Some tools are worth many times their weight in gold. Such is the case for Killer
Abstract Backgrounds 2. Without a doubt, the more visually compelling
your supporting graphics, the easier it is to sell your product. This is
especially the case with ebooks and software tools sold on the Net. If you
have a well-designed ebook cover or box or CD graphics, chances are your
product will sell better than one that doesn't.
The same may be said of graphical web page headers. The more professional
they look, the more well-designed and captivating, the better your chance of
capturing a visitor's attention and getting them to lean in and learn more
about, read your sales pitch and make a sale.
Over the years a number of tools have been released to make it easier for
the novice graphic designer and marketer to develop their own product and
header graphics, but in all honesty most of these end products look very
amateurish and actually wind up hurting the sale more than helping it.
To that end, Killer
Abstract Backgrounds 2 makes it easier for the novice or experienced
designer to develop stronger, more visually compelling designs by allowing you
to create and implement good background graphics.
As you can clearly see in the above examples, the box on the
left looks clean and professional, but it is actually quite bland while the
box on the right looks vibrant and intriguing. Notice how the addition of the
abstract background makes the V2 logo "pop" and adds interest to the
overall image. Given the choice of buying the product, most people would click
on the image on the right. That's a subtle example of how the addition of a
simple abstract background can enhance your product images and potentially
your sales.
When I reviewed the first edition of this graphics collection,
Killer
Abstract Backgrounds, I showed an example of a box I created. Here,
too, you can see that by adding an abstract background image, I am able to
make the product title and supporting images "pop" off the cover,
making the image more visually interesting and compelling.
Now before Killer
Abstract Backgrounds and Killer
Abstract Backgrounds 2 you would need to spend either considerable
time or money to create this level of sophisticated background graphics. While
you can purchase background images from stock photo sites, they are usually
upwards of $1.00 each and can not be further customized and they frequently
have usage limitations. Killer
Abstract Backgrounds 2 comes with 36 images in PSD format, allowing
you to change colors, effects, and combinations to create virtually an
unlimited number of abstract backgrounds. This is money well spent.
You will need a software tool capable of working with PSD
(PhotoShop files) but there are options here including Adobe Elements and the
freeware GIMP, so all is not lost if you do not own the more expensive
PhotoShop. To see a movie explaining how to use Killer
