Thank you to everyone who responded. We had a ton of great suggestions. I
also made a template in word. To download, visit
http://lswhs.leesummit.k12.mo.us/lmclsw/projects.htm and right click on
the book cover template link. The hits are below. Thanks again!
www.glogster is a cool way to generate posters. they maybe able to turn
those into book covers.
Glogster.com My students loved it.
Scope Notes has a fun way to create your own YA novel cover:

it's not a book cover generator....but I think Publisher would work
well....
An online generator, if there is such a thing, would require about zero
effort and creativity from his students.
What is the point of that?
Tell him to assign an old-hat project where the kids use magic markers or
whatever to create the cover, which could then be scanned into whatever
program he wants his kids to use.
Are they writing reviews of these books that he wants to post to the
school website?
I guess if he insists on using a computer program for coloring, he could
have them outline a picture for the cover, scan it, open it in paint or
some other similar program, and color in the sketch from the scanning.
The best source that I've used is www.bighugelabs.com. you can sign an
entire class up and get passwords without having email. On the web tool
you can do a huge variety of things, but I think the two best are the
trading cards or the magazine covers which would work for the book covers.
You can save the work, but can print it.
I am not sure without looking but you might see what Thinkfinity has.
Try The Book Cover Creator

This is the only one I had already marked.

It seems that you could use glosterledu for this purpose.
Springbranch ISD (Houston, TX) has this page created.

The projects are fairly easy to create.
