Hi designers! I'm so excited to launch a new and improved book jacket design tutorial. This one is even more special because you get to see how I designed the cover of my photo book that I launched last November. Also, don't forget to check the description box for a link to the source files and other resources for your designs! Thanks for watching.

Hello Nicki! Your video was tremendously helpful to me. I request you to make a video explaining the process of creating the template and setting that up from the scratch. That would be very helpful for the beginners like me. You explain everything in detail thanks once more for that as well.

I used to be a graphic designer and it has been a few year that I haven't used inDesign

how do you add the cover to your indesign book file?

If you were to get a freelance project from a publisher (penguin, simon and schuster, etc) would the art director provide you with a template for the book cover/ book cover jacket. So you woulden't have to manually set this up? and just focus on the design part?
