I appreciate your comments. However, your current cover looks like a cheesy meme already and it conveys the WRONG idea. You do HARM along with whatever good is supposedly in your book (I haven't read it). Either switch to an equally cheesy ACCURATE image (there is plenty of copyright free clip art) OR ACT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL AND SHELL OUT FOR A DECENT ARTIST/GRAPHIC DESIGNER.

You're entitled to your opinion, and so am I. That's how this works. My respectfully disagreeing with you doesn't imply that I'm not acting like a professional, and there's nothing "inaccurate" about cover elements that are SYMBOLS to begin with. In literature and art, a symbol is something that represents something else without being literal. They've been used for book covers for works in all genres, for all of publishing history, since the invention of the printing press. Your interpretation of those symbols and what they mean AND the effect they will have on other people is totally, 100% subjective. Sorry, that's a fact.

I appreciate your input and have taken it into account, but being on a self-righteous high horse doesn't automatically make you correct.

Not self-righteous. I have professional creds in art and design. I DO judge a book by its cover. LOL!
