YA Covers

I hadn't had much time or energy for reading and blogging lately, having lost my job last week. Still, this looked like too much fun to try, and didn't take very long.

This was my first try. I think I can sense a flop.






















Here was my second try:






















Much better!



Directions:

CREATE YOUR DEBUT YA COVER

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

The name that appears is your author name.

2 – Go to “Random Word Generator” or click http://www.websitestyle.com/parser/randomword.shtml

The word listed under “Random Verb” is your title.

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

Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.

4 – Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in.

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

  1. Looks like you had rotten luck with that first picture. And wtf? Cantillate? What sort of verb is that? I'm surprised ANY photo came up. Morrigan tried this and got "reiterate" as his first verb and that had no photo results so we had to try again.

    Lots of people ignored the people rule, too, but that made for some fun ones. I'll link to you. Sorry again about your job. :(

  2. Good for you for sticking with the rule so well. Your first try was interesting but I hate to admit, I'm going to have to look up 'cantillate.'

    I do hope you are doing alright with being jobless. I hope a new job will come your way soon.
