Book covers can either make or break a reading relationship. I am one who will only read a book if I like the cover, and I normally only read hardcover books.
I, personally, only like covers that don't give away too much of the main character's appearance. I don't enjoy illustrated covers, and I mainly enjoy covers that actually relate to the book.
Here are two of my book covers:
This one is the cover for Perfect World, and it's one of my favorites. It was made by someone on this creative writing site I get on called Mibba. As far as I know, I gave her the base image and then she went to work in Adobe Photoshop and made it.
This is one I made myself.. I used gimp to add the text (I used the color picker to get the colors) and I softened it up a bit to let the text blend in. I then turned to a photo editing software like picnic, called picmonkey. There I used an effect to make it look like a painting (which I thought made it look like the sky) and I did this after messing with some of the visual changed. I can't quite remember what I did.
Well, that's my thoughts and some of my covers. Have a nice day.
