Hey, the skin on her laptop looks like something you’d make. It looks like she has a good graphic designer doing her covers. Mine would be in crayon if I were to self-publish.
Ha. I thought the same thing about that skin on her laptop. Cover art can so easily look bad! I’d be afraid to do my own unless I had some really great software.
Well all you’d have to do is make some art like usual and then scan it in, don’t you think? I like the cover on the book you made for me. 🙂
Aww. Thank you, Sherri. I think the problem for me isn’t necessarily a design per se. But the paper and ink. There is just something about the types of paper, the ink, the finish of books published by major houses that is different. Self-published books always look self-published. And proverbial sayings aside, I like my books to have nice covers.
Well, a beautiful cover won’t get me to buy a book, but an ugly cover can keep me from picking a book up off the shelf.
That’s horrible though, isn’t it?
Jeez.
Her laptop looks like something you’d make! At first glance I thought you’d put up her video because you knew her, when I saw that artwork. 🙂
This is exactly the kind of thing that Darc’s been seeing too. He’s become a huge fan of e-publishing. 🙂
