I’m still worried about the title font. Is the colour good? Does it look like it’s floating off the page?
Does this look cool and unnerving?

Alas, I also lack the resources to purchase pro-level art for a book that will never pay me back.
My usual design consultant [aka best-beloved SO] is too busy to help me before the October 4 publication date.
So. Speaking as someone who lacks design skills to everyone who actually has them: What do I need to do to make this cover look cool?

This is the shit I put together

It all stems from the concept that there’s a point in my story where my antagonist is completely covered in… things… [Spoilers] Therefore, the view plate of their helmet would be all HUD.
All I had to do was design the farging HUD.
