If this were my student, assuming, of course, that I have such, I would take this guy aside and instill in him the rules of heraldic blazoning so that he might understand that using any font that too closely resembles a background color is an immediate fail.
in fact there have been several such fails here every week, but rarely this egregious.
As I was thinking with the cover for the book Selkie Child a couple of weeks back, it might make a certain kind of sense to use a landscape-oriented picture for a book you’re only going to be publishing electronically (although I note the author didn’t orient any of the covers for any of his other e-books that way) if you expect all your readers to be reading it while holding their phones sideways (or on their widescreen laptop and desktop computers at home); but if you’re gonna go with that theory of cover design, at least be consistent about it. Don’t go slapping a portrait-oriented title and byline on a rotated landscape-oriented picture like the chump who designed this cover did.
