Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do you use to make your covers?
My equipment usually includes a computer, a mouse, some music, a cup of coffee.... The photo-editing software I usually use are Ribbet.com and Pixlr.com. Both are free and fairly intuitive when it comes quick and easy photo-editing. Sometimes, I might use Gimp or classic Microsoft Paint, (you poor, deprived Mac users...) but primarily, it's Ribbet and Pixelr, for which I'm very grateful.
Why can't I use your covers commercially?
My covers cannot be used commercially because the images, fonts, and other graphics I use are not always intended for free commercial use. Therefore, since I'm not receiving any monetary compensation for my work at this time (this is a free service), I'm not going to spend my own money acquiring the necessary licenses. Realistically, limiting myself to using Wikimedia Commons as my sole image source is just too ... limited an option at this time.
Can I hire you to make a cover that is legal (for commercial use)?
I'm considering this as an option at a later time.
