This is my first attempt to create a cover with the photo “At Water’s Edge” by Michael Wheatley. This photo really grabbed me as the reflections in the water look like an abstract painting. I love the colour pallet and will be working to create a design that will show the beauty of the natural landscape.
Tech Notes:
This cover was created using The Gimp and Scribus open source tools on the Ubuntu platform. These programs are quite different from the usual Photoshop + InDesign that I am used to, but I am working hard to get the same level of functionality.
