I need creative advice...

[Tannaidhe]

As some of you may know, I'm working on an e-book, that may in time get properly published. It's going to be titled 'A Healthy Body Begins with the Basics: A Beginner's Guide to Body Care'. I'm slogging away on the text; I'm doing pretty well, two week's work, and I'm almost through with page 50 (8½ x 11 size pages). Not too shabby.

What I need is some advice for the cover. I want something more 'decorative' than just plain text; at the same time, I don't want anything that is going to kill peoples' printers (if I go for proper publication later, I can always do a more graphic-intense cover). I thought at first of a very 'washed-out' picture of a woman bathing like in the famous painting... but I'm not having any luck finding such a picture that is usable for 'commercial' use.

So... the brainstorming session is hereby open. What do you all think? lol

*painful grimace as she tries to come up with something brilliant*

Ya got me! But I'll put it in my little thinker, and see if anything pops out later.

I KNEW I forgot to update somewhere I asked for advice!

I'm thinking of using this pic for the background:



The way I have it written out, the main title is in big bold letters just above her head in two lines, then the secondary title is in smaller letters at her chest level. It kinda looks like she's either reaching for or holding up the main title and reading the secondary, then my name is down at the bottom of her skirts.

One: I think it's fine. Two: I'm proud of you, sweetheart. More proud than I could ever possibly say in words.

Actually, I think that'll look really good! See? You didn't need any help after all.

Did you draw her?

[Tannaidhe]

No, I didn't, unfortunately. -.-

[Molly]

Well, whoever did, did a great job! I wish I could draw that well.

You are going to let us know when the book is ready, and where we can download it, right?

[Tannaidhe]

Of course. The e-book version should be up within a week or so. If I do get it published on lulu.com, it will be another month or two.
