Book Cover Design Templates
A book cover is an essential element of marketing and sales for your book. It is the first thing your potential readers see, so an appealing visual can grab their attention and encourage them to buy your story. A well-designed cover can also help you stand out on a bookshop shelf or online if you’re creating an E-book. Another crucial thing a cover does is reveal the genre and content of a novel. Just go to the closest store and try to guess genres by looking at covers. You’ll see that it’s not that difficult. Knowing how important a book cover is for a writer’s career, let’s see how you can create one without spending too much time designing it.
Browse ready-made premium and free book cover templates in VistaCreate. This graphic design platform — and photo and video editor — simplifies design for people with different levels of expertise. VistaCreate offers hundreds of customizable book cover templates, royalty-free images and videos, thematic objects, decorative fonts, and more. You can leverage our vast media library for your visual projects.
Just select a layout that matches your creative idea and start working on it. Change the colors and fonts on your cover. Use decorative typography for the name of the story, but make sure it’s legible. Experiment with shades or check out ready-made color and font combinations in “Styles”. Then, edit the text on your book cover: author’s name, book name, subline, and more.
Done with the basics? Now, it’s time to think about what you want to see on the book cover. If you want to add a photo to it, explore our collection of royalty-free images and illustrations, and make your choice. If you wish to upload your own pic to the editor, you can easily do so by going to “Uploads”. You can also use hundreds of thematic objects to make your cover attention-grabbing and unique. Find them by keywords in the “Objects” section.
