Review typography at thumbnail size
View the cover at a small storefront thumbnail and at its intended print size. The title should remain easy to identify, while the author name and subtitle need enough contrast and breathing room for their intended hierarchy. If details vanish at small sizes, simplify or enlarge them instead of assuming a sharper export will solve the problem. Compare a few sizes on different screens and review a physical proof when available.
