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

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.

In that case the cover is pretty suggestive 🙂 . 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…

D :beam:

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.

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’?
