It's a real challenge marketing products that people can't hold in
their hands. What does it look like? Is it cool? Is it right for me? Do I
really need it?
In order to remove these doubts -- these reasons for people to abandon
a sale -- you need to make these intangible products tangible through the
creation of a well designed graphic -- an ebook cover or a software box.
Unfortunately, most of us are not artists, and that's where Virtual
Cover Creator comes in might handy. Check out the sample graphics
below.
Sure you could pay a professional designer about $100.00
to create a single cover, but wouldn't you rather spend the same amount of
money to create unlimited designs yourself? It's a no-brainer decision.
Sure you would.
Now there are several software tools available to create
ebook covers and software boxes and CD cases. Most are quite good. The
best of them come with a library of ready-made professionally designed
graphics. Virtual
Cover Creator does, too. In fact, I think their graphics are among
the best I've seen to date. All you need to do is add some text
and, bingo, you're done.
Virtual
Cover Creator allows for tremendous flexibility. It has a built-in
graphics package so you no longer need to juggle between multiple packages
to create your design. This really makes it much faster to complete your
project. The graphics package is VERY powerful. I was surprised by
what it could do. Very full-featured, making this almost like two tools
in one.
After you design your front cover, spine or box tops, you
can assemble them and view them in 3D immediately. The rendering is
top-notch with Direct X 8.1 installed and a fast processor.
You can rotate the image, change the lighting, the reflection, the
shadows, all in real-time. Fantastic!
The neatest feature I have seen is the ability to manipulate
objects. Let's say you have designed a wide book case to hold multiple
books. You can determine the number of books that will fit into the book
case. You can slide each book in and out of the case. You can slide
a CD in and out of its jewel case. This is VERY cool.
While I have used other competitive products for some
time, Virtual
Cover Creator may very well become the only tool I use to
create covers and boxes in the future. It's that good. To learn more and
