Be careful with font choice... Even fonts are copyrighted and unless you have the rights to use it, you shouldn’t use it.

All in all they are just saying that you need 3 different professional for designing the book cover
Truth is there are people who can 1. click photo through mobile use photoshop to sharpen the image
2. Use adobe illustrator to design
3. Use widely available software to create a book cover
Above is for professional
If you talk to me i can do all this in online editing tools + power point itself
You dont need big budget to design a book cover
