Is there any way to do some cheap graphic design for ebook covers and contents? I just got a quote for $385 and I am trying to save some money since I am just getting started at this.

Thanks,
Hal

Download Gimp 2.0 and start creating some graphics. That's all free.

If you look in the Warriors For Hire section, you can find some good designers for around $50.

$385 for just an ecover? Jeez.

Warriors for Hire section or maybe even the WSO section has some very talented people.

Gimp is good, if you have the time to figure it out. Personally I use PhotoShop but it ain't cheap. Warrior for Hire is most definitely your best bet and you can get graphics for alot less than what you were quoted.

  Hey buddy, I was once like you, trying to figure out how to do the same thing you are and fortunately I found the answer and it happens to be FREE! It is an action script that comes with full installation instructions and pretty much creates a great e-book cover in seconds.

  Things you should know:
  
  To get great looking ebook covers you really need to understand and utilize gradients. If you don't know what that is try going to a tutorial site and learning off a pro.
  
  This action script only produces one form but is absolutely free so it's a great place to start.
  
  When saving things like ebook covers to use for your website, save it under the .png format with the background layer hidden in photoshop because that's the only way your image will be transparent. If you use a .jpeg format then you will continuously see a white background which can be frustrating when trying to layer it on other colours.
  
  When you make your photoshop file, set the resolution to 300 pixel/inch instead of 72 pixel/inch (300 pixel/inch if you want high resolution covers), but be warned that this creates a larger file and will take longer to load when placed on a website.
  
  When creating your e-book cover look at other e-book covers and actually put some time and thought into it. Putting graphics and suitable font over top of a quality colour gradient(s) and then applying a wonderful drop shadow and reflection leads to an impeccable ebook cover. AND IT'S ALL FOR FREE!!!
  
  But yea that's all I have to say, sorry for making this so long and I hope this works for you. It did for me. I'll e-mail you something I whipped up in 5 minutes if you want to see an example.

  Hope This Helps.
