In this GIMP 2.10 tutorial, I show you how to design book covers for print or for digital books (i.e. Amazon or eBooks). I include how to add photos, text, and eye-catching gradient backgrounds for a modern and dramatic design.
This graphic design tutorial is perfect for beginners wanting to learn GIMP and to empower themselves by designing their own book covers. Authors and publishers especially will find this tutorial useful.
