New Leather Cover with Text
Hey,
for everyone who wants to use the cover with the 'Generate Cover - Plugin' here is the zip. The fond I used is the free 'Sherlock Holmes' fond from here. You have to download it before you use it IF you want the same look. MiniMouse |

My only regret is that you can't use two images on the same cover in the Generate Covers plugin: I wanted to make a cover with your Leather Cover 1 as background and an illustration at the bottom superimposed on top, but that didn't work out and I didn't feel like breaking out GIMP for it. Ah well. Either way thank you very much for the linen covers: I've made myself a very nice default cover setting with your Linen Cover 3.

More new own covers
Made a little foto tour with my husband today and took pictures of textures and other stuff AND tested them in combination and with different filters in pixlr.
You want to know from what? I tell you: my leather jacket concrete (two different kinds) park bench with peeling off color shale colored paper THEY LOOK SOOOO COOOL ![]() They are without ornaments but I think they don't need them anyway. The first one looks like an really, really antique book, don't you think? The last one looks more like a paper book cover but there is leather in it too. These (again) are all my OWN pictures. Nothing taken from anything!!! AND (again) feel free to use. MiniMouse |

Need to know what works for everyone because I make them just for fun. I'm normally not using them myself because I most of the time read fanfiction and with that I prefer the series-covers I made but I love to make them. And yeah, I know, when you have an E-Ink reader the fun of the covers get lost some times but with an tablet or in the calibre library I hope they will look great. BUT I will see if I can come up with some more covers that work in black and white better. I keep that in mind. The last one I uploaded here should already do that. MiniMouse |

Thanks for all those generic covers. I love the leather, linen and antique ones with the ornaments. I don't read fan fiction, but I do read public domain works. Often those works have no cover, especially if they were never officially published. As they are old works, those generic covers with some nice scripty-swirly font will look great for them
![]() Some karma for you ![]() Oh yeah. You can't imagine how much I like nice covers in Calibre (and also, covers in my music player: all albums HAVE to have a cover). I detest it if there is no good cover. It makes the book or album look unfinished. |

Uhuu your last 4 are really good (I especially like the last one)!
I've tried a few and I noticed that I'll have to use only those with light/pale colors because even a blue one I thought wasn't dark is too dark on my b/w reader and I can't see the title/author/etc (though I'll try to use a white bold text to see if it changes, but on my calibre library it was great!). |

![]() On my foto tour I took pictures of leaves and blossoms (besides of textures), so I will also experiment with ornaments in my future covers. The feedback showed me though, that it would be a good idea to give an antique and a more modern version from now on if it is possible, so the covers will work on tablet (or calibre) and in black and white on an E-Ink reader. So there should be something for everyone. Quote:
![]() It would be nice to have a collection of different styles and ideas for everyone. So go for it! I'm not sure if I should put the covers still in this threat though or if I should start a new threat because it has no longer anything to do with fanfiction. Quote:
Thanks again for your feedback. It helps a lot to know what people like or don't like and which covers work form them. MiniMouse |
