    Hey everyone

    I'd like some honest feedback on what you think of my ecover designs. PS: One of them is a simple mock book cover for WarriorForum

    ye.zero,

    You did a very good job! Straight to the point. Good work!
    Did you used any book-template image?
    If "yes", could you let me know which one and where from?

    hey zolink, thanks for the feedback.

    I designed them from scratch, so they weren't templates.

    Cheers mate

    very nice, on the first one it might be better if the top half was pixelated, and the bottom half smooth and nice. Just an idea!

    Seems like you might be able to do something better then the @ symbol too.

    1. The @ was asked for by the client
    2. I don't use scripts, I prefer every client of mine to have a unique cover - different from general ones seen everywhere.

    Well, if you guys need anything done, give us a shout ;)

    Cheers

    Great job on them, I think the reflection on the second one slightly distracts from the book though

    I like both of them however, it will be nicer if you remove that ring thing on the corner of cover 2 ;)

    Those are by far the slickest I've EVER seen. Do you do freelancing for this type of stuff?

    There are software tools to create those.
    You only have to design the front cover, back cover (if needed) and side and the program will create the 3d look for you ;)
    Very simple stuff!

    Its quite easy really. All you have to do is to print out the design, wrap it around a real book and take a photo.

    Manipulate this photo in photoshop to make it LESS real and voila! :cool:

    Aha, yes sharing is caring. But then, if everyone knew how to make them, I'd be out of business. eh? eh?

    Yes I do. But you probably won't find me me on Scriptlance or Freelancer etc. geez, I mean, talk about high expectations on extremely low budgets..


    Anyhow, I was asked today by someone to create a software box as means of a demo, so here is the 'mock' design for something that doesn't really exist :)
