Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

Those tricks escape me.
I think all PS brushes work in any Adobe ... even the Elements versions.

I think it looks fine...If anything, you might want to enlarge it a bit, because we did enlarge the marquee some. Maybe that's why it's bothering you. I do like that you had your own fonts available to insert "Cinema" and if anything, I might shrink that a bit and place it on top of the marquee, over the purple. I mean now that we have the top part nice and tidy, the "Cinema" text might look good back there. I mean, after all, we are trying to run a legitimate theater here!

Oh well you see it's a virtual theater so we're using virtual money! Paypal probably won't like us though!

Oh and can you make one of these for me with the blue black gradient background? And I'd shrink the "Cinema" text a little and center it a touch to the right. Man Am I a slave driver or what?

Throw a carpet at the bottom... a distorted square... and if you use the DVD logo thing.. be sure to include the TM as it is a trademarked logo. I didn't include it simple because... I'm lazy

And I think your cover looks great NOYB. The red really ties it all together. Well done

I've updated my working Photoshop file .. If it helps.
I think what Jan eventually needs is just the square background.

You still in Kansas ?? .. I need to come over for lessons.

You know it's quite possible, I may never get to sleep now! Seriously though, here's my final wish list for this, cause' I do have to pick a label and move on. First of all, help4me, thank you for joining in with us. That blue and gold thing you did of the marquee and doors was striking.

Ok Jay here's my order: I'm gonna stick with simple..that's what always works for me. Everything just like it is on top but I like the gray doors better and I'm just gonna stick with that original black to blue gradient background. No extra colors. Reason being is something one of my old graphics teachers used to say.."there's enough happening there already"
