The image should be an original depiction of the theme of your book and it should be something that you believe truly represents the book that you read.
Once you have completed the creation of the AI image, then you will need to explain why you chose this image and how the image truly represents the theme of the book. In this section, you may also want to connect a brief summary of your book to the image that was created, to help better clarify the image and why you chose that specific image.
This section should be about 1-2 paragraphs of explanation for your AI Image and brief info about the book.
