The course is a little rough, but the beauty of it is that he is informative, shows you best practices (including real-world errors that are easy to correct), is informative, uses more than one platform, and provides extra resources on available tools. Easy to listen to and follow. I enjoyed the course.

It is a very good course but I will have to watch it a few times to take all the information in as I am completely new to this.

There is a lot to learn in this course, but it is more of an tour of Canva and cover design concepts. The instructor demonstrates how to do things, but does not explain what he is doing. If you are looking for a good overview, this class is for you. If you wish to master using Canva, another course may work better for you.

I thought he was going to make a low content paper book but I was wrong. No problem though it's an interesting course.

This course provided an opportunity to observe the process of creating the cover. From researching the covers of similar books on the topic to exploring all the options Canva offers. I'm halfway through and am really satisfied with the course so far. I definitely recommend it.

I really like how he brings up copyright info right away. I enjoyed learning about book cover design. I found that Romney is easy to listen to and learn from. I like that he gives multiple sites instead of just one, so there are options to see if you prefer one site over another. I dont know why I was scared when it got to the end of the course and he said it's your turn to put this info into practice. But once I started (after rewatching a few sections) I was busy plugging in different photos, fonts, editing, and it's so much fun. I highly recommend this class if your a newbie on this stuff. I'm glad I got his other courses and I've already got a few covers going with soooo many ideas. Thank you Romney!

i thought the course was very good but it could maybe be improved by including some printable cheat sheets out lining certain aspects and file types, and some main points which would add extra value

This course was excellent for teaching tips and tricks to cover design. Romney is very thorough and helps you through the whole design and uploading process. He shares his wealth of knowledge and has a very easy teaching style. I would recommend this course for anyone interested in improving/learning cover design for self publishing.

Lots of good information on Canva as a tool. Great information about the licensing options about free and paid versions. Romney has knocked it out of the park again with this course. This class is a master class on covers. I learned a great kept secret in the alternate cover design using BookBolt. Thats a huge secret that will save you loads of time. Thanks for this class.

I really enjoyed this course. Romney goes deep into Book Cover Design especially in the use of Canva but also using many other resources. This is a must have course for anyone who wants to delve into Low Content Book Publishing. It is well worth the money.
