Critique

This week I am critiquing my experience with the Meredith prototypes. I had an interesting time with these, especially trying to finish them up the past few days. It seemed like I was constantly fussing with them and I was never really content with anything!
It has been a frustrating challenge for me because I am having an interesting battle with myself in trying to come up with a solid design that infuses older women (40-ish) with technology for their homes. I think I may be thinking too young, too guyish or too simple sometimes. The only one of the covers I really like is the one I have posted here. I like how I used the title with the lines in the background. I asked around via e-mail and most of my female family members agreed that it was their favorite as well.
Also, the line colors could change based on the colors of the cover photo and such and it could be really fun (or at least I think it would be)!
Let me know if you like it/hate it/have any suggestions!
