hi - I'm new to text. I want to make cover art for a website. Can anyone suggest simple ways to make this text look better & more professional in AP? Thanks!

If you have too, use simple fonts, fancy fonts generally look cheesy unless there is a specific reason for using it. With regard to text on the background, that can be distracting and also messy, honestly I'd steer clear of this idea.

What is the website about, Link?

Ok think I understand the Tone Poem reference now: https://hellomusictheory.com/learn/tone-poem/

Thanks for the suggestions. I write poetry & do audio recording. I create soundscapes for some of the poems so I borrowed from the symphonic term.

@Paresh  Here are some ideas for simple fonts.  I thought they had a bit more "heft," in case you do plan to use text on top of your image.  Although I definitely agree with @firstdefence that "less is more."

Thanks!!

Thanks Paresh

I got a bit carried away listening to Sibelius Symphonies

Nice, that gives me an idea. How do you get the letters to tilt like that?
