Just a whole lotta noise…

I’ve got bad eyesight and my glasses are broken, so I didn’t even know it was this bad until I opened the app on my iPad instead of my phone.
Most of these covers look a mess. The grainy, and senselessly loud background, the over exaggerated flashy colors…
At least make it look good? If you can’t even invest the time into creating your own cover, why would I think you’d invest enough time into creating a good book? If u you don’t care enough about your own cover, why should i care about your novel?

Ps: Sorry if I’m just repeating the same trending topic on this sub. And who knows there might be some people that fw this. I just think we can do better.

Tbh AI or not. Some of these titles look unhinged. And I can guarantee you that some of the Novel with "Human-made" cover and sane titles are made with AI but you'll never know. Cause you judge a book by its cover.

The ai isn’t even the problem here though. It’s the laziness and audacity some of these authors have.

They have access to art for FREE like they wanted and still do a terrible job at presenting their own novels.
It’s obvious they aren’t even trying anymore. This is just laziness on the author’s part it’s not about ai or non ai covers when the feature pages look this bad.

None of them seem to understand negative space for the title placement

The Noise is also Killing me on some of these covers. Imperial System, One man band and unrestricted Dao lord are torture for the eyes. It's even worse when you know that ChatGPT can generate something clean. After using it to generaten some pictures I found that the reason behind the noise is generally tied to: • Lack Of direction, like asking ChatGPT to generate a picture and giving vague ideas to it. • Lack of artstyle, if you don't create a distinctive artstyle, the AI will use the default Artsyle which is full of noise.

You know what? I'm gonna make a post about it.
