Hi guys,
Well I've taken a big step in my story, it's at a proof reader's. So to take my mind off it, and to exterminate the butterflies from my stomach, I've started working on the cover.
I have the title, the font, the placement and all that typing stuff. The only thing I'm stuck on is what is drawn on the cover. A cover should have an element of the story on it correct? Usually the character and something in the story. But how do you decide which other element? Also how do you decide what pose? Which direction it's going (up, down, left, right, curving)? Is it just on the front cover or does it flow to the spine?
I know I want a bit of the setting, Portland, and the main character, but I'm not sure if the city should be like the background and the character should be foreground or maybe the city part extends from fore to back with something else in the background.
How the heck does one decide on the cover? I wrote the beginning of the story with less hassle.
