Part of my problem is trying to accomodate the publisher's previous cover designs to fit my needs. The red Rite Publishing Presents I think is unneccesary, but exists on all current publications of the publisher. I will see if I can remove that. In many ways the design is cluttered having to accomodate so many logo requirements, etc.

The Pathfinder logo at bottom left is necessary to show compatibility with the game it was designed for, and the Rite Publishing logo on the bottom right is for the co-publisher. I will see about making those smaller. Also will see about matching the width of the various titles to match the width of the inset. I want to look professional here, while accomodating what must be accomodated.

I'm not aware of a black bar under the Rite Publishing presents - perhaps some artifact... let me update and repost.

Thanks for the comments
