1st stage of the finished front cover

This is the background for the front cover with the Orginial Text used from the Draft. I didnt change the Text becuase I felt that it represented the genre of RnB well. I also kept the font becuase it is Bold and Stands out and So will stand out in a Market when it is sold with its competitors.

I made the background by Taking a peice of paper and crumbling it up. I then made that the base layer and then took the paint tool and airbrushed a cream body all over the page to make the page and off white colour. I wasnt happy at first with the colour, and wanted it to be slightly darker. So, to do this I changed the saturation level to make it darker. I also put a slight drop shadow around the title but kept the spread close. I did this by clicking on blending options and adding an 'outer glow', but changed the opacity to a lighter level and made the colour black.
