# Covers by ReadShape
## Summary
### What is this?
So. Books have covers, right? Well, yes, but actually no.
Books are tricky business.
If the book is self published then it might not have a cover or an ISBN.
Other times a book might be incredibly old and never really had a cover to begin with.
### How this helps with it?
No one is going to make covers for these books, but that doesn't mean we can just leave them naked & coverless.
We want to create a beautiful UI so we have to show _something_.
So that is what we do. We will, given the same input arguments, always create the same cover on the fly.
It will obviously not be a "real" cover, but it's better than nothing or just a gray cover.
## Examples
### What variance is there?
The covers have some variation. Each cover can be broken down into multiple pieces.
#### Cover color
A cover (might) have a unique color.
It can be the following.
- Gradient based on input hash
- Static predefined color
#### Detail placement (title & author)
Details have predefined placement, but it still has the following variance.
- Top (left, center, or right)
- Bottom (left, center, or right)
#### Flow field
We generate a flow field based on the input hash. This affects the pattern.
#### Pattern
There are the following patterns we can draw.
- Circle
- Waves
