No matter what you do with the text it has to be clearly defined. Remember the primary reason for your art is to sell the PRODUCT, be it a book DVD, video game, etc. It's good to add a 1/4 " on all sides for trim. Careful about your text location, keep it 1/2" to 3/4" from the edges. Back Book covers need about 2 1/2" up from the lower edges to allow for logo and bar code. These specs are general, printers may require different specs. A question, if the bouy is important enough to be a special color, and in the center of your composition, why aren't the eyes looking at it?
