Interesting! I've done my own book cover just for fun and my beta readers. It's gone through many iterations. I always had the image in mind, but there's so many ways to lay it out! I might just do one more tweak after reading this article. haha. Thanks @ChandlerJules for the article.

I am a member of several pre-made cover Facebook groups and follow a few premade deisgners, and I've managed to snap up a couple of excellent pre-mades for a very good price. (They are also really pretty to look at, so I don't mind seeing pre-made covers in my FB feed).

If you're writing spec fic, it can be worth joining these groups in the event that one of the covers suits somethign you've been writing (or intending to write).
