These templates are built with Photoshop Actions which are stored right inside the Photoshop interface. You’ll never have to search your hard drive to find a blank cover template because they'll always be available right inside Photoshop. Complete instructions are included for installing the Actions. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of Photoshop Actions before. They are really easy to use!

Templates are built at 1674 x 2500 pixels (6x9 cover size) and are ideal for higher resolution Kindle devices.

Each template includes its own video tutorial. These tutorials explain in detail how to get the most out of each template. With over 2 hours of content, there are many helpful suggestions and instructions on how to achieve different looks.

Delivered a number of good templates to use for kindle book covers. Gives you ideas for creating your own book covers. But not sure why you need the actions. The templates in psd formate are exactly the same and doesn't clutter up your action list.

So, definitely my fault for not fully reading the course description/other reviews - but this course doesn't teach you how to create covers, or even teach you anything about what makes a book cover good, etc. You get 6 templates and he teaches you how to edit them all. I do like the templates! So nothing wrong there. But I will say that all the basic intro stuff (showing/telling how to select the type tool, and how to copy an image, for example...) gets super tedious to hear every. single. tutorial. I ended up watching it at 1.5x speed because it was super repetitive and unnecessary to hear the basic things soo many times.

I have used Photoshop for years and still learned a lot of interesting tricks here. I was hoping for more on what makes a cover great as far as layout, colors, etc., but still think I got a lot of useful info from the course. Thanks!

More of a tool kit maybe than a course, I learned nothing about actual Graphic Design. BUT..... I do now have a great set of basic book cover templates and I know how to customize them in many ways. Real world practical stuff! Well worth the time and money. Will still try to learn a bit of Graphic Design elsewhere. But in the meantime I have gained genuinely useful practical knowledge, and - well - a thoroughly useful toolkit! :)

Hervorragende Einführung in das Erstellen eines Covers für Leute, die kaum eine Ahnung von Photoshop haben, leider ist der Kurs schon etwas älter, die Covervorlagen nicht mehr ganz aktuell - deswegen ein halber Punkt weniger.

I have learned more about PS in a few lessons than I did in the past few years. Great course and super templates.

The only problem with this course is that it ends. It took me a long time to get through the course because I savored it like a fine meal. Everything about the course is excellent and highly recommend it.

I have finished this course last year, today when I browsed my courses on Udemy I found that I forgot to leave a review at that time, now I would like to do a short review, I hope it's not too late. This course is really helpful to me, last year I started my graphic design journey and learned how to design a kindle book cover with this instructor, he represents this course in easy to follow steps, along with some very useful book templates, I used these templates to design some covers for my clients, it's time saving. For anyone who doesn't know how to design a kindle cover and want to be a cover designer, I highly suggest you get this course.

This is a great course for any Kindle author or publisher of Kindle books for other authors. Though I have worked with Photoshop for years I am not a graphic artist. The templates in the course can be used to create hundreds of unique designs. I also learned how to mimic covers of existing books but change them enough to look unique. Absolutely worth the $47 I paid. I look forward to additional courses and/or templates.
