Colleagues, I could use help finalizing a book cover. I used AI to generate the attached image which I'm fairly happy with, but the title font needs improvement. I have a separate version where I liked the font much better, but I could not get AI to restore it without messing up something else. So it's graphics, not a layered font, and I just want to touch it up a little. I will show you what I mean. Secondly, the man looks too young; he's supposed to be 26 years old but he looks more like 20, and the book is for adults so I need him to look more mature. I can send the selected artist an image with the look I want. There is one other very minor tweak I will describe to the selected artist - and I'm open to other suggestions. The cover is for Kindle so I do not need spine or back cover in this version. If I need them in the future that would be a separate project. The output files need to be upscaled from the 96 dpi version I've attached (see notes below). My budget for this work is quite low; while I'd love to have a cover fully developed from scratch by an artist, with no AI involved, I cannot afford it for a self-published book that is unlikely to produce much revenue. You must agree not use AI for any of your work - and you should not need to. Three things: 1) please DO NOT respond within the next 24 hours. I'll log in at this time tomorrow and discard any quick responses. 2) In your response tell me if you think the statue's eyes are already looking in the correct direction. 3) My preferred name is "Andrew". Here are my technical requirements: Final Output Size: 1600 × 2560 px (portrait) Aspect ratio: 1:1.6 (portrait) DPI: 300 RGB color space (not CMYK) Output File Formats: - High‑quality JPEG (RGB) - High‑quality PNG (RGB) The attached 1024 × 1536 cover is my near‑final design. Please adjust the canvas to the Kindle‑recommended 1600 × 2560 ratio by trimming or extending the background as needed. Quality Requirements: No visible compression artifacts Clean, sharp text Smooth edges after upscaling Final export must be crisp at both full size and thumbnail size Once these are in hand and the artwork prints cleanly at full size, the job is complete. But I need to provide the selected artist with two images showing the desired changes to the title font and the young man. I will make a selection decision on Monday, May 18, and would hope for a finished product within a week. Thank you, Andrew

Hi Andrew, I took a close look at your cover and I get exactly what you’re aiming for. The concept is strong, it just needs refinement to feel more polished and adult focused. To answer your question, the statue’s eyes feel slightly off. They don’t fully connect with the character, so a subtle adjustment could improve the interaction and tension in the scene. I can cleanly recreate and improve the title typography so it looks intentional and professional, not like flattened AI text. I’ll also age the character to look closer to 26 while keeping the original style consistent and natural. I’ll upscale your artwork properly first, then apply all edits so the final result stays crisp at full size and thumbnail. I’m comfortable meeting your Kindle specs exactly and ensuring clean, sharp output. I respect your no AI requirement and will handle this manually.
