Oh well. It was a lot of fun. I hope it meets expectations and if so I'm saving this as a Tarot template so I can just add cards in the slot where I put this Magician card.

EDIT: Added the image I used to the Art Post

I absolutely LOVE IT and really appreciate you going the extra mile here.

I do like playing in Photoshop and I wanted to try out a few new tricks. I've been using some high end photoshop tutorial videos as background noise in the evenings while I work on other stuff. I turn a photo of my son into Ice Man earlier in the week just for kicks and then I turned it into a Photoshop Action and now I just turn random images into Ice Men. Human Torch is next.

Looks great! Just be careful not to do that for the cards for any of the cards already in the background.
Do we need the DC logo? These aren't an original DC concept, they're just thematically tied to a DC character. The Hellfire spells and the Hypnotise/Mesmerise didn't get Marvel logos despite being designed with Hellstrom and Mordo in mind, respectively.

Also, I have to say, I liked the more in depth bio you had before better. I know I don't normally like wholesale text drops from outside, but this was a good and fitting one.

The Book was listed as DC so I went with that. Text size is actually larger without logo as I did non logo version first before realizing what the book was listed as.

Glad you like the layout LO.

Also not a problem in the background. I can change those cards as well when needed. So if I miss it in the future just remind me.

So since the opinions that I personally thought were important have chimed in now...YEA

I updated the Book as non-publisher. Sorry, I just didn't even realize that was an option for spells.

It was just bigger than I liked, and didn't really frame what Tarot is/does to the reader, which I think is important. I'd probably heavily edit it for content if I did use it, and at that point an original one seems better.
