HOW TO CREATE A PRINT BOOK COVER FOR FREE WITH CANVA

Authors. Are you an independent publisher?

Learn how to use a free Canva account to create the perfect book covers for your paperback or hardback print books.

Canva is a free drag and drop image design platform that has made it possible for anyone to create stunning graphic designs without any prior technical knowledge. You no longer need to buy expensive, advanced, and very complex photo-manipulation software to create book cover designs for your project.

This course gives you a complete step by step guide on how to use Canva to create a print book cover that will be accepted by Kindle Direct Publishing Print or other print-on-demand publishing platforms such as Lulu and IngramSpark.

The covers are downloaded as print-ready PDFs and can be used for both paperback and hardback print books.

Why design the cover of your print book yourself?

  • You save time and money. No need to hire a freelancer or design company.

  • You can change any aspect of the book and have it available within minutes. No waiting for someone else to find the time to make the edits.

  • Having the paperback format of a Kindle eBook available is a great option for those readers who prefer physical print books.

  • Designing and creating the cover for a print book is an excellent learning experience into how print books are constructed that you can apply to any document design process.

  • You can construct a template print cover document which you can use for any future print books with the same characteristics.

  • You have total control over how the design of your book will appear, including the print size, font combinations and colour layout. Images, graphics and text can be added with one click.

This is a perfect option for independent publishers who intend to write a series of books with a similar type of content.

For example. This is a great choice for creators of low-content books where the interior design of the text is the same in each book, but the cover art is used to make each print book unique.

In this course, case-study examples will be used to demonstrate how Canva can be used for both fiction and non-fiction print books.
