The latest version of eCover Creator from Laughing Bird Software is
quite an improvement over former versions. It is Flash-based and has features
and options not found in similar ebook cover design packages.
eCover Creator
is easy to use. Most of the time you will want to start with creating the
cover itself. You can start from scratch or use one of the 50
professionally-designed templates which are included.
These are not your average templates; they are vibrant and
make excellent use of color and font styles. You can tweak these covers in any
way desired: change colors, objects, fonts, shadows, and other special
effects. The good news is you don't have to be a graphic designer to create
great looking graphics; you control these options through a series of simple,
clickable options.
Once you have your cover graphic created, you can then move to
the photo-realistic module. Just pick one of the pre-designed layouts, drop
your cover graphic into place, and instantly you have a professionally
designed, 3D, photo-realistic graphic.
There are many unusual selections available including not only
the standard books and CDs and software boxes but also groups of CDs and
boxes. You can also change the background color, and change the reflection or
shadowing effects. You have complete control.
You can even design CD covers and change the layout to match
your web site. With eCover Creator,
graphic design is a breeze. You can export your images into any of the popular
formats or -- check this out -- export it to an animated Flash file so
you can make your photo-realistic ebook cover actually rotate 360 degrees.
This let's people see the back and front of your virtual product.
