This is something that gets overlooked so mch- you look at covers nowadays and you see random fonts in random places. Half the time, you can't even locate half of the title because it's on the opposite side of the cover, in twelve different fonts.
Well, I already went over fonts, so I won't go on about that.
The key is, you cant to keep the fonts all together. People don't want to hunt down parts of your title. They're not going to have, or want to use, the time to do that. But yet it's something that most cover makers do.
When you have your title picked out, you should always put it in the middle. Put you can always put it on the top or bottom, though it should always be alined in the middle. Always. Don't try to be creative with it. That's when people go overboard and everything starts to look bad.
There are times when you can have the title on the side, but you should only do that if you really, really know what you're doing.
The way you make the title look is your choice- but don't forget everything I said in the past.
Now for the author name. Where do you possibly put that? Personally, I always space the letters out and stretch it along the bottom or the top of the cover. It looks clean and professional. Another tip that I'll also talk about it later chapters: you should make the authors name lighter than other things, or make it look a little translucent. It just looks better I gess. You can also put the names in other places, like on a design, or other places like that.
So this is a pretty free subject, but if you're not used to making covers and how-to, always stay with the simplest forms. Simple is better. Just remember that. It's the most important thing to remember. Also! I will be opening a graphic school soon, so you can join if you would like, I will only be accepting 10 people! No more!
