rad; we had the text added during/after discussion on... the other book cover contest thread. in the old days (of artists doing oil paintings for covers, for example!) text was added after the art was photographed and whatnot. in the new days (from what i gather), if art is done on the computer, the text can be inserted at the time of creation. at any rate, it is traditional to leave space at the top of the composition for the title. personally, i'm rather glad i dont have to slap a big title on my picture. although it is true that i normally put the title in the 'mat' or somewhere on the edge of my images. in north america (or at least the us and canada), bookstores/publishers have a category called 'fantasy.' usually it's a sterotypical thing with mythical beasts (dragons, unicorns), mythical people (elves, fairies), and often mythical settings (narnia, xanth... or olde england). (no offense meant to any dragons, unicorns, elves, fairies, narnians, xanthians, or olde english folke by labelling them as 'mythical' above.) typically fantasy contains magic or other non-scientific/historic elements. the most typical fantasy is the medieval-style stuff. there's also historic fantasy (like king arthur stuff) and modern fantasy (usually involving wizards and elves running amok in typical urban locales), etc. of course, i'm not anton, so i cant speak for him or his contest. but that's the impression i got.
