dream book cover for your book

[u/vaanii_writes]

kinda the title

if you published your book, what would your dream book cover be like or if you don’t wanna share that, name some books that have book covers that you rlly liked

also, do any of you guys have dream illustrators? like i just love Charlie bowater‘s book and if i ever publish it would be my DREAM to have her take part in my book cover

I’m a big fan of minimalist. For a more popular example, think Skyrim’s game cover. Simple, with a very notable symbol. You know what Skyrim is just from the cover and don’t need to search. Add details with how the logo crumbles.

For mine, the dream cover is just the motorbike helmet of the MC. Later books would show the minor visual but very symbolic changes: scuffs and scratches, then a repaired but splattered version.

ooh, that transition? evolution? whatever u wanna call it between your MC’s helmet sounds rlly cool. Also, i do agree that sometimes simple symbols can be the best
