@beth20Hey Claire!!
Love that you’re doing this!
I might have something that you could do.
I got an idea for a cover!!
So I need something that has to do with a girl creating a world through her imagination. So whatever that means! XD
Title, Ninjanaria
Author, Beth Darlene
Genre, obv high fantasy lol!
Thanks!
Jominkreesa! For the weirdos who know what it means! 😉 I love you guys!

@anne_the_noob14@claire-h 😀 Thank you!
And I’m not 100% sure what the difference between ebook and “regular” or whatever is, so SURE!! XD Just whatever you usually do is fine.

@claire-hOk! I’ll add you to the list 😉 I will need some more details though. Do you have a color scheme in mind? What’s the theme of the book? Are there any specific things you would like on the cover?
Lol. Well, ebook format is just the cover itself, not the spine or anything. And I’ve been thinking about a few things I’d like to ask about your story. What’s the audience? And what’s the overall theme and plot? I’m just trying to figure out what to do in case I can’t make your exact dream cover. I wish I had more resources so I could, but right now I’m pretty limited… :/

@anne-of-lothlorien@claire-h Oooh, I love it! (Well, most of it) I hope I’m not being to picky, but there are only two things I’d like maybe a bit different.
The font and title… I think I’d like it all in one font, and something a bit more swirly and old looking, maybe.
The second thing is that I like the guy in the shadows, but he’s kinda blocked by the scrolly things up top and it took me a bit to realize he was there… maybe he can be moved or made more visible or something?? I don’t really know how you’d work it.
But anyways, I don’t want to sound ungrateful for the time you put into this because it really is really cool! And e-book format is totally fine. XD

@claire-hHey, no worries! Anything I can do to make it better. 🙂 Here’s an option. What do you think of the font? I’m not too sure about the frame thing, so I can change that if you don’t like it.

@claire-hAnother option with the frame thing. @anne-of-lothlorien

@anne_the_noob14Ah, gotcha. Yes, ebook is fine 🙂
My target audience is young adult, and the overall theme/plot… *eye twitches*
XD Ok so let’s see. I really don’t think a ton about theme as I write, but I was researching theme the other day and so I can probably answer that question anyway 😛
So, Lucas has to get over his fear of loving people. He’s gonna have to realize that heartbreak from losing a loved one is ok. Painful, yes. But he can’t hide from love.
Maybe that answers your question somewhat?

@anne_the_noob14Ooh and personally, I like the last one Claire sent… The border thing looks like it fits better. But that’s just my opinion 🙂

@anne-of-lothlorien@claire-h Yes, the last one is my favorite! The font and the border look lovely!
Do you think maybe that you could try one with the guy moved down and to the left, maybe so his face is visible more and he’s not cut off? But still in the shadows? Is that possible, or not?

@claire-hGreat! That’s my favorite too. Ok, so the deal with the guy is that he has a pipe hanging out the other side of his mouth… that’s the only reason I haven’t scooted it over more. What do you think?

@anne-of-lothlorienOkay, so we can’t move him. XD
Could you maybe look for another picture of a guy? Maybe something less close up, like just a shadowy picture of a guy in a long coat, from the back maybe? Or if you can see the face, someone younger, maybe? The main characters is 20. If not, it’s fine as it is.

@claire-hOk, I’ll look around and see what I can do. I might not be able to find anything…

@beth20Okay, I will try to give you more details lol!!
Do you have a color scheme in mind? Not really. Maybe darker colors?
What’s the theme of the book? Theme? Like what exactly do you mean?
Are there any specific things you would like on the cover? No, other than maybe a girl (the one who made Ninjanaria.) and maybe a boy to represent Jered.

@claire-h@anne-of-lothlorien Oh, and what name would you like me to put at the bottom? I almost forgot!
@beth20 I was just trying to get a feel for your story. I’m kind of confused about the whole girl thing. How old is she? Is she good or bad? What age? And are there any characteristics unique to your story that could help make the cover unique? Sorry for all the questions, lol. The more details, the easier it is for me to design a cover. 🙂a flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it.

@anne-of-lothlorien@claire-h *thumbs up* Awesome! And sorry for being so picky. 😛
Uh, you can just leave it without a name, cause Anne isn’t my real name and I’m not supposed to put my real name up here. 😛
