Check out 100 Scope Notes this week- he's doing a whole week dedicated to book covers. So cool! Tomorrow he's interviewing "cover-designing wiz Chad Beckerman" (who just so happens to be the genius behind my own book covers!), but today we're creating book covers. Specifically picture-book covers, much to my delight :) I had so much fun making the YA cover we did a while back that I couldn't wait to try my hand at this one.

Ta-da! Here's what I came up with:



CREATE YOUR DEBUT PICTURE BOOK COVER

1 – Go to “The Name Generator” or click http://www.thenamegenerator.com/

Click GENERATE NEW NAME. The name that appears is your author name.

2 – Go to “Picture Book Title Generator” or click http://www.generatorland.com/usergenerator.aspx?id=243

Click CREATE TITLE! This is the title of your picture book.

3 – Go to “FlickrCC” or click http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/index.php

Type the last word from your title into the search box followed by the word “drawing”. Click FIND. The first suitable image is your cover.

4 – Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar to put it all together. Gettin’ creative is encouraged.

5 – Post it to your site along with this text.

(I don't think those links are copying correctly, so just go to Scope's blog and use his links :) And have fun!)
