Uh, pick which cover concept we should use next issue. And hurry.
Help us design or choose the next cover of CW. Our next issue is about Beijing online, more or less. The editorial idea is to highlight those dining, art, nightlife, entertainment and city-centric sites you might not already know about - to start the process of highlighting those sites that help you enjoy and give back to the city. And yes, we shamelessly plug our own website - we mean your website. So help us plan the cover of this issue. I've uploaded a few covers already being thrown around by the designers.
As you may already know, we slap a lot of cover teasers around the central image, so the color and background has gotta be pretty simple. We like clean covers at CW - something to grab your attention but also quiet enough to let all teasers attract the eye. What’s a good cover image for a story about entertainment/lifestyle websites in Shanghai? What says website and city?
The heading is something like “Click on!” Personally, I find most of these covers too plain. Do you like any and if you could design the cover what would you suggest? Take a look. I ordered them all 1-4. There's more. I'll upload them as they come in.

both my husband and I like #3 best

like #3 better compared to the others, but it's a bit too IT therefore kinda boring.

If the mouse were in focus in #4, it'd be my pick. Also, if I were going with #4, I would probably give it #3's text colors. So we're doing the red and white, slightly rotated bubble letters every issue?

Two alternative ideas: 1) instead of a mouse (I agree its kinda boring) use the cursor (hand with finger pointing or the arrow) 2) use an interesting signage from a 网吧，isn't that more interesting and more 'China'?

Easily Cover Ex. 1 is the best choice.

1: Most people can't recognize it's a mouse, 2: Shape is too weird and eyedroppy, 3: Too common of a photo & angle, 4: Looks like just a tail. None of these express the 'click' concept. I'd aim for something with a hand or finger on the mouse button or something...

Thanks to all the people who posted. We ended up working with a variation of cover 1. Thanks again!

Oh, I'll if someone suggests a better cover photo concept, that we end up using. I'll see that CW pay them 150 RMB for their contribution and bestow upon them laurels of fame.
