Self-Publishing? Create your own professional looking book covers; ready to upload to major retailers and distributors.
What you'll learn
Find inspiration for your book covers as well as free, cheap or premium images without infringing upon someone else's copyright
Understand the technical terms used in image design such as image size, file size, aspect ratios and color modes as well as what file type to use when uploading to your chosen platforms.
Know the current specifications for print book, eBook and catalogue covers on major platforms like Amazon and Smashwords.
Design an eBook catalogue cover in Canva using either a template or your own specifications and images
Work out the specifications for a paperback book cover or generate one in Createspace, and then design your cover in Canva with a little image manipulating in Gimp.
Set up and design book covers in Gimp using layer masks and blend modes to create interesting effects.
Convert your catalogue cover images and paperback book cover images to a suitable size to embed within your ebooks.
Requirements
You need to sign up for free accounts at both Canva and Gimp and be willing to believe that you are perfectly capable of creating a great cover.
Description
Thanks to huge advances in computer technology making your own book covers is not nearly as hard as it used to be. You can use drag and drop image building apps online. My favorite of these is Canva.
For those few things that you cannot do inside Canva, there is also no need to invest in expensive image manipulation software because you can do them in Gimp for free.
