Make the Sci-Fi Signal Clear
A strong Sci-Fi cover shows its world, subgenre, and mood quickly while keeping the title readable at thumbnail size.
Show the scale of the world
Use one strong sense of scale: a starship against a planet, a person beneath a massive structure, or a city shaped by technology.
Make the subgenre obvious
Cyberpunk, space opera, dystopian fiction, and retro science fiction should each use different visual signals.
Protect the title
Leave a calm, high-contrast area for the title and author name so the cover still works as a small thumbnail.
Use color with intent
Neon contrast, cold industrial tones, pulp color, and warm planetary light can each point to a different kind of future.
