I Made A Book Cover For A Thriller Story I Wrote

I love a good thriller, and when I saw the author for this month for the TOIWriteIndia contest had given a prompt where we had to come up with a story of a thriller genre, I was super excited.

I was skeptical at first about my 'ability' to write thrilling stories, but my brain managed to hatch something in the end. And voila, I had written my very first crime story. (Well...sorta :P )

I also had a little celebration in my head for finishing it a day before the last day - which is tomorrow. Because that's never happened before. I'm very bad at keeping up with deadlines.

I can't reveal the story to you as per the rules of the competition, but I did manage to make a cover for the story in Photoshop. It's not a requirement but, I just thought I would do something extra. For fun. (My brain: I see what you did there. You want the author to notice you. You cheeky monkey!)

Of course, where would I be without all the tutorials to teach me how to do stuff. :D

I found an interesting tutorial on YouTube titled 'How to make a scary wall scrawled with blood.' And, since my storyline had a killer in it, I thought why not go the gory route for the cover.

Well, I'm pretty satisfied with the way it turned out (for a first book cover), and here it is for you to judge. What do you think? Would you be like -

'Hm..I wanna see what's inside.'

(or)

'Meh, this looks cheesy as F*'

Comment and let me know. :)

'You Made Me A Killer' by Anusuya Subramanian

If you've reached here, thanks for reading, mate. And I hope you have a great day ahead. 

P.S. Been watching a lot of Australia's Got Talent on YouTube. You can notice the influence it's had on me here. 'Mate' here strictly means 'friend' ya'll! :D I googled it just to be sure I was using it appropriately in my blog post, but google disappointed me with its first result. Hence this little explanation towards the end. Wasn't necessary but, ......... whatever. Here's a candy 🍬

Byeee!!!
