I'm taking the plunge and attempting to create a cover for a book I plan to self publish next year. I'm a newbie at photo manipulation and using Gimp, so I don't really know what I am doing.
I took a few pictures from Fotolia to see if I could pull something off. (Excuse the watermarks. I am just trying this out and don't want to buy the photos until I know for sure which ones I want.)
The story is paranormal romance - my take on vampires. It takes place in Chicago, hence the skyline on the one cover.
Do either of these covers look any good? Which one is better and what should be changed?
