Welcome to this course on Creating a Fantasy Book Cover. In this course you will learn some advanced photo-manipulation techniques to create a very creative fantasy book cover. We'll be combining several stock images into a crazy moss man living in the swampy outlands. Then we'll take a look at how we can prepare the artwork ready for print using Adobe InDesign.
