Photoshop Basics for Authors
This course is for beginners! It’s for those who have never used Photoshop before. This course is perfect for authors who want to learn the basics of Photoshop and design their own marketing material. In fact, at the end of the course, I show you how to take everything you’ve learned and use it to design a business card step-by-step with me!
This course includes video lessons, as well as a Photoshop keyboard shortcut printable.
Typography in Book Cover Design
This course is designed for those who are familiar with Photoshop but want to know the technical and creative side of professionally adding typography to your book cover. This is especially useful when you hire an illustrator to create custom artwork for your cover, but you still need to have the typography added and the book formatted and exported for print.
This course includes video lessons, the Photoshop keyboard shortcuts printable, and a font cheatsheet that you can use to get ideas for different fronts, specific to genre.
Designing Book Covers in Photoshop
This course is the bread and butter! It’s probably what you all envisioned when you asked for a cover design course. This is an advanced course where I cover photomanipulation and how to turn boring stock photos into unique book covers. While I do talk about typography a little in this course, I still recommend taking my Typography in Book Cover Design course to get the full technical side of fonts and type.
This course includes video lessons, the Photoshop keyboard shortcut printable, and access to a student-only Facebook group where you can post your covers to get feedback and design tips!
Join 200+ students who have learned to design their book covers themselves
