Suggestions

I’m making a cover for my new ebook and this is what I have so far. I’m sure I’ll be changing a lot, but I can’t think of what else to do, so I figured I’d see what you guys say. Also, I want to change the font, but I can’t seem to find one that I like, so if any of you have any suggestions… shoot

Question: What is the book about? And don’t say “How to do stuff” cause i think i got that part - be a little more specific :slight_smile: .

D :beam:

so tempting,
but i’ll spare you the joke and say this…

(originally posted by me somewhere else)
it will have everything from flash script to program tricks, to tweaking computers, to information about stuff, basically a place to store all my knowledge about stuff this way i don’t forget. and maybe help other people too. it’s gonna go beyond computers though and explain how to do other stuff, like change your oil, or switch form hardtop to softop on a jeep, or building stuff, or stuff like that. basically, everything i know.
it will be like having a digital brain. cuz i have a tendancy to misplace my real one.

the brain does not look like a brain except its color; and whats inside it? a book? giant chip?

its a hard drive heheheh

In that case the cover is pretty suggestive :slight_smile: . How about having the hard drive “plugged” into the brain - u know draw a port on the brain and connect the hdd… I think the font is right but I think it’s a little dark on the top and too bright on the bottom (relatively dark colours on the font on a black background) maybe try flipping the gradient…

P.S. Thanks for sparing me the joke… have a heart - it’s 10 AM I’m in work, it’s a bleak grey rainy morning and I wanna be in bed :sigh:

try to find real picture of brain, and then use trace bitmap so it look like a cartoon.

i would use dark dark pink lines to outline the brain rather than black ones :slight_smile:

good suggestions guys
and demonia… holy cow, i didn’t even realize how suggestive it is!!! its amazing what our subconscious does when we’re… frustrated
i think i like it just shoved in haphazardly, but i will amek it look a nicer like neo suggested… lol :wink:

hi again gina! still waving I like the cover. I think your title writing would look better with a shadow or some contrasting outlines. Maybe you could add ‘wriggle lines’ to make it look like it is moving round? like in my attachment. (its a little crude, but i hope you get the idea)

I like wriggle line, i think it would suit a book like this because they are more random and crazy.

The font you have used is great, is that ‘Snap’?

cool olly! thanks, i liek that idea too. the font is called “ren and stimpy”
its from, well, ren and stimpy… heheh (see footer)

ren and stimpy rule! sorry about how crap my sketch was - i only have paint at work! (aparently civil engineers dont need photoshop -curses!)

Im glad you like the idea though :slight_smile:
