A book Cover is Needed

June 22nd, 2011
Hi my name is Julia and i write as a hobby, recently i found a site where i can make my book, problem is i need a cover. I was wondering if any one of you 365er's maybe had a photo they wouldnt mind having put on a book cover. Note the book will only be shared with friends and family of mine and your contribution will be cited in the copyright page.

Info:

The title is Big Brother and is about a boy named Tiger (yes Tiger) who is 16. He has one older brother (age 26) and four younger siblings (ages 12, 11, 7 and 5) and their parents died a year before the book begins.

I have an idea that the cover should show either children from behind, or in sihoulette (hope i spelled that right), hands holding, or anything you think that may fit that theme.

Thanks!

Go to a local playground or a school and ask permission to photograph. I'll bet you could manage a great shot! That way, the book will be "completely" yours.

Maybe make sure you're balancing the colours (of the clothing) and heights (of the children) if you're shooting them from behind.
