“Black Inked A journey of the soul Pearl”?
Seriously–this author actually took a completed, finished cover design and threw it into the Amazon/CS Cover creator. She then overrode the existing design by simply slapping the upper banner on there, ignoring that it was obscuring her byline, presumably and used that hideous, quasi-sci-fi font utterly without regard for the text already on the damn cover. As if we couldn’t all see the existing text.
I honestly don’t know how people do this kind of thing. (SMH)
Surely they just press the apply template, publish buttons and don’t look at the results.
My theory to explaining badly applied cover templates.
I assume that must be how it works, if only because I can’t imagine someone without serious cerebral trauma looking at that and saying, “It’s fine.”
Seriously, I feel like the number of lousy book covers could be cut in half if people would just look at the cover before hitting publish!
But, but, if they did that, where would we hang out around the water cooler and make fun of all the bad ones?
