13 Tip On Creating An Effective Ecover

The way your ecover design looks is very important if you want to make visitors to the website want to click on the product. The problem with digital products is that well they are digital. They are do not exist physically. They do not possess any physical structure. For this reason it is essential to make it look attractive and as realistic as possible.

The way the ecover is designed alone will be enough to shape the prospects minds into thinking that the content is just as professionally done as the cover. If the cover had ragged covers and the text cannot be read then obviously the content cannot be any better. Well at least that is the message the cover carries.

If you are in the business of selling digital products then ecovers should be one of your first considerations.

Here are some tips on how to make an ecover appealing and attractive.

1. Make the ecover stand sideways so as to create the illusion of three dimensional image. The ebook is an online product that cannot be held between our hands. Therefore the more we make the cover look like a real book cover the better. A physical book is three dimensional and you want your prospects to feel the same way about your ebook as they would a physical book.
2. Imagine a light source and make shadows keeping in mind the light source. If you make shadows in the same direction as the light source it will not be realistic so make shadows in the opposite direction. You can position a real book with a light source and see how the shades would be like and try to create the same.
3. If you are planning on making reflection do not make it a complete reflection; just make a hint of it.
4. Make the cover design to reflect on the content. For example if your content is 10 pages make the cover a thin book or a ring binder. If you make a big fat cover it does not go well for the credibility of the author.
5. Do not overcrowd the cover with many colors and images. What need to stand out is the title and subtitles. The colors and images are there to attract the attention not to distract.
6. Use text fonts that are readable. Do not use flowery fonts that are difficult to read.
7. Start drawing the image with a large canvas with about 200 resolution. This will make the final image better quality. Then after finalizing the image reduce the resolution.
8. Save the image in three sizes: large medium and small.
9. Save in use JPeG images for photographs and GIF images for flat color pictures.
10. When place the images on web page do not resize them as this will distort the image and destroy the quality. Resize then with your graphics program and them place them in the web pages.
11. When you use the width and height attributes to resize your images you slow down the time it takes the browser to render the page. So make sure that you want the same size as how you it to be displayed.
12. Limit the amount of text to what’s important. The less text you use the larger and more readable your text will be.
13. Last but not least save the image in the graphics editor extension so that you can make adjustment later.

Hope these tips will help you in creating attractive covers.
