Resumen de Diseño de portada de libro

Front cover:
I envision the background like a castle, a medieval stone keep. In the foreground stands an ornate coffin on a neo-classic pedestal, partially opened, with vines and white flowers creeping out from within. I want a golden light - like nimbus or halo - arching over the coffin. Other elements maybe hanging off a few of the vines, (not necessary but might be cool), could include a black leather bustier, black leather blindfold, fishnet stockings, stiletto heeled shoes, etc.

Title: Forbidden Realm
Author: Kat O'9Tales

Objetivo del mercado(s)

Readers who enjoy reading erotica with a strong BDSM influence.

Requisitos

Debes tener

• The font of the title can be an ornate Gothic look-and-feel, in keeping with the Medieval setting of the story. I would like my pen name to be in a script font
• I'm publishing through Smashwords. From their website:
• Mechanical Requirements for Book Covers - Book covers must be shaped like a book cover (a vertical [upright] rectangle, not a square) and should include your book title and author name.
• Keep your cover image tasteful and avoid obscenity.
• 1,600 pixels wide by 2,400 pixels tall is generally a good dimension, or such similar ratio. The image must be at least 1,400 pixels wide, and the height should be greater (taller) than the width. A good guideline is to make the height between 1.3 and 1.6 times greater than the width. I think 1.5 to 1.6 usually looks best, though you and your cover designer have some flexibility here.
• Book covers cannot contain nudity, a price, or a web address (Apple, for example, will reject your book if they see a hyperlink on the book cover image), or advertisements of items not already included in the book.
• It must include the book title and author name, and the title and author name must match the title and author name inside your book and in the metadata (Metadata is what you enter on the Publish page, such as the book title, author name, book description.
• Metadata = data about something else, and in this case the “something” else is your book).
• The cover cannot be grainy, blurry or pixelated. Pixelation occurs when you start with a small image and expand the dimensions.
• Make the text crisp and clear. When ebook retailers display your cover, it’ll be shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, so you want all the cover elements to look good in a small image. This means if you make your title or author name too small on the cover, it’ll be invisible in the thumbnail.
• Your image must be in RGB color, not CMYK (at the risk of getting too technical, most image files are RGB [stands for red, green, blue], which is what’s supported by computer monitors. CMYK is a format for printing ink on paper. Most image processing applications will give you RGB automatically. If your image is in CMYK, it will be rejected by Smashwords [assuming we catch it. If we don’t catch it, the retailer will reject it]. Note that it is not easy to tell if your image is in RGB or CMYK. If your image opens in a Firefox browser, it’s RGB. If it doesn’t, then it’s probably CMYK. Your cover designer will understand.)
• Tip: Immediately after publishing your book at Smashwords, it’ll be featured on the Smashwords home page if it has a cover. Your home page feature typically lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending upon how quickly you roll off the page when others publish after you. Therefore, don’t upload your book to Smashwords until you have a good looking cover image because you want to take full advantage of your 15 minutes of fame. If you upload without a cover, the book will miss the home page feature, even if you upload the cover hours later.
