The most critical elements in book cover design are fonts and colours
It is true that you can’t judge a book by its cover. But equally valid is that you can’t judge a book if you can’t read the title.
If you are self-publishing and your book is struggling to gain traction and sales, one reason could be the fonts you are using in your book cover design.
For a lot of self-published authors, the cost of hiring a professional designer to design a cover might be prohibitive. A custom cover can cost anywhere from $200 to $600.
There is also the choice to buy a pre-made professional cover. The price is generally between $45 to $65.

Makes a great deal of sense–readability. If you can’t read it, you won’t buy it!

I’ve made my own covers, and had pre-mades ranging from $35-85 depending. I’m not a graphic artist, but I tried. 🙂 I’d rather someone trained do it though!
Thanks for sharing this. My new book will have cover that I designed myself. We’ll see how it is accepted.
You’re welcome! Good luck to your book!
