Making The Back Cover

My idea for the back cover changed a little after experimenting with a few differetn drawings of the Woman in the end I decided it was best to use an image in the style where she's walking away and place the street light behind her. I also added a distorded shadow on to the woman using a couple of different effects available to fit in with the background, as well as this I wanted here to be the main part of the back cover so turning her dress back added a lot of contrast to here and really made her stand out on the background. 

Fitting in the text was something I was not sure about but I tried to space it out so everything was readable and was not too close together so that it did not over power the back cover with text. I changed the fonts around making the quotes of the reviews really stand out from the hand written font of the blurb and the title font of the book quote.

Finally again the layout was worrying but I tried to space out the review quotes evently next to the woman so there was not to much empty space in one section or another. Also the street light slighty tails off the page as I wanted too keep the size the same as it fits next to the blurb which I really liked.
