This is probably my favorite of the contest. It just looks like the real thing: no one would be surprised to see it in a library or a bookstore. True, the title could be a bit easier to read, or the compression artifacts could be taken care of, but still it is so efficient as a whole that these are relatively minor things in the end. Congrats on the ribbon, even if I expected it to be a blue one!
Thank you for the lovely comments. It isn't the same model - this is my younger son - had to balance the scales, equal opportunities and all that jazz. Also, as neither of them live at home any longer, I grab whichever one happens to be available/home for the weekend.
I think a publisher would worry that the title is hard to read and also worry about a lawsuit from the Wachowskis but I'm giving this a 7 because it's weird and energetic.
