class, you can completely design the cover with all its components: front, back, spine and flaps.
An example:
\documentclass[marklength=0mm,
bleedwidth=0mm,
spinewidth=20mm]{bookcover}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
\setbookcover{bgcolor}{whole}{%
color=gray!80!brown!30,
}
%back cover
\setbookcover{fgfirst}{back}{%
\vfill
\hfill
\resizebox{100mm}{!}{%
\rotatebox{-90}{\textsf{\textbf{\color{white}{\parbox{10cm}{\raggedright STOP SAYING\\ I WILL\\ START DOING}}}}}}
%\vfill
}
%front cover
\setbookcover{fgfirst}{front}{%
%\vfill
\resizebox{100mm}{!}{%
\rotatebox{-90}{\textsf{\textbf{\color{white}{\parbox{10cm}{\raggedright STOP SAYING\\ I WILL\\ START DOING}}}}}}
%\vfill
}
%spine
\setbookcover{fgfirst}{spine}{
\vfill
\centering
\resizebox{10mm}{!}{
\rotatebox[origin=c]{-90}{\textsf{\textbf{\color{white}Stop saying I will start doing}}}}
\vfill}
\makebookcover
\end{document}
Something like this?
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[showframe, b5paper]{geometry}%
\usepackage{classico}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage[table, x11names]{xcolor}
\usepackage{pagecolor}
\begin{document}
\newgeometry{margin = 0pt, noheadfoot}
\begin{titlepage}
\pagestyle{empty}\newpagecolor{Khaki4}
\rotatebox[origin=lt]{-90}{
\adjustbox{width=\paperheight}{\sffamily\Huge\bfseries\color{LightGoldenrod1}%
\begin{tabular}{l}%
STOP SAYING \\[-0.7ex]
I WILL \\[-0.7ex]
START DOING\\[-0.5ex]\end{tabular}}}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

) from here on CTAN. Just unzip the file at the root of your texmf-local
directory. As I'm on MiKTeX, I'm n)ot sure whether you have to write something in a local updmap.cfg
and run updmap -sys
on MacTeX to update the type1 fonts database, but someone here will tell you for sure.

. For the width of theminipage
, you can either find it by trial and error, or you use\newlength
and\settowidth
. If you get stuck with a concrete problem or you have questions regarding how to get rid of the borders, how to change background and foreground colour, etc come back to TeX.SX.
