Okay, I'm a fan of less-is-more.
But. Um. Not this much less.
Maybe it's the fact that I hate the font used for the author's name - and the title name - and the placement of the title as a tattoo of some sort. All of those things irritate me. If that had been changed, the image may have worked (especially if they added some texture to that blue) but I'm not the biggest fan of this.
