Anyone have any images of book covers that have no text on them. I would like to create a custom book covers in a photo editing software. I do not want to create a real book cover.

@ArchitekOGP Is this one of those "pinch-poke" situations I'm always hearing about? I could really go for a Coke right about now.

@hat72 Omg wow I just noticed your comment, what I just posted is pretty much identical haa. :O

Hire a graphic designer and get the job done properly lol. A cheap clip art looking cover will ruin the book before its opened. People will judge the book by its cover ha.

Peruse Craigslist and find yourself a graphic designer who will do a polished, professional-looking cover. You can usually find someone willing to work with your budget. It's well worth the investment. Despite the adage, most folks really do judge a book by its cover.
