What's this course all about?

If you have ever thought about writing an eBook or have already written one, you know having a killer eBook cover is very important. eBook covers make or break the life of an eBook. Unfortunately, the adage don't judge a book by its cover doesn't work online.

Buyers browsing through the Amazon Kindle, Apple iBook, or Google Play stores first and foremost judge a book by its cover.

Your eBook cover has to stand out from the hundreds of other books online. This takes a lot of skill and knowledge of not only design but marketing.

In this course, you'll learn how to make a cover that stands out, gets more clicks, and more sales.

Learn from two great instructors! I teach thousands of students online who love my courses. Just check out all the reviews to my other courses. I have brought in another instructor from the UK to co-teach this course.

Amy from the UK is a professional graphic designer with a knack for teaching online. She'll take us through some basic graphic design theory, teach eBook cover research and theory, and give us her top 10 tips on creating an awesome eBook cover.

This course will have demonstrations and follow-along tutorials so you can easily learn how to make an eBook in Photoshop.

The initial intro to tools was too fast, I was not able to duplicate using the eye dropper and applying color to a rectangle, no matter how many times I rewatched it and tried again. This was very frustrating because it's a basic capability. The instructor doesn't focus on teaching, it's more like "watch me work quickly". I even tried slowing down the video. It's poor teaching, unfortunately. I've worked in technology for decades, so it's not like I'm slow. This application is simply not intuitive and the tools are very tiny. In addition, there was too much filler and fluff in the beginning of the course. And the course keeps focusing on just eBook design, while it was advertised to be for physical books as well when I bought it. Unfortunately, this has not been worth the money. I will turn to YouTube for a free course for better instruction. I regret having taken this. Also, earlier, the woman who spoke was very difficult to understand, not just her accent but she slurs her words. Too bad, I had good experiences with Udemy in the past.

This course was a very good introduction to the process of cover design. I felt like both instructors were qualified to teach in their respective fields and that it delivered the value I was hoping for. The reason I selected a four-star rating instead of five is that some of the videos, particularly in the intro part of the series, took much longer than they needed to without delivering on content. There were a few where the instructor kept repeating the same info and could have said the same thing in half the length of time. Once we got into the actual content, I really liked it and learned a lot about the crucial concepts of cover design from Amy and simple techniques that a beginner can do in Photoshop from Phil.

This course by Phil Ebiner on creating your own custom eBook cover was very beneficial to me. He gave me a lot of inspiration to start realizing my own eBook project for my website. Phil is a very sympathetic teacher, and he can explain difficult issues with his own words in a very clear manner.

This course is exactly what I was searching for in cover design. Although it would help a little more if few of the covers were geared toward the genres Paranormal, Romance, or both. In all, I do like this course so far.
