I absolutely love the vibrant colors, and I feel the cover is catchy. While it may not resonate with some people, it worked out for me. The only thing that bothered me were the dots in the corner, which I felt were somehow distracting.

I personally do not like covers with the author's picture on them. The choice of colors is wrong for this book, and his choice of what he is wearing doesn't appeal to me either. The dots are distracting. I sent a copy of the cover to my son, who is a graphic designer, and he said that the cover was horrible.

Well, it is not the cover that I voted for. However this is vibrant and attractive.

Sincerely, the cover of the book isn’t catchy but if you look beyond the visual appearance and look deeply you’d see a man with a top hat and well dressed and full of smiles as well, that signifies success to me because he looks successful and the smile shows he accomplished what he wanted.

In the future trying something more engaging, a few dollar bills and signs would have made the book cover more eye catching.

The title "Minimum Wage Millionaire" certainly is intriguing. I don't know anyone who would associate minimum wage earning with becoming a millionaire, but I suppose it is possible. We will find out! I am also curious why the author chose the red suit. Resembling more of a showbiz costume than a McDonald's uniform, I wonder if it would capture the attention of someone who unfortunately is a minimum wage earner but wants to learn how to improve their financial situation. I hope we will learn the reasons behind the cover design.

I'm not usually a fan of covers with photographs of a person, but in this case I do think the cover represents the content. The photograph displays success and confidence which I imagine to be key themes in the book.

I agree to your opinion of not to judge book by its cover. During my leisure time I do a lot of graphic design jobs, so based on that knowledge I do think the cover page design is not up to standard. It looks a bit basic and didn't really pass the message the title of the book is trying to pass. I would recommend a more professional design. The design does not to cumbersome, a little touch of art work. I can provide more idea if need be. :).

I should not judge a book by its cover. But the question is about the opinion of the cover alone. Let me be honest, I did not like the cover.

I feel the cover is very apt and gives a rich feel to the book. Having Scott's own picture makes the book seem bankable as well. The color combination is also perfect and gives a vibrant look to the cover. It justifies the title well, and I am having high hopes for the content of the book just from the cover!

The book is not of my favourite genre but the title definitely makes you want to look into what's inside. But a more attractive cover would have been more pleasant.

The bright colors are eye-catching, but the design is not my cup of tea. Scott does have quite a following and seeing his face may inspire people to pick up the book and investigate further. I'm not sure, in today's digital age, that covers have the same impact as years ago, when most people went to a bookstore or library for their books. Looking at this book as one of many on e.g. Amazon, the bright colors make sense, with small pictures of numerous books being displayed with searches.

Adding to my previous comment, I also feel that the cover is bold and eye-catching! Plus, Scott's confident smile and sharp red suit convey a sense of success and charisma and the overall design has a clean and modern feel to it.

The book cover is very basic. I personally don't like the red, yellow and black combination because it reminds me of a poisonous snake pretending to be harmless. The children's rhyme to remember if a snake is poisonous kept playing in my head while looking at the cover (Red next to black, you're okay Jack; Red next to yellow, you're a dead fellow). The author looks to be standing in a dimly lit arena or on a stage with the light shining on him in a way that makes him look haughty, not accomplished. The title is intriguing, but the cover doesn't appear to relate to the title. I would not have picked this book up to read the back if I saw it in person.

Previous commenters have stated that the dots are weird or off-putting. I agree with that statement as well.

I feel like the red and yellow is jarring when combined. I honestly think I’d like it better without the author’s picture on it, or with a different top design. I think having more complimentary colors would be helpful.
