Nostalgic Bookcovers on Google

While doing the Graphic Design for Books or Bookcovers is one thing, monitoring the high performance of our websites or blogs on search engines is another.

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!

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.
