Cover me: a western rom-com exercise

Oh, look! My favorite imaginary author is back and demanding a cover for her latest venture.

This was a two-hour, design-along tutorial to create a western-themed rom-com. Could I improve it? Absolutely! Am I going to? No. (Sorry, Callie.) The idea behind these practice runs is to do the thing, make a cover, and experiment.

Also, I have no idea what a Cowboy Chaos novel is or whether there’s such a place as Chaos, Nevada. (But I kind of hope there is.)

However, I do like the title font (Canela). I was supposed to add a cowboy hat as well (just in case you couldn’t tell it was a western-themed book), but I thought it was a little heavy-handed.

Callie is far more prolific than I am, but I feel she’s a little scattered and that a dozen genres is far too many for one author. But she never listens to me.
