Hi, I'm Bri, glad to have found a bit of spare time to join you.
I first took an interest in doing my own covers about 12 months ago when I got fed up with the poor quality ones I could find.
At the time I was only using sites such as cdcovers main page, not being one to chat a lot, and being 65 I was not brought up with all this internet thingy, and to be quite honest I was a little apprehensive about joining a forum. Finally I found the courage to join the forum at that site. There were people asking for covers that were not available so I had a go, designed one & posted it. Well it was well received so I carried on and tried to improve on everyone I did. Found that most people were using adobe so I gave it a shot - result - decided I was too old to try and learn all that lot, so I now use serif draw & photo.
