Welcome to our definitive guide on “How to Layout a Book Cover Design: A Simple Steps Guide.” Are you an author, designer, or passionate DIYer looking to take control of your book’s first impression? Do you want to transform your great ideas into a compelling cover that piques readers’ curiosity?
Your journey as an author isn’t complete without designing a compelling book cover. One crucial part of this process is deciding on the “trim size”, which, in essence, is the final size of your book after its pages have been cut. Now, if you’re wondering why this is so important, let me tell you this: […]

Having cut my teeth on Photoshop v1.0, I have long been a user of Photoshop. However, it wasn’t until CS4 that I started creating Actions. In fact, I knew very little about Actions as they never came up as a viable solution to any workflow I’ve had to accomplish in my many years with this […]

Here is another great PSD Mockup for a popular Samsung Android Smartphone released in 2012, the Samsung Galaxy S III. This PSD Mockup Android template was created by Eryk Pastwa and has a light and dark version of the same Samsung Galaxy S II model. The resolution of the Android screen is 720×1280 and was […]
The Nokia Lumina is a very nice Windows 8 Smartphone. This PSD Mockup from Dorin Vancea was first released in Dec 2012 and can be freely downloaded from their site Modern UI Design.

Brand designs for beverage cans, books, cereal, brochures and even software are painstakingly crafted with excruciating detail. And when the 2D design is done the effort […]
Our iPhone 5 Cover Actions are a faithful recreation of Apple’s newest Retina display iPhone. These Action will render your 2D artwork, UI/UX workflow designs or wireframes onto a hi-resolution 300DPI glossy 3D product shot that you can freely place into your website, office presentation or marketing campaign.
Creating a Cover Action product is a time consuming process, however, I enjoy it because it keeps the brain occupied. This site doesn’t currently have an in-depth tutorial on how to create a Cover Action but I did recently author a post on psd.tutsplus.com that should be out around the time your read this. In […]
I’m sounding like a dead horse at this point, but I discovered quite recently that Wikipedia is an incredible treasure trove of vector graphics. In the last few posts I’ve made a point of that fact by listing off where to find MLB, NFL and NHL team logos, now this post is about the NBA.
Wikipedia.org has a huge collection of sports team logos in vector format. There are many sites which offer these exact same vector logos for a price, however I’m not certain they are legit so if you need to use a vectorized logo of any sports team or brand then maybe you can save a few […]
