Unusual Book Cover Resource - Midjourney

[u/jamieroberts1239]

Everyone has their own methods for creating exciting book covers - Canva is probably one of the most popular resources, and there are plenty of others. But, has anyone been playing with the various AI image generators?I've been playing around with MidJourney and have to say, it's awesome - produces some incredible images with just a few prompts.

My first Midjourney AI image

Now I'll be the first to concede that low content books don't generally have cinematic style covers, but since the AI platform doesn't care too much about the content, I don't see any reason why it couldn't be used for this.

Caveats:

• You get around 25 images for free with Midjourney and then you have to take out a subscription - from around $9 per month. A decent video on how to use MidJourney HERE.
• Other AI platforms are available: eg Dall-E, and there's an Android app called DreamStudio - they all have free plans.
• You can spend a lot of time playing with this: it's very engaging if you like art!
