Introduction
eBooks are becoming increasingly popular, and so is the amount of competition for designing them. More and more people want their eBooks to be different from the rest, but don't know how to make that happen. Worry not! In this post, I will show you how you can create a stunning eBook cover in just 5 minutes with Canva.
Step One: Choose a Template
The first step is to choose a template. There are so many templates available for you to use, but the first thing you should do is find one that will fit your book's genre. If you have an idea of what kind of cover you want, it'll make this process much easier. For example, if your book is going to be targeted towards business owners and marketers, then a template with some sort of corporate branding might be perfect.
Step Two: Customize the Text
First, click the Text button and choose your font type, size and color. There are lots of options so you're bound to find something that fits your needs.
Then, use the textbox tool at the top of the page to add text onto your cover. You can adjust the font size by clicking on it and dragging it up or down until you find a size that works for you.
Step Three: Add Your Images
The process of designing an eBook cover is a lot simpler than you might think. You can use your own photos, images from the internet, or custom graphics that you create yourself! The most important thing is that your book cover looks professional and makes people want to buy your book.
