    Hey PPl,

    Could you please review these ebook covers. There is subtle difference in added text. I want to know which one looks best with respect to design and added text, Ecover_blogging, web_copy, web_copy_1 or web_copy_2.

    I think the last one, Ecover_blogging, is the worst. Incidently that was the one i had made at very first.

    Should i be adding my site url elswhere??

    Thanks in advance. :)

    All of them are extremely hard to read...You need to make the background either simpler or a lot less opaque

    Well this is my very first work so i don't expect to make a very great design. However, what if i remove all the fancy graphics and use a opaque background with matching colours to the text and leave the design as it is. which font i should use.

    One thing i would like to tell here is that i am not a professional designer but i am doing this for my own work. So please give me some suggestions, if you have experience in this.

    The best ones I have seen always seem to have a white background and maybe one very clear picture (with the background completely cropped out)

    I don't think a full color background works well at all.

    Remember, your main aim is for the title to stand out and persuade people to buy it.

    thanks for suggestions. i think i was misguided by a similar cover i found while surfing. just now i have found another set of covers which proves yfs1's point.

    i will try some more. if it is done, well and good, else, i will have to dash it off to some professional designer. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

    btw how much will it cost if i get it done by a professional.

    Not much....There is a user "Corena" here that does lots of ebook covers. If you let her know one (or a few) you like she could design one for you.

    Ill let her know about this thread

    Try to take a look at mine;

    http://www.ferysabakstudio.com/graphicportfolio.htm

    It's not that great, but I hope it gives you the idea. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

    But if you want to use my service anyway, it's only $25 per cover, half of the price I usually charge for my customers.

    Sorry, I thought you were asking for someone.

    Take a look at alteregos link...Those are really good. Clear crisp and you can tell what its for within 1 second.

    I would say ask him any questions you might have

    I think i should be sorry. i did mention that i would "rush it up to someone"; but i did'nt actually mean that.

    Actually i won't make any money out of this yet i need it for business purpose and the urgency made me to scribble that perhaps.

    I am sorry that you apologised for nothing.
