When trying to figure out how to make ebook cover designs we need first to decide on what type of finished product we're looking for. Do we want a hardback, paperback, notebook, spiral notebook etc? The possibilities abound. And if we are selling software we may need software boxes, CDs or the like. The key is to have a clear picture in your mind of the finished product you want to create. Before you start you'll need to do your research and find examples of ebook covers you like. What this does is really help you visualize the end product.

The next step in figuring out how to make an ebook cover is choosing the graphics; pictures and text you want on the ebook cover. This is perhaps the most important step. Stop and focus on this for just a minute. What do you gravitate to when you are browsing for magazines or books in a bookstore? You go straight for the book or magazine that catches your eye; the one with the most attractive cover. It is just human nature. Publishing houses and magazines know this and have spent millions of dollars researching this fact. The more attractive the cover the better chance they have of selling their magazine or book. The more products they sell the more money they make and the more they can charge for advertising in those magazines. It's all about the bottom line, making money!


So what does that mean to you? Don't reinvent the wheel! If these guys are making huge money with their designs and layouts then why not just copy them. They've already done all of the research and all of the hard work for you. This is how to make ebook cover design very, very simple. Find a layout that attracts you to a product. Whatever your product is ebook, software, book, or magazine is irrelevant. Choose a design that would make you seriously think about buying that product. What specifically appeals to you? Is it the color, the graphics, the layout that catches your eye? Why are you so drawn to this particular cover over all of the others? Break it down. Which part or parts of the cover catch your eye first? What part do you keep looking at over and over again? Your goal is to recreate that feeling in others using your ebook cover. All you have to do is replace those items that you are drawn to with your items (text, graphics, etc.)
