Just to bump this back up...
If a person was interested in creating book covers, what would be the proposed "standards" for doing so. What I mean is:
- should they be a predetermined ratio?
- should they be a predetermined pixel size?
- should both colour and greyscale be provided?
- should the title and author have any specific placement requirement?
- is it not just a "one graphic" thing (i.e. do separate thumbnails need creating)?
I guess what I am looking at is some kind of guide to creating them that would generally be satisfactory for most, if not all, users. My questions above might reflect my lack of knowledge, but perhaps establishing guidelines that can be "Sticky"ed in the forum might create momentum for creation (which is, I guess, the point of this thread...I'm just sayin', is all
).
My interest, apart from creating custom covers for my own books, is that I may be able to contribute photographs as requests for covers come in.
Cheers,
Marc
