Ok, here's what you do, Jacob:

First you give her :finger: ,
then you'll most likely get :blah2: and :cussing:

But, as you know, after :cussing: you often get some :hump: and :smileysex5: you'll be :beer: and most important ready for some photoshopping!



Well :finger: you Magnus! I did what you said, but didn't get any of the goodies you were telling me! All I got was :cussing: I'll never take advise from you again! :beatup:

Small update. Still a lot to do, but here's my 1st attempt at the back. At the beggining i imagined a different back layout, with some old book pages like the she's holding but i can't do that, don't have skills for that. So this a new approach. Now i just need to imagine where to put the features and rest of the gang.

Crap?

And here's a preview of the text size. It's not small JR! :D

Ark could you make a rough mock up of what you previously envisioned? Maybe The Hires community can help you get close to your vision?

Think I need to see more. I like the image you've chosen for the back :)

Ok, here's my front:

I'mn in the proces of finding some better suited Egyptian hieroglyphs, or I may grunge them up a little. Color not final.

The lower picture is too yellow. Will fix that :)

Looks good JR, really like that idea.
The TT loses a little impact, though. Maybe move Adele up slightly (the Luc Besson text will still be visible over her hat), and fade the bottom out a little so the TT stands out more?

Ah! Finally! I was looking for that bottom image but couldn't find a textless one, planned to do the same for my front. I do agree with jw, but this is a good start! :)

Btw, any chance you can send me that light beam brush? Could use it on my cover!

It's not a brush. It's a stock image of bright light beams, set to 'screen' blend mode in order to hide the black background.

Try a simple google image search. :)
