    Hey all, i am an engineering student by profession & am serving DP as a graphics designer for a long time now.

    Although i have done each & everything that can be done namely Headers, Banners, Buttons, Logos, Banners, Avatars, Website designs & all but i never got any chance to do an ebook cover.

    recently i saw a thread by Mr ryan stating that he wants an ebook cover in 6 Hrs, he added to it as he said that BEGINNERS MAY PLZZ EXCUSE, THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN APPLY.

    I thought of making an ebook cover wthout even checking the thread again. When i was done with my design i opened his thread it said JOB HAS BEEN DONE SUCCESSFULLY. :p

    i just dropped a PM for Mr Ryan asking him a little feedback on my first design & guess what he liked it so much, he said i will use it :D


    Here is the design.....

    I like the overall feel, but you need to work on a couple things, the perspective of the camera being #1, it doesn't need to be so high and offset maybe just a little above and more to the left, the next thing is the aligning, work on the spine text and the "By Mark McLean" on the front. That's pretty much it besides rendering quality (aka file type and resolution) and other minor things, but I think it's pretty good for your first eBook Cover. Nice Job. :D

    I totally agree with Mario Browser. I don't like the perspective. For me, that's just it, not bad for you first Ebook cover!
