    I hope I put this in the right thread! It's for fan-fiction writers, but it could also sort of apply to "fan art," I suppose.

    I thought it could be cool if the fan-fiction community branded their original Star Wars stories as "Myths," similar in respects to the "Legends" branding. And I figured I'd design it as best I could and share it with the community! This is a Photoshop file, so you need a version of Photoshop to view/edit it. The purpose of the file is to allow the community the choice to give their stories official-looking "novel" covers (with original artwork if you wish). I don't know about the legality of self-publishing fan-fic in the Star Wars universe for purely personal usage (something to show your friends or keep on a shelf, whatever), but it's also formatted to the correct dimensions of a U.S. mass-market paperback novel, so that's a possibility, as well (Lulu).

    I like to put my fan-fics into PDF format, sized and laid out like a paperback novel. So, this is definitely aimed at more professional/experienced/talented writers, as oppose to those who just do it as a hobby, for fun. :)

    So, here's what it looks like:

    Let me know what you think - if you think it's a good idea, if you plan to use it, etc.

    In order to properly edit the wording in the file, you will need to have a valid copy of the appropriate font on your PC. The font used for "Name of Work," and "Author's Name" are "Serif Gothic LT Light Bold" (the thinner wording) & "Serif Gothic LT Black Regular" (the thicker wording), respectively. But, if you don't have them, you can always use a different font—make the design your own. Or do that anyways. Up to you. Enjoy!

    Here's an example of what you can do with it:
