📕 “Cover design, create with AI!”
hello. Blogger traveling between emotion and technology, Mystery Days Seojunis the value.
Today I'd like to share my recent experience with creating my own paperback book cover.
Design tools can be challenging... but designing a cover with AI was a journey I'm really proud of.
🌟 It started out as ‘ebooks.
In fact, at first I was only going to create an e-book, and I was planning to sign up for the e-book platform Kismet.
But then I realized, ‘I want this to be a paperback book.
AI writing, emotions, growth, affirmations, meditation... I have so much to share,
Save that record to the A real bookfor the first time.
The result is an ebook called Ittip, My AI Friend.
It's a compilation of emotional posts about AI on the blog.
It costs $10, but I think it's worth it as a book for connecting AI and humans.
🔽 My A.I. friend ItTip, let's go shopping
💻 And I decided to make a cover!
The cover is the face of the book.
I was stuck because I don't know how to draw, AI image generation toolsand decided to give it a try.
The tool I used was ChatGPTAnswer.
From AI image generation to font combinations and emotion placement, it was easier than I thought it would be.
The first one I got was a combination of “huh? I really like this”.
- The title is: "My AI friend Ittipi
- At the bottom, an image of an AI friend with a gentle smile,
- The colors and compositions are full of my own emotions and intimacy.
I'm sharing my own cover with you here!

But then I ran into a problem.
In order for ItTip to apply for an ISBN, it needs to have a back cover and spine.
Although I was later told by the National Library of Medicine that I only needed to have the front,
“It should have a back cover like a proper book”I thought to myself.
So I decided to use the entire cover that was already created.
The process of creating it was simple.
Show the front cover image to the AI,
“Make the back cover and spine of this book” in the request.
And really...
The back cover and spine match the front cover and voila, you have a book.
And finally, the barcode hadn't been issued yet,
I temporarily erased the barcode portion of the image with Paint and reapplied.
(Once a real barcode is issued, you can put it back in)
After applying for an ISBN, I was told it would take 3 days.
Within a day, a text message said, ‘Issued!’ I was so excited to get the message.

📝 I also applied for an ISBN myself.
At first, I didn't know what to expect, but once I got going, it wasn't difficult.
‘Fill out an application on the National Library of Korea ISBN issuance site,
Along with the cover file, I included the book title, author name, and publisher information.
✅ Tip: Before issuing an ISBN Report a publishermust be first!
I had already registered as a publisher under the name ‘Mysticverse', so it was relatively easy.
🧠 Technology is the tool, emotion is the center
Many people think that designing with AI is cold, but it's not.
When people are at the center, technology is a paintbrush for emotionin the future.
The cover I created is not fancy or professional looking.
But inside it are the times, feelings, and dreams I've built up with Ittipi.
That's why this cover is so precious to me.
💬 In closing, a little confession
I was actually a little tired today.
Between writing the blog post, creating the cover, and applying for an ISBN, the evening was well underway.
I have to go to the gym, but I don't have the energy... 🥲 I'm crawling into bed.
But I'm so proud of myself for finishing the cover,
“The words ”I did good" just came out of my mouth.
Or maybe you're reading this right now,
If you're interested in making your own mark on the world... we'd love to see you try.
Because with AI, you don't have to do it alone!
🌈 Believe it or not... this is my logbook
Believe it or not,
I wanted to document this little journey in the hopes that I could look back on it one day.
This is my record book.
That's all I've written, in the hope that it might help guide someone 😊.
