Top tips for creating a book cover with AI.
Here are some tips to consider when designing your own book cover with AI:
Typography:
- Make sure all fonts are easily readable.
- Consider popular fonts, such as Serif, Modern, Sans Serif and Script.
- Choose fonts that set the right tone – i.e., large, bold fonts to indicate adventure.
- Ensure fonts contrast well with the colours and imagery on your AI book cover.
Colour palette:
- Prioritise colours that are compatible or contrast well.
- Choose colours that reflect your book’s mood – for example, minimalist hues could work well for a cookbook.
- Consider colours to set the right tone:
- Red for energy, confidence, enthusiasm, and passion.
- Green for peace, nature, mystery, and enchantment.
- Blue for relaxation, depth, stability, and tension.
Imagery:
- Use imagery that complements the typography and colour palette.
- Consider your demographic when choosing imagery – think cartoon images for a children’s book.
- Don’t let the imagery overpower the author’s name and other important elements.
- Always choose high-resolution images, or lean on AI tools for a quality finish.
