Made A Cover Sheet For My Stockbook

Thought I would share what I made today in Illustrator.

Love it. Very good job.

Thank you! I had fun making it and appreciate the kind words

Good job.
A suggestion to try...if you make the background a bit opaque, your title will 'pop' a bit more. With the background this vivid, the text tends to get lost. You can do this by starting with a black background. Add the postal history as a new layer on top of this and set its opacity to about 66%. Then add your text as a third layer on top of it all.

This would give you an image that looks something like this


If you want a lighter background, start with a white or grey layer. Then when you make the postal history layer opaque, it will still fade it but to the lighter side. Your text will still 'pop'.

Using this layered technique also gives the graphic a bit more depth.

Great suggestion, Don! I like that. I considered doing a version with a grayscale background and I think I might try it

How could I save this in the site? I have tried to find that and cannot.

If you mean how to save the image, I highlight the image of "US STAMPS" then right click the image and save as a jpeg file to my download file. Then I can open the image on my desk top. I hope this helps.
You can also save this thread to your book marks on this site by clicking on the yellow star at the top of the first message on this thread.

To Vinman;
Perfect and I thank you.

Louise44, I'll email it to you so it's better quality :) I can also take off or change the years

Very good job!
I would like to suggest... why not do it in page size? Letter or A4...
