I beg to differ, and again, for my final attempt at clarification on this point: I was talking about the illustration's appearance of nature... How the text conforms to the illustration is the differentiator between either going beyond or conforming. I was leaning towards conformity for a sense of blending. But am not against going beyond, to me it just doesn't look as clean.
Glad to hear other opinions as it helps to give some broader perspective.

Realism doesn't come into it. How often do you see text hanging in mid-air like that, let alone take the time to remark how light is hitting it?
I think the effect is fine.

Go to the Friends of Anne web site, and there you will see the cover art complete with Anne Droyd logo, story title and author name. Better still, go to...
I like it. It looks like a scene from a horror movie. Will must have had the cover artist get to work around halloween last year! It's got a nice spooky theme...
Looks good Will. the only thing I'd suggest is to tone down a little on the "Outter Glow" of the "Anne Droyd" text. Just a touch less opacity, as it looks a...
It looks amazing Will! I agree with James here in regard that outer glow round the title, but perhaps, copy in hand, the effect won't appear quite so vibrant....
... Grr! The fierce blue-tinged glow is deliberate. The title was supposed to make you think electrically-charged metal. :-) I think you're objecting becuase...
HA! I know what you are saying Darryl, but to me an "outer glow" should follow the same natural principles as a Drop Shadow. The robotic style on the font is...
Hi Darryl, No offence intended. Visuals are a touchy thing for many. I did consider that the effect was meant to represent metal, and am glad to have it...
Julie, I'm not hurt. I was more concerned that Will was going to simply ask me to remove the glow because two people didn't get where I was coming from. I kind...
Good point Darryl, and as this project doesn't directly affect me, I'm only offering my honest opinion. Just as you have kindly done for me in the past. Â ...
