Cover Art Panel

[bessyboo]

Ohmergerd, you guys, I get to see all of your faces in A MATTER OF WEEKS!!! I'm so stoked :DDD

I'm going to be running a panel on podfic cover art, and before getting much further in my planning process, I wanted to open the floor to ask what YOU guys wanted to hear about in a cover art panel! Do you want to know how to achieve a certain specific look? How to find and choose fonts? Larger, conceptual stuff, like what makes a podfic cover work or not work? Please, tell me what you want to hear and talk about!!!

- Fonts, what they do and where to find them (how to edit them)
- The power of composition
- Basic colour theory (warm vs cold colours)
- how to mush 2 pictures together
- how to add a texture


:DDD

My only thoughts on this matter are "eurgh, how do cover art???" I'm one of those heathens who tends to just slap some text over a screenshot and call it a day. Would love some coverage of the very basic basics--what image editing programs are free and easy to use? Are there graphic design/image editing primers that you've found helpful? And, as you say, the larger conceptual stuff of what makes something work.
