I'm reading Suck it up by Brian Meehl and in all honesty I'm finding it rather hard to answer these questions because I don't have the back cover with me. Luckily, having the Internet I will search for the back cover of my book. Lucky me right?
The back cover of the book is actually already pretty cool, so I'm trying really hard to think of alternative titles, but this is what I've come up with so far:
Alternative title #1 - Limitless love (catch phrase - "1 human,1 vampire, together forever").
Alternative title #2 - The kiss to love (catch phrase - "One kiss changes a vampire's heart").
I can't decide which title I prefer over the other because I like them both. However, I believe that my alternative title #2 would work better, because it goes with what it said in the back cover. The back cover described a kid kissing a girl, but after kissing her his teeth hurt, like if his fangs wanted to come out and suck the girls blood. My new design would look like this : First of all, I would put the title in the top left corner of the cover. It would be a light red color that has a bloody type of font. The first letter in the word love of the title would have blood dripping down the cover, forming the left half of a heart while the the last word of love would do the same but forming the right half of the heart. It would look like if it were stained and couldn't be removed. The background would have a light solemn black color, so that the heart stands out. This will make the heart formed by the word love look like a it is fading into the back ground. In the lower left corner, I would put a picture of a vampires mouth, black lips, pale skin and white teeth. The only thing visual would be the mouth of the vampire. The lips would be smooth looking yet kind of chapped. His mouth would be half open showing all lower teeth of the lips, and the front two teeth, with another teeth aligned left to them. Lastly it would show a beautiful fang, starting fat going down into a sharp edge. All this would fade into the background. Although, it may sound like a simple cover, I prefer it to be this way because I like things simple, but elegant.
