So I came up with the idea for this cover the other day and quickly made a mockup in Photoshop (for a few hours). I have to use my older Dell laptop since my Macbook Pro doesn't have Photoshop on it, and the color differences between the two are very noticeable. I went back and forth between the two and have come up with a version that I really like, but I still see some places where it can be improved.
I'm concerned with title placement and visibility of the text. I'd also like to read any thoughts on initial impression of the graphics, if they pull you in or not. Any comments/constructive criticism in general would be very appreciated.

I'm also playing around with the idea of flipping the image 90 degrees, which I have an example of here:

The font on this image is one from the first image, but I feel like it could be better. In fact, I think all of the text needs work to increase visibility.
Edit: I added a new version in post #18
Edit 2: I added a new version in post #33
Edit 3: I added a new version in post #40
