Book Cover Design Tutorialal

[BrunchOnYourLap]

kerning on the font was upsetting, but nice adjustment of image.

[EnforcedCrowd]

@BrunchOnYourLap i admit, the way i arranged the font was kind of boring and unoriginal

but photoshop is still a little new to me

i think i should make another version sometime

but actually put some more thought in to it

[chocojoe95]

[MysteryoftheGods]

Hey, Mate. Do you mind showing us how you did this in slow, step by step? I have never used Photoshop but you certainly make me want to make one for my next book! Thanks.

[EnforcedCrowd]

[prankpatrol89]

What program did you use to make this?

[EnforcedCrowd]

photoshop cs4 extende

[EnforcedCrowd]

meant to put a "d" at the end of that last word

[EnforcedCrowd]

if your talking about the video

i used camtasia studio, it captures your screen on your PC

[tabbrown0512]

Absolutely incredible! You're really good. I'm designing my first bookcover now, and plan to use this as a guide. The video was going pretty at warp speed, so I'll watch it a few times to get the finer points. But amazing work. Thanks for posting.

[EnforcedCrowd]

thank you very much

and sorry about how fast it went, i hope the annotations helped a little bit.

and if you post it anywhere, give me a link

[marmorenogonzalez]

it is really good, thanks! but i will suggest you to edit the video better than speed it up. It will be helpful if you change your mouse icon. I kept loosing it all the time.

in general very helpful, Thanks!

[EnforcedCrowd]

@marmorenogonzalez

yeah, sorry

i made this a while back and i didn't actually think about that

i do hope the annotations were helpful though

[sgste]

That is so... AMAZING!!!

Where do you get an idea on what the cover should show?

I want to design a cover for a book I've written, but I don't know what to do for the cover!

Again... that was incredible! :)

[EnforcedCrowd]

thank you very much

the sunset picture was my own original

and i wanted the book cover to show that the main character had an immense amount of power

i have not really wrote a true book yet

more of short story which is up on Deviant Art

it's not that great but it is a beginning for me

what did you have in mind

i might be able to help, although i am not the greatest with photoshop, this was pretty simple, as you can tell

i have another version as well on my DA account in my gallery

[sgste]

I could either post a video response of my idea, or I could send it to you via some kind of contact info?

Thanks for showing interest, :D

[EnforcedCrowd]

your welcome

do a video response

and if you have a Deviant Art account

send me a link in a personal message

[XlemonxaidsX]

That looks REALLY good as the cover!

: )

[EnforcedCrowd]

thank you
