Well, yesterday I spent an hour reading a forum about the importance of book covers. I knew they were important, but I don't think I'd really considered how important and what exactly it is that captures the reader's attention. Until yesterday, I was pretty happy with the cover I created using Create Cover. The stock photo was pretty and soothing, just the effect I was going for. But did it really represent my book. The field has a nice mix of colors, but my book takes place in the city.
After long hours last night trying to figure out my photo program I came up with a new possible cover. All that's left is getting a few opinions.
Number 1! Number 1!
ReplyDeleteAs the novel is so focused on the characters and not on her musical talent I still prefer the original cover that you had. It relates more to young love than the new one with the bird.
ReplyDeleteNumber 1 just won't get noticed in the sea of YA books. #2 is closer, but I still think it needs more pizazz or something. Look at other covers to kind of get a feel for what's out there.
