Photos for book covers

We have already talked here about the Types of Book Covers and the importance of diversifying when preparing one of the most important parts for both authors and readers in literature. Having a well-structured cover, with quality materials and correct layout helps to attract attention in order to achieve the final objective: the sale.

Tips for creating a good cover using photography

In addition to the types of book covers, there are other methods for creating a cover to make a difference when presenting the work. Photography, for example, is a technique widely used by countless authors. A well-positioned photo, with good light and conceptualized to the point of “conversing” with what is said in the text is highly recommended.

However, it is worth paying attention to the issue of copyright. In accordance with Law 9.610, of February 19, 1998, the author is certified as having the rights in relation to the work created. In other words, when choosing the photo, be aware that it is necessary to pay for certain images. Although this is a fact, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of having quality images.

How to guarantee the quality of the cover using photos?

The cover is as if it were the first contact that regular readers have with the book. Here, sensations, feelings and emotions will define whether the purchase will happen. To do this, you need to invest. However, not everyone has easy access to purchasing photographs. So, follow the text until the end and check out super tips for creating covers!

To have a cover with a good photograph that represents the true spirit of the book, it is recommended that you look for a book professional. Thus, the author's focus will be only one: the content, the story and the structure. Professionals are specialized in formatting the text correctly, arranging copyright issues and are also responsible for taking care of the photography.
