Was going to chime in along these lines -- as a designer and artist, I'd LOVE to do book covers -- if they actually wanted art. I actually had an author friend (successfully published both traditionally and self-) suggest I look into doing covers -- and I actually listened, until she said the dreaded words "photo manipulation" and, even worse, template.
Look. You don't write a template story well you wrote romance so maybe you do. I don't do template 'art.' No.
You don't say "All the covers out there are bed! You could do better! BY DOING THE EXACT SAME THING." It just doesn't work like that.
