hello,

i don't have the original art files for a cover. I just have the .pdf the agency sent.  i need to make a new cover in the same style and i don't know how to make the new image look like previous ones.

these are the covers from past jobs:

and this is the new image they want me to use:

how can i make the new image look in the same style as previous? i like working with mart objects and layers so everything is super editable so an approach that help me keep things super editable for changes from the client is best.

thanks

jonathan

    Correct answer davescm

    is it because you are working of the screenshot of the photo an i have CMYK purchased image. would my color adjustment not be different?


    Ah - I hadn't realised your were working in CMYK - I should have looked closer

    Turn the curve the other way :

    Hi Jonathan

    Something like this:

    Bottom layer a gradient fill

    Next the body masked (select subject in Select and Mask worked for this) - changed to luminosity blending mode and a curve added to brighten it. Also a white stroke added in layer effects.

    Next the same again but the layer moved

    At the top one of your original images with a vector mask added

    Hopefully that gets you started

    I would lay down a gradient above your illustration, draw your shapes with the rounded rectangle tool and mask on the gradient to reveal the illustration below. Let me know if I need to go more in depth. Will happily write a tutorial up.

      That's what I would do.  I actually just did that for a design project not too long ago
