Moved the letters more to the right... like I said, it's hard for me to kno where to place things without guidelines.
Either way, bigger version. Enjoy: [link]
(And don't forget to save. I'll be deleting this file tomorrow.

The back of the book is called a "spine" (Makes sense right, since it's the thing that holds the book together?) And it's okay if a bit of Miku's hair gets on there as long a your can fit your wording in nicely.

It's... not something you can really make a tutorial about. :S
It's sort of something you experiment with and get a sense for. I personally have a lot of fun making logos.
Examples: [link] - :thumb186819184: - :thumb183300534:

But to make something you lie, you have to play around with editing programs A LOT.
Anyways, Glad you like!

I moved everything more to the left because I assume why the images are like that is because you want room for the spine.
It's a bit hard to figure out how to place the lettering without any indication of where the spine starts & stops but I went with my gut.
Here's the open jacket version: [link] and here's the version from a front cover point of view (with space on the right for the spine): [link]
The download button to the right can have you DL the full size.

So I went with the Japanese logo/writing for Hatsune Miku with "Nonsense Fantasy" as a subtitle. (I kinda assume that's the series's name)
And because the title of the story seems to be "war of the flies" I went with a harsher font to emphasize that & make it seem more predominant as a title. Sorry the Japanese name is a bit pixelated. I couldn't find a crisp version so I had to take a lower res image & edit it manually to make it look better.

Normally I charge points or cash for lettering but I felt like helping. lol
If anyone asks about me, tell them that I don't do it for free unless I'm feeling generous and that doesn't happen often because I have a lot of work to do. D:

Anyhoo, hope you like it. & I wouldn't mind a mention of my time for the lettering.
Again, thanks for faving all my work! LOL there's a lot more to come!

thank you sooo much!!! so awesome of you for making this for me and even for free *-* idk how i could repay you for this
haha everything is perfect as you did it~ omg i could've never imagined something looking this awesome x333 actually i almost was giving up on doing this anymore, but now as i got such an amazing cover i just have to make the manga! but i think imma first try to get a little bit better and get mangastudio and then imma do it lol and until then i guess the story could be a bit more detailed too

but there is just that you actually made a smaller image, but that isnt any big harm lol and that you cut off a bit of miku's hair xD but i think imma just make it back there lol not like its much of work ^.^

and dont worry imam credit you in the description

I didn't move any of the drawings on the image. The only thing I changed was the letters though I think I did use the posted image instead of the DLed version. Give me 5 minutes and I'll have a higher res & a bigger image for you.

This is really lovely but can I make one tiny critique? The layout is quite cool but the lettering doesn't feel quite right. It feels a bit slapped on.
I suggest playing with the fonts & use some layering techniques to make your letter pop. Otherwise, they're a bit lost in the BG.
The layout for the cover itself is really nice and I think it would be a shame to put such an average writing with such a nice layout.

I made a cover for giggles myself of one of my OC stories and I customized the lettering so it really identifies with the story.
Here's an example of the cover: [link]
And here are the letters on their own: [link]
You don't have to go this far but something that stands out a bit would definitely make this look really complete!

i know what you mean, but i really have nooo idea about things like letters design and so on... so i searched over 1 hour for a good font, but sadly there were none... and i thought (it was maybe 2:00 AM) "I spent over 3 hours on this f*****g Cover!! i'll just upload it with a crappy font >x<" so it came to this ^^'

hmmmhh since you are good at this stuff.. could you plz make me smth ? :3

but beware, the writing shouldnt go any farther to the right side of the pic then those atm, coz i made the whole cover of the manga (for printing) as one picture and so its also on the back side of the book : P
