Need a clear break in the letters where the two covers meet -- as was done with the snowflake-thingy in the center (but with a recognition that the left-side-cover portion needs a shadow from the right-side-cover portion).

ya.. thank u now i did..

Excellent work... it was a difficult source to work with, but you've blended everything very well. The only thing i can pick out is the differing resolutions between some of the sources. Other than that it's an excellent image.

@ ponti55: sometimes it's hard to find the right source with the right resolution, it's like a hit and hope situation, thanks for your comment.

Good work on the book, setting has a nice mood.

Absolutely on topic, good work.

Cool top secret file

IMO, I'd like printing of the cover had more grungy, oldish like the cover itself. It's quite vivid...

have to agree, if you look at the texture of the book and the aged look and then look at the skull and hand.... the skull and hand look rather neat, new and very smooth... hope that makes sense I do like your idea though author so will hold my vote

I like the ants crawling at the top gl

Well done.

The cover is too garish, and the ribbon just stops abruptly. Try to make this more realistic, keeping in mind the cover could be more subtle. It also would have a light source, and hence a shadow. GL.

Thanks CMYK46 I hope this is what you ment. I did a little retouch far as the ribbon its just a marker and I didn't do anything with it. Its the same as original was same spot. I could have cut it out maybe?

Do you see how you made some parts a bit dark just on the edge of the binding of the book (to the left)? Trying doing that to the whole front of the book to give it an older look. Try giving it an overlay tone that makes it look older.

Thanks k5683 I did some changes to age it I think that was what CMYK46 was trying to tell me I added three colors to add some age to it does it look any better?

author... it's gud but cover is very bright.. and inner part is luk like old so give original book color to color than look like nice.. and your inner color(gray) that's need some grunge background than luk older book
i think you understand wat iam say

Ok Thanks all I have scrapped album and redid it I hope this looks better.I used original with adjustments.

ya.. it's seems gud but gray paper seems it creating paper so remove gray color and add old paper to your album

Ok Thanks here is change removing gray.
