Catch
So people in publishing and writing have been writing about book covers on their blogs lately, so on KT Literary this little competition is going on.
CREATE YOUR DEBUT YA COVER
1 - Go to Fake Name Generator. The name that appears is your author name.
2 - Go to Random Word Generator. The word listed under “Random Verb” is your title.
3 - Go to FlickrCC. Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.
4 - Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar (I use Snagit Editor) to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in, as desired.
5 - Post it to your site along with this text.
I figure I'm a design student. I'm thinking of book covers as something I might want to do in the future so I had a go, here's my cover.
I had fun doing it, I haven't really used photoshop outside of uni much lately so it was nice to just have a play around again. I might end up making another one or two later.

ETA: I was bored so I made another one with a new random word for the title
