Something to remember is to check and see if that book cover is already in use, so you don't run into copyright problems. Because I saw at least one that has a book author already using and monetizing it as a legally sourced, copyrighted creation, and so she has the legal right not the next person that comes along.
Friendly correction... I'm not sure what you mean by " legally sourced". I don't think that's a correct term for this situation. When people use premade templates/ designs. Neither own the copyright. It is perfectly ok for more then one person to actually use it because usually it is acquired via a license to use it it for commercial use. Not one copyright. Also when someone changes the design. It becomes its own design with its own copyright. Although it would be debatable in court if it were very close to the same design. But again it does not apply here because when we get designs from things like creative fabrica, Canva etc . Those design templates are licensed to us. We do not have the copyright. And again of course more then one person can use it or that would not really make sense for them to sell it to more then one person etc ..
@@onceuponatimeIwasAbigGirl it’s the friendly correction for me. ❤ if all people of the world were this nice with their corrections lol.
@@onceuponatimeIwasAbigGirl umm if i just pic one of the pictures from preinterest and make a coverpage by using template . am i gonna get copyright?
@@rabiascookingdiary6420 yes lmao do not do that unless you know the owner of the picture and you ask them for permission
You can also use Bookbrush to use your own designs! Use a drawing platform and put in the correct dimensions for the cover before designing. I used Krita and drew the front, and back, cover of my first book that I hope to be releasing soon (Sea Monster) and then submitted it to Bookbrush's cover creator. If you put the correct dimensions in, the picture should fit perfectly. Then, you can add a background for the spine, add some text for your book like title, author name, etc. Then, save the project, and you're done until it's time to publish! If you're designing the cover before publishing, wait until you have the exact word count and then resubmit the word count to your project, fix everything to the new size, and boom. You have a working book cover and book waiting to be published.
Thank you! I was wondering if I could use my own design in Bookbrush and develop it further. I will look into Krita as well.
i don't plan on using these covers except for personal use, so i have decided to have fun with it and i'm already obsessed!!
I remember struggling to find a cover for the novel I am currently writing. This video is really helpful, thank you so much for making it😊
Hi Ana! Thanks for this awesome look at the Cover Creator in Book Brush. Your covers turned out amazing 🤩
I started a book years ago, but you have inspired me to strive to finally complete it. I have now started brainstorming a fiction novel as well as a memoir. Thank you for creating such useful content for aspiring authors. Your channel has really helped me want to write again.
This girl is helping me a lottttt with my writing i never planned for a novel and actually organized it i always end up deleting Everything because it's never organized
You have been helping me a lot!! I'm currently just in first year trying hard to make my stories perfect and my book cover as well!!! I'm so glad that I discovered you!! TYSM!!

This video was so helpful! Thanks for making a video on this!
You truly saved me. btw you are an incredible designer and sound so sweet!!
So I know this is a older video but I’m a younger person who hopes to become an author, i have a bit of a habit of stressing over every single detail so I’m currently on a spree of trying to figure out how to publish a book and how to make a cover and just how to be better a revising and such, I’ve been watching your videos and you’ve been a great great help! So thank you so so much!
Thank u sm for this amazing vid ana!!
Oh my gosh thank you for this video me and my cousins have been looking for a way to make a easy personalised book this video was so helpful
Thank you Ana for sharing this wonderful tool and good luck with your book project!😊

Canvas is good to make book covers too, for anyone who needs it.

thankkkkkkyouuuu 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This was so helpful to me I’m doing my first book
Thanks for the tips, i was looking for premade cover designs but didn't find anything that would fit yet. Maybe this site can help me 😊 thanks again!
TY so much for this
Ayyy my hualian❤❤
I have gimp. And I have been slacking on using it. Good video.
Thank you Ana
tfw you've been using Dafont since you were a teenager over 10 years ago and the site hasn't updated it's look in all that time but is still awesome and easy to use~
This is so helpful! I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make my cover for a long time and this was very helpful! Do you have any tips for how to come up with a title for your book? I’m struggling lol ❤️❤️
Whats ur book about? Maybe i can help!
@@harrystylesfan4812 The book is told from two POVS. Clo a seventeen year old princess who ran away and is under disguise as a random girl. And Zaj, an 18 year old street thief with two brothers. In this world people with powers are called Defenders. There are different Regions(almost like states) that make up the kingdom. It’s the story of Clo and Zaj (and the rest of the group). Some of them get powers and some don’t. It’s kinda hard to explain. But basically they go on this journey and there is tons of action and betrayal. I don’t know if you can help, but it would be nice if you could :)
@@butterfly_books ok so, are Clo and Zaj defenders? Do they meet later on in the book or do they already know eachother?
@@harrystylesfan4812 they meet later on :) before they realize they have powers, so they are Defenders
@@butterfly_books ok! So is the book’s the whole concept being a defender or the defenders in general? If that’s the case then a possible title could be “The Defenders” or “Defend” (not that good ik lmaoo but its smth). Also are there any important scenes in your book that could somehow have a play in the title? Or important sentences? For example, i have a wip novel thats a love story about two main characters forced to work together and come up with a creative writing project using the solar system. The main characters end up writing a love story about the sun and moon being forced apart but getting to be together during an eclipse. The main characters are Elio and Bruno. I kind of wanted there to be a metaphor for their love story so Elio is like the sun whereas Bruno is like the moon. There are things (like their own internal battles) keeping them from being in a relationship together but eventually they end up together. So my book title is “Eternal Eclipse” because unlike an eclipse that isn’t permanent, their relationship is. So basically an important section in the book (the fact that theyre writing about an eclipse) but not the whole plot has a play in the title. Maybe u could do smth along those lines?
This made me wanne redo my bookcovers. *Again* 😭❤️
ahahha ohh nooooo!! ee I enjoy doing it so I wouldn’t mind hehe
@@ananeu same but I have like 10 different book covers for my 1st book 👍🏻😭
Thanks for this. I need to create some decent book covers for my zombie trilogy, so I will look into Book Brush.
I tried using the site & added my own photos, but the final proof has - Book Brush - stamped on. I take it I can't use the covers on Amazon unless I pay them?
Thank you. ❤
Your handwriting 😍
the genshin accesories and the hualian wallpaper got me OuO HI
I just went into BookBrush and it's $146 per year and the free version had watermarks and was unusable.

Hi Ana! Thanks for introducing me to this awesome site. I will totally use it for stuff. I just want to say, I know that your channel is not mainly crochet but can you do more crochet content. I actually started crochet after I saw your crochet w/ me video. I am going to make a sweater and I think it will be very cute.
Ilysm and have a good night (or whatever time it is in Australia because it’s sunset in Canada),
Maddie
aww maddiiii! i always look forward to ur comments!!❤️ooooo that would be cool! maybe I will do some of those videos!!
Thank you very helpful
my dream might come true always wanted to be a novel writer🥺
thank you for this, uploaded right on time !!
Very cool 👍😊
What type of paper do you use when printing the book cover?
Thanks a lot, I’m doing a series and I’m trying to design book covers that fit the theme, it’s been difficult
how do you make that gold print thing it's so cool
Thank you so much . I just have question. Are mist book over made by using sample templates? Or are they gabd drawn ?
The scratch cover is book brush if you want to know
Thanks Ana for the video☁️🎐🌌🪄🤍☁️
Hi Ana, thank you so much for this video. Amazon just accepted my first low content book ever after a lot of rejections I felt like giving up until I came across your video. You are Godsent and God bless you for me🥹❤️ I just wanted to say thank you😭❤️
A problem I ran into was the Book Brush watermark, I designed and drew my own cover and only used the template to help with the font and back cover. I spent a lot of time making it. If I printed it out would the watermark go away?
I am SO GLAD i found this channel😍
Same!
Sorry for the inconvenience, but when I use any image from the search tool to use it for my book, do I have to contact its owner for the rights? Or can I use it?
I started to use book brush I just had a little sweep through and trust Mr its good just don't k ow how to use it yet
thnks 🥰
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Can you use this same method for the back cover?
when you use a template, is there not a way to edit the back, like when you do it from scratch?
I’ve created a beautiful book cover with this free service. Thank you for showing us how to use it. Although, I do have a question. The color that I created… I’ve been trying to change the hair color of the girl to blonde. Is there a way to do this?
Well, I'm writing a book a I need to make a cover book but I don't want to get a copyright so is this the best way to make it without getting in trouble? I think your video helped me but I want to make sure. Thank you 🙂
If you're editing a book cover , did you know what kind of paper did they use to cover the front page of the book ? I mean the book cover of it?
Ive been watching a lot of vids to see how to do the front cover of my book lets just say my first one was well..😅 btw do i have to use book brush or can i also use procreate? Ik ur busy but pls anwser or anyone who has Illustrated a book im writing and drawing my book so extra work but i get all the credit!!

hi! wow amazing tips , how do i find professional design cover? i’ve been trying to find one as i’ve written one of the book :))
How do you save the cover to your computer or thumb drive to upload to Amazon and other platforms?
My cover had a water mark on it and it doesn't go away when I save it. Is there way to get ride of that?
SO GOOD!

I already made my front and back cover, but I have trouble finding the precise dimensions to use. My first book is quite short. Only about 20.000 word which is about 70 pages. I'm planning to go back and rewrite certain parts before I try to print.
Do you need help?

I know this is off topis but i liked seeing the ouran host club sticker? poster? in the room lol
Hello! I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I was wondering if you or anybody had any advice on formatting your first draft? I always spend hours formatting my text and then just giving up or losing motivation to write. 😅
I wanted to notify you that she made a video on it a day ago!!
@@bluecrystalclear2344 oh, thank you!
