bodobe Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 A new book cover design for the crime series from Cologne. As always, made with Affinity Photo. My favorite app when it comes to professional graphic design.https://www.bodobe.de/todesmission-buchcovergestaltung/ StuartRc, IndieAuthor, lepr and 2 others 5 Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyg9 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Love it. From a design perspective, it has all the elements to make me stop and pick it up, if only to look at the cover. Doesn't need to be at eye level either as I'd see it if it were displayed on the bottom shelf. EVEN if the binding was the only part showing.

Gerald Berlin Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Bodobe, how did you calculate the spine width and how did you place the spine correctly? I am trying to make the overall cover for my books myself, but I can't make the dimensions that the printer gives me. Example attached. https://www.dropbox.com/s/a0dkq0mbsamlu45/Adrian_Gemeinsam%20des%20Leben%20gestalten_Buchdecke.png?dl=0 Greeting from Berlin Gerald Mackenthun Bodobe, wie haben Sie die Buchrückenbreite berechnet und wie haben Sie den Buchrücken korrekt platziert? Ich versuche, die Gesamtcover (Buchdecke) für meine Bücher selbst herzustellen, aber die Abmessungen, die die Druckerei vorgibt, kann ich nicht umsetzen. Beispiel anbei. https://www.dropbox.com/s/a0dkq0mbsamlu45/Adrian_Gemeinsam%20des%20Leben%20gestalten_Buchdecke.png?dl=0 Gruß aus Berlin Gerald Mackenthun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oder mit einer Ausschießsoftware wie Preps. Either the hard way, page count times weight with a thought to the cover.. Or with an imposition software like Preps.
