New Cover for MDAA Volume 1
Previously announced draft cover for Memory Dump Analysis Anthology has got new look and feel:
Books symbolize modular memory structure found in Windows memory dumps (see Dump2Picture paintings) and blue strip separating cover text and books symbolizes familiar blue screen).

Dear Dmitry,
I’m very impressed with your writings on dump analysis. I want to give you some advices on how your cover design can be made better:
1) Using Verdana font on cover lacks intrigue. You can provoke more attractive feelings by using more interesting font. For example, consider computer-style fonts or maybe typewriter-like.
2) It is better to make vertical line of the bookshelf look vertical, not bended. Thus, you’ll get three strong verticals on your cover: the text, the blue line and the bookshelf.
3) Using centered alignment for “Memory dump” label isn’t really a good idea because it harms readability and breaks otherwise strong vertical.

Thank you, Mikhail! I’m now experimenting with your suggestions and present new cover later this/next week.
