 * 1st Cover Paragraph Here **


 * The cover I made is for a detective story. You can already figure that out because I gave the Gus a little magnifying glass and a hat. Most detectives in books and movies have a hat and carry around a magnifying glass. I used contrast to tell you how small he is compared to his surroundings because the table is much bigger than Gus. I used alignment to help position everything. The setting is very mysterious because there is a shadow-like effect. I also changed the text. I put a teaser on the cover to give a dramatic effect. I don't think I used any repetition for my cover. The colors I used are dark and mysterious to show that it is a detective movie. **
