You do not have to hire a designer to make these for you.
Once you have a JPG or PNG of your cover you can make 3-D mock-ups to help your book marketing & social media awareness for your book.
We have used this free service to make many 3-D mockups. not the cover design itself, just the image of the book… before you can actually take a picture of it. This is great for the early phases of publishing when all the behind-the-scenes are still in progress… but you want to show people what it is going to look like when it is done– EVEN SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE!
We use http://diybookcovers.com/3Dmockups/#
Just Click the link
- Select the visual concept, chose the template you like
- Upload your cover design
- Download the 3-D mockup. (I always prefer the PNG version, but you can also download the JPEG if you want. Hint: the PNG allows me to drop the covers into a canva doc and make the book look like it is sitting on a bookshelf or table etc.
That is how we made this image and dozens like it.
It is quick & easy. to make ebook, paperback, and even more with this link. If you like creating and playing yourself have fun with this.
I recommend our authors to play with this early in the process, sometimes before you have a formal cover design… SEEING is BELIVING. So let yourself see your completed book and then work towards making that a reality.
