Hello Guys, Can I design a cover page for a book with adobe photoshop? OR should i design with adobe illustrator? please help me guys. Thanks,
You cannot design anything in adobe photoshop. Adobe photoshop is image editing application only. Go for illustrator or something else.
As far I know, it is only for images editing or modification. No idea what you saying. You can make templates/designs but you cannot create logo or images.
Of course you can. Just don't forget to set the resolution to 300dpi and use CMYK colors (for printing purposes).
you can use the photoshop on designing cover page specially if you have already a script for making e-book template/cover
thank you guys for your replies. Please correct me if i am wrong, "I can design any cover page on photoshop with resolution of 300dpi" right? But friends, if i want to design LOGOS in photoshop then what should i do? because as i know now mostly peoples making logos with illustrator. And i dont know about Illustrator. I am good at photoshop. please help me.
Illustrator is a better tool for doing logos, but you could use Photoshop. It would be like using a rock to pound nails -- it does the job, but why not use a hammer?
@Keith Nimble: Actually i am very much aware about photoshop. but i dont know much about illustrator. and i will have to learn illustrator. this is why i want to design logos with photoshop and continue my freelance logo designing job.
If you want to work in Photoshop, then work in Photoshop. What are you most comfortable using? You can use PS, Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc...it all comes down to preference. I work almost exclusively in PS for designing - it's the industry standard along with Illustrator. If you'll be primarily designing logos then Illustrator will offer you more options from the vector design aspect. If you have to learn both PS & AI you'll find you can create vectors and import them into PS quite easily...best to learn them both if you have the time.
Photoshop is a Image editor, but it's your choice to make your Cover page from Photoshop, Illustrator, Picasa, PhotoFunia..etc We are using in place of Cover page -> Family Photo & Friend Circle Photo -> Imagination Art -> Lovable or Remember-able pic -> Graphics -> Abstract art
Definitely do what you're comfortable doing. Glad to hear you're open to learning Illustrator - many people wouldn't be open-minded like that.
You can use photoshop to create anything. plain and simple just choose the correct document type and size.
Photoshop is ok to use for that function but it would be better if you use illustrator as it is specifically created for creating as Photoshop is for editing. If you are more familiar with Photoshop, go right ahead as it is more than capable to create a cover design.
Technically you can use Photoshop and Illustrator to do that but It would be easier to use Adobe InDesign. InDesign is a program for making magazines or books.
