Help me decide what should go on the cover of my chapbook!

One of my extended creative nonfiction essays is being published in a cheap, small scale production on my college campus. The design editor is working on the layout and design and asking me questions about cover art, font, etc, and I have no idea what to tell him.

My essay is about Shakespeare, so I'd think an old-style font would work. However, I have no idea what I want on the cover, because all the "official" portraits of Shakespeare are pretty wonky. I thought about a quill, but that's kind of generic.

So all you visual artists/design folks out there, help a girl out! Please. ^___^
