Black and whites are my favorite!.

It looks like it could be a cold book!.!.!.!. As in, a book about a woman haunted or abandoned!.!.!.!.

How amazing!. Made my artistic part of the day!.

Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's a great photo, but I can't tell you if it would make a great cover or not!. It depends on the type of book, and it also depends on who owns the copyright!. You would have to get permission from the photographer!.

also, designing a book cover involves more than picking out a photo!. It involves designing with the whole cover in mind, and using typography that fits well, visual elements that support the message of your book, etc!.!.!.

Before you design the cover, take a few moments to jot down the following:

1!. A quick overview of the book (this will get your creative juices flowing)
2!. Your target audience!. Who are they!? What are their interests!? What kind of design would speak to them!?
3!. Look and Feel!. Based on what the book is about and who your target audience is, determine things like which typography would be best, your color scheme and whether you will use photographic elements or illustrations!.
4!. Message!. Determine what the message of your book is, and ask yourself if your look and feel truly supports that message!.

When you're done, you can start designing the cover!. Then, when you're finished, ask the opinion of multiple people whom you respect and who are educated/experienced in graphic design!. Make revisions as needed, and you should be left with a really great cover!Www@QuestionHome@Com

er, I don't know!.!.!.!.it looks like a very modern victorian girl!. honestly the dark lipstick makes her look either like a modern goth girl, or a hooker victorian girl!.!.!.yech!. Maybe if you got more details of the dress in, and did it in a sepia, or with an ochre filter, instead of just black and white!. Very interesting picture, though!. Doing it by the window was a very good choice!. You might want to choose a more victorian looking prop, though!.!.!.idk, it just kind of sticks out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

very nice picture, good use of black and white, however, I think this would fit better with a book about a gothic-type girl and not a victorian girl!.!.!. victorian era was all about lace and frills pastel pinks, yellows, blues!.!.!.

hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends on what type of book it was!. if it was a book on the depresseion or a mystery it would be cool!. but not if it's an autobiogrephy or somehtingWww@QuestionHome@Com

I love book covers!. but who is that in the pix and what does it stand for ormean!. It looks pretty gotic and if you're into that stuff then go for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, what a gorgeous picture, it would definitely make a great book cover!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

um yeah! i like it!. It gives it a sophisticated look but also mysterious/ curious or hoping/ waiting for somethingWww@QuestionHome@Com

The bar across the window is distracting!. Your head is cut-off and so are the angel's wings!.
It has a nice feel but needs some cleaning-up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
