I decided to use a rich blue as the background color. I just really love this color blue and felt it had almost a deep spiritual presence which is what the meaning of the book is about. I then created a gradient glow in the center of the cover, then used twirl effect and liquify on the glow.I picked out this really nice font to coincide with the background, added texture overlay on it, drop shadow, and bevel. My first revision I was going to use a Celtic type of border then I forgot the story takes place in peru so I changed to a Peruvian style motif. I handcolored it in using paint bucket, tweaked the opacity, copied and stitched together
First design.
