Book photoshop actions are one of the simple ways to streamline efficiency and good design – with a click of your mouse.
As graphic designers, we naturally want to be creating everything we use in a design, from the simple shadow graphics to complex photo manipulations.
The thing is, being able to create anything we envision isn't always the most important factor for any particular job or project. One of the best ways of being efficient with our CTA's are book photoshop actions.
Ebooks are one of the best ways to earn recurring income or fame, simply by having something great to say. One of the cons is that you need to heavily promote your ebook. Creating the eye-catching calls-to-action your ebook needs to gain the attention from the web isn't all that easy. We'll get into the actual book photoshop actions soon enough, but first...
Design Around Your Content
Your titles are going to be the most important aspect of your ebooks, whitepapers and guides. If someone just sees the color orange as your ebook cover, they're not going to associate a need or value with your offer. Having a clear, "WIIFM" (What's in it for me?) message will make designing your ebook that much easier.
Make Sure Your Book Photoshop Action You Choose is Right for Your Brand
A rendering of an older-looking, 1800s style hardcover book might look cool and vintage-y, but it will not meet your brand's standards as a whole. Matching up your book photoshop action with your brand will come naturally, and if there are any doubts on the one you're thinking about – keep searching!
Remember the Main Goal of Using Book Photoshop Actions
The main goal of using these book photoshop actions, is to streamline your presentation of any ebook, whitepaper or guide you publish. Keeping your renders consistent will strengthen your brand and make you look like the company to beat ;)
