How to Design a Book Cover: Copying a Best-Seller in Inkscape

I show, step by step from nothing to complete product, how to re-create all the functional and aesthetic aspects of the cover to Patrick Rothfuss's Name of the Wind - Using nothing but a free vector program (Inkscape) and stock photography. You will learn how to blend images together, manipulate colors, identify and use fonts, and how to use effects to make things stand out.
