Thanks JR, but unlike many of the great designers here, cover-making wasn't my first experience with Photoshop. :D :D :D

It's all the more amazing that some folks have learned everything they know by solely making covers as a hobby! :thumb:

First covers...

My first covers were all done with Illustrator (only thing I knew it at the time) and were my Academy set. This was my first actual cover done with Illustrator:



And my first Photoshop cover (third overall):

Looking at your first covers, I feel even more ashamed of mine. Made it back somewhere around... 2003-2005 (?), up until that point I had only been making desktop wallpapers. Used PaintShop Pro, and I thought I was the s**t. :lolboard:

Oh well, here goes nothing...
