SUBJECT: Having Your Ebook Ghostwritten Lesson 39 of 50: What Makes A Great Ebook Cover?

Hi {!firstname_fix},

When you hire a designer, you're giving up the
reins on your cover art to some extent. You can
definitely use your gut instinct (which is
usually right anyway) to determine when a cover
is just right for your eBook. If your gut doesn't
speak to you, you can also make sure your cover
art is good by asking yourself and answering some
questions. Does the artwork stand out proudly on
your web page? You don't want it to blend in with
the background or be barely noticeable. Whether
it's by color, texture, shape, exclamation
points, or professional looking artwork, your
designer needs to know how to add enough pizzazz
to your cover art to get you noticed. This
doesn't mean that you need microscopic detail or
complicated figures or drawings. Sometimes
simplicity does the job quite well. Artists know
that. Look for the "stand out" factor on his
designs. 

Is the title prominent on the cover? You don't
want too many words on the cover. Stick with the
title, a byline, and short words. You may be able
to effectively include a short bulleted list, but
not much more. When you quickly scroll through
web pages, you should be able to remember from a
quick glance what the title was on your eBook
cover. If the title isn't lodged in your memory
after a passing glance at the picture, then the
artwork needs a face lift. 

Does the cover use four colors or less? Although
rainbows are pretty, they don't stand out as much
as solid colors. You can actually get by with
three colors. In most cases, you'll need at least
one more color besides just black and white. Just
like web pages can look unprofessional with too
many animated graphics and background textures
(moon craters, wood grain, tiles with photographs
on them, whatever), likewise, your cover does not
require all these frills.
