eBook cover Wed. TO DO

Still to do:
  1. make cover for HH blog that is 3D (link is how to make the spine)...how to make 3Dimensional
  2. Add an arrow to the header in WGS DONE!
  • The second way is less elegant but requires nothing more than the GIMP, a font that has arrows (I have one called Wingdings), and some work with the rotation tool. In many ways, that sentence really said it all, but let me elaborate. One of the fonts that your version of the GIMP probably has contains a font of little icons or dingbats. You may have to type out all of the letters on your keyboard to find out which ones they are, but in one of those fonts will be some arrows usually pointing in the cardinal directions. Make a text layer with just one letter from this font, say the up arrow. With the GIMP you can choose any color for your font, and you can scale it to be whatever size you like. If you need a longer tail, you may need to go in and use the selection tool to make a copy of the tail that is there and then repeatedly paste it on the end. This will convert that layer from a text layer to a graphics layer, but that's fine. You may also need to make the layer bigger to accommodate your longer tail. Once you do this, you just have to work with the rotation tool to get your arrow pointing in the right direction
