I used Pixlr because I commonly use programs such as Photoshop or Paintool Sai, and Pixlr is the only in-browser photo editor that I could find. I used the contrast of the back shadows behind the letters and the darkness of the horse and the shading/lighting of the horse. I aligned the lightning on the left third, horse middle of the middle and end thirds, and the text in the mid-section of the last third. I had the text then affected in a way that the font seemed closer than the horse, but not by much. I didn't use repetition in my cover,mainly because I did not have enough room for such, and I didn't want to overuse somethings. I drew the horse, I then darkened it, added some darkening effects integrated in the program and moved on. The way I designed it was so it added some hints to an epic/ exciting story with the lightening of the lightning, even though the title has subtext reading " A story of finding my owner", it hints at a horse/animal narrating the story. The foreground, including the horse, adds a setting along with slight back story / possible assumptions to the story. Text, background color and pose of the horse, adds a bit of 'epicness' to this cover.
