Book covers and Jewel Cases with Photoshop

Learn how to create Book covers and Jewel Cases with Photoshop at this week’s Ycademy Pro calls.

Additional optional Materials: $10, free for Ycademy Pros, get the coupon from Bianca.

Advanced pack: $30, discount $10 for Ycademy Pros.

(Information about the content of the packs at Monday’s YORGOO call.)

Professional Presentation of your e-products

The presentation is of the utmost importance when you sell a product. Creating clean wrappers and marketing materials is a must. Today’s screens render images with a high resolution. For this reason you won’t get away with images from second zone. The same applies to marketing materials.

Photoshop quality is a must.

At Ycademy we will this week dig into an important application of Photoshop: create Book covers and Jewel cases with Photoshop to present your digital products.

Please find here below two examples of the quality you will be able to produce after this weeks trainings. To keep white clean is the most difficult task; the samples below demonstrate quality, even if you look at them with the magnifier.

The Ycademy Trainings

Sure, we will show you step by step how to create a book cover right from scratch using your Photoshop skills. But there is no reason inventing the wheel; we will focus on learning how to use one of the most popular plugins to create efficiently professional looking wrappers. For this reason we have prepared two packs of commercial action scripts for Photoshop which you may grab for as long as available.

Check it out at the YORGOO Pro Shop.

Register a Domain Name on WP Best eShop

Register a Domain Name

Registering your Name and/or Business as a Domain Name is a simple ‘must’ when operating on the Internet. If YOU are not in control of your name, someone else will… and sooner or later you definitely lose out. Don’t risk this.

Best Domain Name Registration

We can offer the very best Domain Name registration as follows:

U$12.95 per domain name for one year

U$25.00 per domain name for two years.

Choosing the right Domain Name

Choosing the right domain name is all about YOU and YOUR BUSINESS; it’s the first and most important investment you should make on the Internet.

As you will see, you simply first register for FREE to get started.

After registration, you can buy any available domain name at U$12.95 for 1 year OR U$25,00 for 2 years.

Never lose a Domain Name

You will be reminded when renewals are due – and while you can cancel and transfer at liberty, you have peace of mind that you will never lose your domain name.

Believe me, I know what that means!

Register a Domain Name - Bianca Gubalke Support
