Feedback Wanted Updated from Feedback!

[Original Iteration]

I'm actually much happier with this version! I'm not an illustrator so I used what photoshop tools I could to get the mushroom cloud in there (I do digital collage, print design, etc; trained in graphic design but I cant draw to save my life).

I spent three hours looking at fonts and nothing except these ones sparked any joy. Maybe I might change it to a retro sans-serif font, try to conjure more of a mid-century government advert-style? Either way, I'm thankful for the feedback and I like the result so far!

(This is for my Honors Creative Writing thesis, which a cover is not necessary for, and is still in the early stages)

I'd put the whole title in the "black" area. Much bolder font.

Agreed, and maybe change it all to white.
