Looking for a Graphic (BIG Points!)

For this contest I do not want poetry; I want artwork. I am publishing my second book in early September, and I need a graphic for the cover. I do not need original illustrations, but if you are up to creating one that would be great. I would credit you, of course. However, if you can find a picture on another site, that would work too. 1500 points are up for grabs!

The title of my book will be “Reflections on Glass”; this is also the theme. Here is an excerpt from my foreword: “The first chapter will contain poetry specifically related to glass, while subsequent chapters will reference glass in their titles and the content will touch upon my ‘reflections’ of the world we live in, whether these reflections be distorted or accurate.”

The chapter titles are as follows:
Reflections on Glass
Rippled Reflections
Transformed Perceptions
The Cracks in Society
Falling to Pieces
Warped Images
Smeared by Addiction
Severed by Rejection’s Shards
Tempered by Love
Held Together by Love’s Adhesive
Scratching the Surface
Clear Visions
Seeing Through the Distortion

I’m looking for something abstract like my work that evokes the book title or any of these chapter titles as well.

Any other questions, you can message me.

    Whatever picture you use, you should get permission from the artist who created the original for you to use it, especially since the book will be for sale.

    Good luck!

    That title is very inspiring as a graphic artist

    Do you prefer something simple for the cover or something more complex and colorful? I have ideas for both.

    Also what text do you want on there? Your name, etc? I have done several published graphics for poets. What dimensions do you want the cover for your book? Do you want the resolution to be 300?

      You can do something simple AND something complex. I'll appreciate either or both.

      I would like the title: "Reflections on Glass" and my name "Jessica Reigosa" on the cover but it's not necessary to include it in your entry. The dimensions are 6" by 9". I don't know about resolution.
