eCover
Generator
Armand
Morin, creator of eCover
Generator, released a major update that
will quite simply blow your socks away. While I
have great respect for the many ebook cover
artists I have hired in the past, the new eCover
Generator does things that are
unbelievable.
Using
Microsoft DirectX technology, you can now create
spiral bound reports, thin books, thick books
and boxes and even CD covers -- all with just a
few mouse clicks. You don't need an artist any
more. With eCover
Generator, you become the artist in mere
seconds.
Pick a sample cover from the VAST library of
professionally designed templates, add your text, choose your format, add a
shadow and you are done. This product will save you time and money --
guaranteed.
How important are covers for electronic
products? As an ebook publisher (EbookoMatic),
I realize the importance of having a good ebook cover design. People do
judge a book or ebook by its cover. Walk into any book store to see if what
I say is true. Look at your own browsing habits. Doesn't a cover that
intrigues you or appears pleasing to your eye make you want to pick it up to
learn more? A quality ebook cover design makes your ebook tangible.
For the past two years, I have been using the
services of some very talented artists. Most designers claim a good
ebook cover design can increase sales over 300%. I don't know if that's
true, but I can certainly believe they do increase your sales. If an ebook
looks like a real book, it is taken more seriously, and the purchaser is far
more likely to buy it.
But what if you have some graphic skill to
design a cover, but lack the tools and know-how to give it that same 3D
realistic look? Now there is a tool that enables even the most graphically
challenged to create 3D realistic ebook covers or software boxes with just a
few clicks. It really is that simple.
eCover
Generator enables anyone to create a great cover in under a minute.
Sounds impossible? It's not and a picture is worth a thousand words. You
simply select the ebook design you want from the library of professionally
designed graphic templates. Then using a simple text editor, you place the
text where you want it -- changing color, fonts, sizes and clarity at will.
You can add text to the spine of the book cover or box, too.
You can even add a shadow to the
graphic to make it literally pop off the page. The program handles the
perspective all by itself, so if you can click on a button and type the
title of your ebook and your name, then you can create a sweet cover
instantly. Here are some examples of ebook covers I created within minutes
of using the tool (reduced in size using Jasc Paintshop Pro):
In some of these instances, I
had already been given a flat cover and all I did was add the spine and
shadow. In other cases, I used the templates supplied with the program, and
in other instances, I simply imported artwork from Hemera
Photo Objects, added the text and I was done. Here are a few
software boxes I created:
This tool is indispensable for
both ebook authors and software developers or anyone who is selling an
intangible product or service on the Net. eCover
Generator may not increase your sales 300%, but it sure will make
you look like a million dollars, and on the Net -- appearance is everything!
