Should I Pay If I Use A Photo From Google In My Book Cover

Where can i make an online book cover for Wattpad?

I used to use picnik but since they shut down I've been using picmonkey.com. You can use one of your own pictures or save one from google images or something, and edit it and add effects on the site.

What is the going rate for book cover models?

What size does the cover of a wattpad story have to be?

This is my first time making a cover for my wattpad story that I'm coming up with, and i got a picture off of google for the background. How big do the pictures need to be? I'm using gimp for the words and border and what not. I just want to know what proper size the picture needs to be in order to upload.


P.s I'm really interested in making my own so sorry those who might wanna help :/

How would I become a book cover model?

Often, the images for book covers are taken from stock photography sites such as http://www.gettyimages.com or http://www.istockphoto.com. On stock photo sites, photographers upload their photography of models, landscapes, foods, etc and designers go to them when a photo is needed. When they find the one they like, the photographer is paid a certain amount based on the usage of the photo, and usually there is a contractual agreement with the model. This contract varies based on the usage.

If a book's cover designer decides there really should be a photo shoot to get just the right photo, they will often hire a photographer and generic modeling agency to get what they need.

There's no way to guarantee that you can be on a book cover. The best thing you could do would be to have an "in" with a particular publishing company (a friend or family member or friend-of-a-friend working there) and, as you pursue a normal modeling career, you may get a call for a shoot.

Even then, the chances are slim :(

edit:
Authors have very little control over their book covers, unless they are self-publishing. Book covers are designed through the publishing company. Some publishers give authors some artistic freedom in the creative process of designing a book cover, but it's not the norm.
