There's one for every occasion. Some are whimsical and breezy; fitting for fantasy or romance books. Others are downright terrifying \u2014 perfect for a psycho-thriller or horror tale.<br><br>Fonts are also among the first things your readers see when they look at your book. Eyes are naturally drawn to words written in big letters, and you want to make sure potential readers get the right first impression when they see the title of the book.<br><br>Just take a look at the cover above for Don't Cry Murder. That font points perfectly toward a twisted, thrilling plot. As for the font of Priest of Bones, it actually resembles bones.<br><br>You may want to choose quirky hand lettering for a young adult coming-of-age tale, or a minimalist sans-serif to convey a more serious or biographical work. Just be sure your font and your book deliver the same tone.<br><br><strong>What makes an effective book cover?<\/strong> A well-chosen font or image that reflects the book\u2019s theme can help make an effective book cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-genre-of-your-book-guides-the-cover\">The Genre of Your Book Guides the Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Book-covers-genre-example-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Book cover examples of different genres\" class=\"wp-image-21142\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Book-covers-genre-example-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Book-covers-genre-example-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Book-covers-genre-example-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Book-covers-genre-example-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Book-covers-genre-example.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This should go without saying, but your picture should match your genre. Could you imagine if Stephen King's <em>It<\/em> had a cute puppy on the cover? The reader would surely be in for a surprise.<br><br>That example may seem a bit extreme, but there are too many authors out there who don't get specific enough with their picture. Show the readers a peek into the story you\u2019re telling. Glennon Doyle\u2019s <em>Untamed<\/em> is clearly about living authentically and creatively. Just look at it!<br><br><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> If you ever get unsure about what images are suitable for your genre, check out what your competition's book covers look like. You shouldn't copy them exactly (the goal is to stand out a bit), but at least you'll get a great idea of what to use.<br><br>Remember, your photo shouldn't just fit your genre. It should also support your specific book.<br><br>Take <em>American Psycho<\/em>, for instance. The cover art depicts a man in a business suit with blood covering his eyes. If you've read the book (or seen the movie), you know this image fits perfectly.<br><br>But what if you replaced the picture with a machete-wielding man in overalls and a hockey mask? Still a horror\/thriller, right? However, that's another image for another story.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sw-tweet-clear\"><\/div><a class=\"swp_CTT style1\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Book+cover+design+really+just+art%2C+but+more+of+a+calculated+science+that+uses+art.+%23amwriting+%23coverart+%23bookcover&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-cover-ideas\/\" data-link=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Book+cover+design+really+just+art%2C+but+more+of+a+calculated+science+that+uses+art.+%23amwriting+%23coverart+%23bookcover&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-cover-ideas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"sw-click-to-tweet\"><span class=\"sw-ctt-text\">In truth, book cover design really isn't art, but more of a calculated science that uses art.<\/span><span class=\"sw-ctt-btn\">Click To Tweet<i class=\"sw swp_twitter_icon\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-you-include-deeper-messages-within-your-cover\">Should You Include Deeper Messages within Your Cover?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforhidden.png\" alt=\"great-hidden-meanings\" class=\"wp-image-14144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforhidden.png 700w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforhidden-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some authors take a neat approach to their book cover design through the use of subtle messaging. Some of these deeper messages have come in the form of plot foreshadowing, holographic book covers, and even cryptic ciphers leading to the CIA's very own backyard!<br><br>For example, the cockroach reading a book references Kafka\u2019s <em>Metamorphosis<\/em>, arguably his most famous work. It\u2019s the cover for <em>Why You Should Read Kafka Before You Waste Your Life<\/em>, and any reader familiar with the subject matter will pick up on the cover\u2019s message immediately.<br><br>One of my favorite examples shown above is <em>Against Happiness<\/em>. What do you think of when you picture a smiley face? I'll go to wager you thought of a simple yellow and black, emoji-like grin. It's iconic.<br><br>With this book cover, the same elements from that original smiley are used, but with a twist. Instead of displaying a happy smile, the book's title curves downward like a frown, supporting the words \u201cAgainst Happiness.\u201d<br><br>While you\u2019re thinking about the cover, don\u2019t forget your content! I made a video showing you how to copyright your book in under 7 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HJ5aWu-iKbE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-there-a-symbol-representative-of-the-book-s-theme\">Is There A Symbol Representative of the Book\u2019s Theme?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforsymbols.png\" alt=\"book-cover-symbolism\" class=\"wp-image-14145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforsymbols.png 700w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforsymbols-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Building on the subtlety point, our brains automatically associate certain symbols with particular themes. For instance, if you see a crown on a book cover, there's a good chance some sort of royalty is involved.<br><br>What about a gavel? That could definitely symbolize a legal thriller. Use these to your advantage. When a potential reader is scanning the shelves (or Amazon search results), you want to give them visual clues for what kind of book you're offering. Symbols can do that \u2014 by speaking to both your genre and your specific plot.<br><br>The lonely dinosaur in <em>All My Friends are Dead<\/em> is a lighthearted way to symbolize the more weighty topic of death.<br><br>With <em>The Godfather<\/em>, you see the marionette in the upper right-hand corner. That\u2019s because we all know that the Don pulls the strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-you-make-your-cover-simpler-and-more-minimalistic\">Should You Make Your Cover Simpler and More Minimalistic?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforminimal.png\" alt=\"minimal-book-cover-ideas\" class=\"wp-image-14146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforminimal.png 700w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforminimal-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I know I'm not the only one who's run across a book cover that has just got way too much going on. These sorts of covers turn me, and most readers, away from the book. I'm not trying to play Where's Waldo when looking at a book cover (unless it's a Where's Waldo book).<br><br>If you're selling online, think about the thumbnail picture your book cover will have on Amazon or Kindle. Book covers with a loud color scheme and too many focal points will appear messy and convoluted in a thumbnail.<br><br>Sometimes, more straightforward book cover ideas are the best options. Even for more complicated covers, you want to remove anything that might be an unwanted distraction or unnecessary clutter. Even eliminating a subtitle can make a big difference from a design perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-would-your-cover-look-better-in-black-and-white\">Would Your Cover Look Better in Black and White?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforbw.png\" alt=\"great-black-and-white-book-covers\" class=\"wp-image-14147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforbw.png 700w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/layoutforbw-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you're unsure whether your color selections will be overly gaudy, black and white may be a great option. This option is getting increasingly popular as the years go by, particularly for intense or mysterious content.<br><br>If you have a more intellectual or historical book, an understated color scheme or plenty of white space could lend a sense of gravitas. This is probably not the best choice for a novel aimed at high school students.<br><br>Just because the color palette is black and white doesn't mean that the graphic design has to be minimalistic. When correctly done, even complex book covers look great as B&W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-have-awards-and-endorsements-to-add-to-your-cover\">Do You Have Awards and Endorsements to Add to Your Cover?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Untitled-design-1-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Book covers with awards example\" class=\"wp-image-21151\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Untitled-design-1-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Untitled-design-1-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Untitled-design-1-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Untitled-design-1-1-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Untitled-design-1-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Social proof is a powerful sales technique.

Most of the time, following what works is the way to go. Since an excellent book cover idea can help bring success to your book, it's best to invest some time into it.<br><br><strong>How do you make a catchy book cover?<\/strong> You make a catchy book cover by keeping your design tasteful and matching your cover to your book\u2019s genre. Symbols, hidden meanings, the right color scheme, and visible awards can also help attract potential readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I shop on Amazon or look for books, I examine the book covers closely. If any book cover ever jumps out at me, I save the cover image in a folder I keep on my desktop. That way, when I go to design future book covers, I can look at previous design inspiration.<br><br>At the end of the day, the goal is to sell more books. A great book cover idea can help you do just that. If you want to dive even deeper, check out my article on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-cover-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">master the science of book cover design<\/a>.<br><br><strong>How do I design a book cover? <\/strong>You can design a book cover by brainstorming about your book\u2019s theme, characters, and title with a great graphic designer.<br><br>It\u2019s always better to get a graphic designer to weigh in, even if you have your own design ideas or even have some graphic design experience. They know the ins and outs of Photoshop and other design programs, what sells, and if your idea fits the genre well. Plus, they aren\u2019t too close to the story to get attached to a bad design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are my 5 favorite resources for a great book cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/ebooklaunchcoverdesign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebook Launch<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Professional quality book cover design, affordable pricing and can design for any genre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Fiverr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fiverr<\/a> is a great option for those who need a design on a budget.
