RE: [CONTEST] Book Cover Art/Design for Upcoming STEEMIT Exclusive, Original Novel "TORN - Between Two Worlds" - Winner Receives 100% SBD Post Author Reward

in #contest7 years ago

Well for full rights hopefully the payout is above 150$ - if it is below that it would be better for the artist to have access/rights to the design. Since not even 150$ is enough for full rights to a book cover. They are being undervalued at that point should they give away the rights. 500$ is standerd pricing for full rights to book cover work.

Huh. I did not know that and just wanted to avoid any accusations of having stolen the artwork for my cover. I guess I'll remove that condition, as it does not look like the payout will be sufficient then. Thanks for informing me.

No worries - When you give full rights away you are not even permitted to share/show the art yourself unless otherized by the person who paid for the piece. If you want to really spice it up - give a 5% royalty share and rights to use the image for their own purposes and see if people get interested then.

That's an interesting idea, but I think the main hurdle towards getting people interested is getting noticed and getting people to read the post content. I can't put everything in the title.

I'm just thinking out loud really. I do covers for a lot of stuff. So I just thought if cover artists are what you're looking for- gotta speak their language a little bit.
