Custom Book Cover Design

My earlier post about Book Cover Design triggered immediate feedback. Of course the two samples were smashing and I understand authors who would like to see their work wrapped up in such prestigious way.

I also understand book cover designers to get some insight about how to custom design an eye-catching book cover.

As part of our daily routine, here is what I saw shortly after I had posted “Nostalgic Bookcovers” on Google:

Once again, Semiomantics Scripts and the Knowledge and Skill to manage and drive them properly to relevant positions and Google Top 10 rankings convince through proven facts, no hype.

Nostalgia Bookcovers

Nostalgic Bookcovers seem to be an ongoing hit with a number of different groups of people – and I do understand why! If well done, meaning with lots of attention to detail, they have something precious and ‘whole’ about them… and if the content of the book itself is well-written, then the combination of valuable content and an exquisite book cover is a unique gift idea everybody simply loves, young and old…  even men. Ohhh… which gives me another idea… later!

Loving beautiful books myself and having crafted and illustrated a number of them in the ‘real’ world, I thought I’d venture into this area and design some Nostalgia Bookcovers the digital way – here’s my first ever example of its kind.

Nostalgia Bookcovers

To start off my Nostalgia Bookcovers, I was inspired by a beautifully crafted bookcover by a “Guttenberg”-something project… somewhere on the Internet; I don’t find it anymore. It had an old, handmade illustration on it featuring a little girl – a real nostalgic retro look.

In my imagination I saw my own hand-made illustrations – many of which I kept to this day – featuring on the covers… and one day they will, however, it seems my new computer and sophisticated programs don’t want to communicate with my older scanner anymore – they simply don’t click anymore . So this has to wait.

Meanwhile, I work with Digital Photographs from my meanwhile famous “Secret Garden”.

Everything on this book cover and those that will follow in future posts is originally crafted; after all these years with a ‘mouse’ it was quite an experience to go back and draw by hand using my little Bamboo tablet from WACOM… as I am still in camping-mode after heavy downpours destroyed part of my studio.

Nostalgia Bookcovers at WP Best eShop

These and the following Nostalgia Bookcovers are available at WP Best eShop featuring Bianca Gubalke Products under the Category “Attractive Bookcovers”.

If this sparks an interest in you and you want something like this for yourself or to bind your stories or writings, don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your personal requirements and establish an acceptable price.

Watch out for the next Nostalgia Bookcovers . . .

Photoshop Ycademy

When 10 days ago we started the Photoshop Ycademy for YORGOO and Ycademy members, the program outline looked like a huge task. Today we see, how much can be accomplished within little time by ordinary people making extraordinary efforts. Tonight’s training will be a clean up session to finish up with some basics and the implementation of more action scripts, namely to accomplish more day to day tasks.

Book Covers, CDs, DVDs and more

Last night’s session was dedicated to product wrappers; it’s all about the look! Great stuff was created and I am looking forward to see some of it on Google Top 10 Images. While we have shared with participants some impressive actions, we are preparing two Photoshop Packs containing some interesting stuff I have on my computer and which I find useful for professional use of Photoshop. Here below a gallery of some sample images I did in just a few minutes; hope you enjoy! See you tonight at 7 pm London at Yorgotalk!

(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.

BOOK NOW!

Parenting today… and how to bring up children to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world – this is the topic of  “Brave Green Kids”, the first book written by Judy Sole and presented at yesterday’s Book Launch at the “Crowned Eagle” of Monkey Valley Resort. A golden sunset marked the event and the leader of the Green Party of South Africa asked for moments of silence to mentally embrace the world with one’s wish for peace and compassion while the sun dipped into the Atlantic Ocean and… disappeared.

Brave Green Kids Book Launch

While the “Brave Green Kids” Book Launch was directed at environmentally conscious people and especially parents… the only kid around was the young girl you see on my photo here.

She sat all by herself looking at the distant horizon, her gaze swimming above the adult buzz around her. The pure and yet knowing expression on her face that I have seen in so many children today, and her sweet smile when our eyes briefly met, seemed to represent each child today that’s facing an undefined future. And yet – besides this being the challenge of the young generation… couldn’t it just be the promise as well…? A future to which only the younger generations hold the key – and this with the help of the Universe?

Time to trust that any change can happen if we are ready to embrace it.

Website Development

The website development for Monkey Valley Resort is constantly advancing. I added a category “Photos” where we can add photos following specific events, where guests and visitors can see what’s up at Monkey Valley Resort; I invite you to go there and have a look at some photo impressions I took at the event yesterday. Unfortunately there was almost no light during the talk itself, so no ways to capture it with my digital camera.

I designed all photos to fit into a 800×600 px format, but have a little coding problem to solve – therefore the pictures are currently visible in a smaller size (6o%). Yet – here they are, straight after the event and inviting you to visit Monkey Valley Resort. By the way: kids are most welcome and you can watch over them while they have ample room to play, swim and run!

Visit Thorfynn’s Restaurant

Why not visit Thorfynn’s Restaurant for a delicious Sunday roast with Life music?

These are a few photos from Global Clothing’s autumn collection photoshoot, with fresh designs and a perceptive look on what is hot and what is not, keep a look out for the new collection hitting stores around london soon.
