I want to self-publish a book called "Tweets on Entropy" - but I need a cover. Do you have suggestions for a good cover? Some rules:

1) It can't be a joke There are lots of jokes about entropy but I don't want them on the cover of my book. I want the cover to be artistic, inspiring, maybe even secretly teach some deep fact about entropy... yeah, I'm like that.

2) It can't have equations in it. I like equations, but my book is full of equations already.

3) It can't be a picture of Shannon, Boltzmann or Gibbs. I admire these guys immensely, but I don't want the cover of my book to be a picture of someone.

Here is a cover I made in less than 10 minutes. There could be something better.

It may help if you know what topics my book actually covers. Check out part 2 for that!
