    Hi there,

    Have an image that needs to be digitalised and made bigger it will be for a book known as "The Saboteur Within" by Matt Hudson.

    Basically can you digitalise the image and then design the cover.

    It needs the mirror made larger. It needs the text changed around the image to make huge improvements to the image itself and also he would like a sky background behind the image.

    Link to image

    It will need to be in a vector format.

    The winner will receive $50!

    Payment will be sent via Paypal

    Contest Deadline: 20th May 2011

    I am interested, but for $100. The image needs to be redrawn in illustrator and would take 5-6 hours

    Looks good is it vectored?

    Will be good to see it when you change the background and the fonts. Could you also change the colour of the angel and the devil to the standard colours i.e. Red for the devil etc etc.

    Yes, it's vector format.

    OK, I'll change the background, the fonts, and the colour of the angel and the devil. Thank you.

    Here I try to add sky background (a semi dark cloud), change the colour of the devil (into red) and the angel (into white). I change the font into gothic font style:

    [​IMG]

    I can't do much because I don't know what kind of book it is. I mean, when you mention "sky background" it could be a bright sky or a dark sky. Usually if I make a book cover, I should read the short story of the book and Honestly, if it for book cover I prefer do this with Photoshop for the illustration so the file will not in vector format but .psd format. But it's alright if you want this in vector format, I'll try my best :).

    Oops... sorry. I didn't read your last feedback about the change of the colour. I'll change again, and could you tell me more about the sky background and the font you are prefer with?

    The font also still requires work.

    Change it back to the font you used before. Make the font bigger.

    Make the text straight rather than curved.
    Make the mirror bigger too.

    In the title put smaller "The" and "Within" then make "Saboteur"

    For example: Link 1
