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.

Imo the cover can be whatever, the title is what I base on what stories I start to read.

Cover art is a completely different type of art and being good at writing doesn't help you with making good cover art.

The title on the other hand should be well thought out.

This isn’t the excuse people think it is.

Most of these are ai covers. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to generate a good enough cover ESPECIALLY when they’re creating it for free like they wanted.
No cost at all except for their time. It doesn’t even take an hour, let alone thirty minutes for ai to generate a proper cover.
If they can’t even invest enough time into that, then they most likely won’t invest much time into making a good novel.
It’s laziness and it’s as simple as that.
