Hi everyone! I am working on a book cover at the moment for my WIP because I would like to begin promoting it. I have that same old dream cover in mind but I am not sure it can happen. So here's my problem. The image below (I know it is not the right size) is the type of book cover I would like, except instead of the "Do Not Cross" I would like to add my book title and instead of the "Crime Scene D..." I would like to add my name.
I am not very technologically savvy but I doubt that this is possible to do from this image. If I'm wrong, please correct me and tell me how.
So I was thinking that I'd have to find a similar background first, then add the police lines after because the police lines in the image above appear to be fake and added after the fact. After some searching, I found the original image.
Now, I need to add the police lines with my book title and name. But I am not sure how to do this. For a blank police line, I could only find a straight yellow line and when I added text it didn't look as believable as the lines in the first image. In other words, it looked terrible. So you see the problem and what I want to do: is there a solution? Does anybody know how to make this happen? I am not sure it is possible - probably just another dream cover that won't happen - but I really don't know. Please speak up if you have any ideas. Thanks!
