Interesting to read about the process. I actually love the Fiverr book cover for something even though it’s not right for your book. I both self publish and work with small publishers and in both cases have had mixed experiences with cover design. I am not at all good with visual design myself (really never learned photoshop basics) and prefer to source it out but of course there’s cost.
So a lot of what you’ve said resonates although personally I tend to just leave a lot up to the designer and accept what comes. For better or worse.
I will say I have minimal input to the design team at Schiffer for my newest book, The Artist’s Mind and I LOVED what they came up with. It’s an interesting part of the business for sure.
I loved Population Miniscule! go for it again!
