Book designer Giles of Osprey Design posted this cover design, which he calls "woeful". I sort of admire the 2-dimensionality, but it certainly has serious composition problems.
As an experiment, I tried to introduce some distinctions between author/title/etc and to tinker with the balance of figure to ground. The changes are headed in a direction that fundamentally undermines some of the quirkiness of the original while clearing up some of the problems. I wouldn't call it the "right" direction. And if it were, I haven't taken it far enough yet.
The version posted here, which I assume to be the final design, takes a different tack, of lightening the background to help the text stand out. I think that version went in absolutely the right direction and is much better than my experiment.
