The reviews of the author played an important role to get the desired results.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/82/82620/attachment_82620501 "The contest holder wanted a serious book containing the image provided by him. The backdrop should be clear so I just added some texture to it. The image was treated to blow up it size and give it the blueish tone to fit the rest of the book. Blue is a meaningful color in Jewish religion so I went for that option.")

I took out some elements of the art to make room for the text, cut the background and replicated it to cover the whole book surface (back, front and spine). The pic shown is not showing the final choice, We still worked to get the cover done. The client was very happy indeed!")
