It is not only the image that is suitable, contextual , to the story, but also the font used for the title and author's name - and any other text inserted on the cover. Everything must communicate to the reader the story he will read. Not only. There must also be harmony and balance between text and images , everything must have its own balance, but above all its own logic. I don't know what How to deal with Hippo Encounter is about , but that font certainly reminds you of homemade company brochures. And as regards the second ebook, are we sure that Times New Roman is the right font for a story about werewolves? #5 – Unbalanced cover elements Cover Cover We were talking earlier about balance. The flight of the intrepid monkey used Leopardian memory's "photo you spread widely" method.
The reader finds himself in a jumble of photos taken from the internet and placed there without any symmetry or discernment. What do they represent? Personages? Do you contest? Scenes? We ignore it. Brothers Bullies and Bad Guys tries harder and churns Special Data out a collage of images that evoke… evoke . A bear ready to bite, two little boys, a motorboat, a beautiful damsel, an eagle flying over a waterfall, a fire: and the reader has understood everything. Harmony in the images and balance : this should be the right combination to respect when creating book covers. Each photo, each drawing must have its own precise location within the cover painting. One of the mistakes I frequently see is this mania for wanting to put more of everything in, as if quantity were the essential requirement for a prize-winning cover. #6 – The incomprehensibility of the cover Cover Cover Hippos seem to be all the rage among self-publishing authors. I'm with hippos will have had its great success overseas too. I'm glad to hear it.
But we were mentioning the incomprehensible covers. We have already said that a cover image must communicate to the reader the story or at least its setting or context. It must, in one word, communicate . What does the first cover shown, where an ambiguous 69 stands out like a tattoo on the side of an unaware hippopotamus, communicate? No, I'm serious: a hippo and some kind of mad scientist with a giant test tube. Let's move on to the next one, which is better. Better so to speak. Hammer of Thor – which supposedly belongs to Nordic mythology – features the symbol of Thor's hammer, a muscular guy who has very little Nordic feel, a submachine gun that has even less, a Chinese writing and a distinguished gentleman who was passing by there by chance. #7 – Excessive texting Cover Cover The more information you put on the cover, the better. This was the thought that pushed the two authors in question to fill the covers of their books with words. So many words, to the point that, in all sincerity, I don't understand what the title of the two books is. Have we already talked about communication? Yes, I think so. The cover that communicates to the reader or something like that.
