@ellette-giselle wow, I love the cover!
I like the third summary thing the best, I think.

September 30, 2024 at 2:16 pm #186551I know! She’s amazing!!!
Okay, thanks!

October 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm #186593Of the covers you provided, I like version 4 the best. It feels the most balanced and official to me. I like the font and the chosen colour for your name. I’m not sold on the outline you have on the font on the bottom, but not entirly against it either. I understand why you are doing it: so that we can see the words,
Did you make any versions where you included the series title and book number? Would this be included on the spine? (I think it is a good idea to include it somewhere, otherwise it is confusing to figure out which book comes first. Also, if you include book numbers on the cover, you can make fun of the reader for starting with book three as Alcatraz does.)
The captions you created look good. I agree with Keliah, the third one is the best. You set the stage well, make the threat personal to Aaron, and end with a question to draw the reader in. Good job!

October 1, 2024 at 2:26 pm #186594I did a few more tries on the cover with fonts. How about this?
And yes, I would put the numbers on the side. The series name and number feel to crammed on the top.
Okay, good. I’ll work off of the third one.

October 1, 2024 at 7:00 pm #186602That last one, I don’t really like the way your name is done, but I think the layout of the title is nice! I like how it flows with the picture. Maybe if you put your name in the font it is on the 4th version of your cover?

October 3, 2024 at 2:28 pm #186643Okay, I can see why you were saying the series title was making it too crowded.
You could try something like this:
Let There be Light
------ * ------
The Flames of Hope Saga (I/1/: Book I/: Book 1)Or find some way to work tis in with the fancy layout that your title currently has. You could also put the 1 or I in the middle the separator (where I have the astrix above).
Your fancy line design and font choice for the series title look great! I like 3 the best. You are definatly getting there.
Series title and book number are not necessary for the front cover, just as long as they are somewhere.

October 3, 2024 at 6:01 pm #186663okay, Iām gonna call it at 3 and then see what I think in a few months when I actually am ready for the cover. š

October 25, 2024 at 11:10 am #188289Well, it’s the end of October and I have been waiting with bated breath! (very patiently, I might add)
Do you have any answers to the questions, or do you want to wait until the VERY end of October?

October 25, 2024 at 11:21 am #188290I’m getting there. I finished rereading your story and will hopefully have my answers for you very soon. In fact, I don’t have any pressing School assignments at the moment and have written a lot for my own story this week, so I will be working on that right away.
