Thanks everyone and thanks for the suggestion Fidi.
I gave the composition a few tweaks to try and improve the feel and think the finished product is an improvement.
However, it's become clear that composition is something I need get a better understanding of and so aim to learn more about it as I develop my next few covers.

Some nice updates, good changes.

I agree about the color of your synopsis, it's looking much better when it's not the same golden color.

And I personally think that woman in the top right corner of your front isn't working. She's really looking out of place there and your front looks out of balance with her. I don't know if she's an important character for the movie but if you might place here somewhere else.

Another option might be reducing all four characters on top to a similar size and place the four of them where the three heads are at the moment.

It looks ready to me :) Nice job!

Personally I think that is better as it reduces the amount of gold bunched together but it’s entirely up to you on what you think works best :)

To give you a rough idea sauron:

Looks good, maybe you could try the synopsis in the same grey as the character names on the front?

by zorbic » Wed Jan 13, 2021 8:44 pm

Thanks :)
Ended up merging two versions of the tagline to get the yellow highlights on the left and white highlights in the top left.
Other minor adjustments made but think it might be done.

Thought in English it is named Bevel/Emboss.
If my memory is right.

In french it is "Biseautage et Estampage". :p
