Generative eBook Covers
I applaud this effort from the sense that generated book covers all seem to be so ugly and undesigned. There's nothing wrong with a generic, but well designed book cover. I mean, how many virtually identical hardbound books are there sitting on people's bookshelves...and they look beautiful instead of ugly.<p><a href="http://bibliotique.net/images/080511-aa-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://bibliotique.net/images/080511-aa-1.jpg</a><p><a href="http://www.dargate.com/cat/248_auction/248_images/1722.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.dargate.com/cat/248_auction/248_images/1722.jpg</a><p>The difference is that there is some sense of trying to make them at least a little eye pleasing. Decent fonts, some pretty gold leaf designs.<p>This is not good enough <a href="http://i.imgur.com/YqjnSsF.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/YqjnSsF.png</a><p>Some kind of more clever generative art I think is called for. It should even have some kind of sensible themeing, like all books from the same author look kind of alike or something.<p><a href="http://graywolfseo.com/wp-content/uploads/library-shelf.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://graywolfseo.com/wp-content/uploads/library-shelf.jpg</a><p>I'm not sure I like how the examples provided here look especially, but I think the idea is a good one.
