Pretend

Welcome to day six of Thingadailies!

Today I continue to pretend that I know what I'm doing with book cover design. But first!

Gnocchi

I'm in my office and I hadn't taken any other pictures today, so Gnocchi gets to be my foster cat of the day. She was stretching when I caught this photo and I wish I'd managed to get her tail in the frame. Oh well. She's a great cat.

Back to the Thing

I learned how to curve text in Affinity, so that's what I did with the first part of the title. Then I decided it needed an extra pop of color, so I added the frame under the series name. Again, I'm trying to make a template of sorts so the books all look like they belong together, and I think that will help.

I need to check the centering — I find that it's harder to center things correctly in Affinity than it was in InDesign, but I'll add some guides and fix it.

And now it's time to do a bunch of medical stuff for Lulu, so I'll leave this here. My plan is to create a couple more in the series before I finalize any of them so I can figure out what works and what doesn't.
