Amusing ... but I'm glad it wasn't any longer. I'm not exactly sure why pictures of real people stop her from imagining the characters, but drawn people do not. But her starting point, I think, is especially valid/useful/important: simplicity. It's even more important in these days of small thumbnail views where complex covers become a blur. It also helps to avoid many of the worst offenses in cover design.
