PBB Covers

Does anyone know the preferred dimensions (height and width) for the cover (i.e. image) for a PBB?  I would like to have them consistent with other Logos resources if possible.  Thanks!

    I haven't really figured that out either.  I kind of wish it would "wrap" whatever graphic we upload around a digital book frame to make it look like a book.  

    I wish it would automatically re-size the graphic or at minimum tell us the preferred dimensions.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    If you mean simply in terms of proportion (as opposed to specific pixel count) then I doubt there is one; ANET and the Hermeneia volumes are proportionately wider than most books, and the Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary is wider still. Most books seem to fall somewhere between a 1.55:1 and 1.45:1 height-to-width ratio.

    I've been making my PB covers at 500 pixels (height) X 325-345 pixels (width), and they look very nice when you see them on the Resource Information page (which is where they are displayed at their greatest size in Logos). Logos tends to use lower resolution images, I've noticed.

    I actually just copied and pasted a real book cover into Photoshop and have used it as a template, fitting my new images over top on different layers, then cropping it for width and saving it as a .jpg.

    O.K. I found out  has 80 to 120 pixels. 

    With https://www.artguru.ai/de/ where you can choose 2:3 you can let you create an image. Put the description on it and you have a cover.
