailand. I had to try one with elephants. It is the name of the publication and elephants take amazing journeys. I love this photo and I love elephants. It has nature elements, color and I think the gold white and red combinations pop out nicely. The elephants surrounded by nature all the green looks beautiful in the photo. Let me know your thoughts.
Option #2
The picture above is in response for people asking to do a path option this is one of them. The writing could be on top as well and I thought I try to see how would it look like on the path as well. Something different. I like the natural colors and all the different rock formations.
Option#3
I love the image above by Dr. Preeti Singh with the mountains, the pass going through it has the water, greenery for nature and the movement of the water. I also love the different size of the boats and the people in them going for a journey.
Lastly is the previous option from the prior article with charging some of the letter sizes and the title.
Option #4
I still really like the above photo with the gate of a castle garden toward the ocean. I brightened this photo as requested and added larger letters. Changed the position of the Letters and colors to pop out more. I love the green represented by the garden, the path shown and the gate that can be crossed toward the other side of wellness in our journey.
This is what I have. I hope you like some of these options.
