Title: Help Me Out Again
Post by: MrLips on June 17, 2009, 08:16:25 AM

Look at this cover http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/MrLips.custom.win_kapc_edited-2.jpg. Now what can I do to make it better?
Also how do you guys print? it seems when I print things get kinda washed out looking. Im using this printer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828102357. What settings do you use to print?

only had a quick look as i'm at work - but that one looks much better.

I would suggest though that you dont resize the ratings logo's so small - they tend to be the same size on most retail covers, changing it's size/position tends to make it look a little out of place.

I didnt resize the logos that is a scan of the front of box. Should I make them bigger? What I always have trouble with is the spine Im just not sure how to do it right any suggestions.

the spine looks OK apart from a slight change in the black colour.  Are you now using photoshot?

Yes I am but its the elements version but it seems to do everything I need, I think. Yea the black color is diffrent I dont know if there is way to match the colors with a layer or not, I am still learning.
