Color contrast within the color helps readers immediately see what the book is about. For images, please make it clear what the book is about and depict the desired outcome of the target audience. Use images (whether stock or created art) to show what a thriving homestead could look like, help the viewers identify with the dream of homesteading. The cover should be professional, of high quality and impressive to show it could have been done by a high end publishing house. We are trying to attract millennials who are seeking a quieter and more sustainable way of life. Images and fonts should attract that demographic.
