So! Book Bosses! I hope you all enjoyed the live Q4 Planning session on Monday! Be sure to catch up with it if you didnt get to see it! Ive posted it in Module 2 inside The Classroom! ... So we all know one of the hardest things to create on our Book Publishing Journey is a WINNING BOOK COVER don't we! Whether it's a non-fiction book or a fiction book, high content or low content.....your book cover is EVERYTHING! So we know the Book Cover is the make or break between sales and no sales of your book (with one exception which I won't go into right now) - but 99.9% of sales depends on a great book cover! Well......most book publishers in the past had to pay for a Book Cover designer at a rate of $30 - $300 depending on the designer and sometimes even more! 😰 But now that we have such incredible AI design tools such as ChatGPT, DALL.E, Nano Banana, MIdjourney etc............these tools are SOOO GOOD, we actually don't even need to pass work onto a designer any more! BUT..... And this is a BIG BUT!........ sadly..... AI makes mistakes. A LOT of mistakes! As we can see here with the projects I have been working on myself today! I really loved the color pallet of the AI output but there were sooo many errors with it. The cat's eyes, and feet, the champagne bottle in the bath instead of the dead dog I has asked for - the taps are wonky, I asked for a knife with blood on the floor and some bullets too and I asked for paw prints on the walls and pools of blood on the floor. I also asked for blue water in the bath and not purple! And finally, I didn't ask for any text at all and yet good old AI gave me lots of text! So all in all the AI output seemed virtually unusable! Most people would have scrapped it! __________ So I uploaded the image into Canva and got to work! I managed to find a dog that I added into the image and I hid the champagne bottle AND the wonky taps with the crime scene tape, the same with the cats weird "toes" I hid with the crime scene tape.
