I spent an hour this morning trying to find the right font/layout (I can’t help it, I get obsessed when I have an image in my mind I can’t recreate). Unfortunately I have a very limited selection of fonts in my Photoshop. Anyway sorry if I’m being interfering! I wanted to explain what I meant about being able to see your title and name easily: your front cover is your business card/writer brand/ shop window etc etc. I think your name is as important as the name of the book. I love the image by the way. I looked for something similar that would allow more text but I couldn’t better this one in my quick search (again sorry if I sound interfering!)
Anyway, this is what I came up with. http://writermummy.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/acceptance-somethingdifferent_edited-1.jpg The font is Papyrus and isn’t right at all but it was the closest to the one in my head! My husband didn’t like but he couldn’t explain why so that wasn’t much help!
Very nice! I think your name needs to be bigger, though. I can barely read it on the screen here, and on a thumbnail image? Not a chance. Could you maybe stick it at the top, and then move Acceptance down further and enlarge it? Nothing is more important on a book cover than the title
