The woman was photo manipulated to resemble the characteristics of the heroine and the duel scene at the back cover was created out of different stock elements. I also added some aging effects to the title font to make it look more appropriate for this genre and give a more unique feel to the overall layout.")

That's why i decided to use as my main design element a Rorschach inkblot. The inkblot was painted from scratch in Photoshop. I think the shape, apart from the meaning of it, conveys a sense of mystery that suits the genre perfectly.")
