The Ultimate Canva Book Cover Design Guide

Publishing a Book? Design Your Own Cover!

A custom professional book cover can cost anywhere from $300-$800+, even before the editing, typesetting, marketing, and other publishing costs.

After reading dozens of stories about authors who had sunk $2,000+ of their savings into the publication of their first book (with very little ROI), I knew I had to help them alleviate some of that cost. Especially since creating a book cover in Canva costs nothing with free images and fonts!

For the past 10 months, I turned years of experience with Canva book cover designing into an easy-to-understand practical tool for self-published authors. I wanted to help authors create their own book covers on a budget — or for free! — all by themselves.

In this design guide, you can expect 1 complete PDF file that includes:

• 87 pages of informational and practical design advice, exercises, examples, and visual aids.
• 40+ original front, back, and book layout designs using Canva's tools, free images from Unsplash, and the Midjourney art generator.
• An introduction to design elements, such as how to place and use titles, subtitles, reviews, author bios, taglines, summaries, images, colors, and font, to your advantage to better help sell your book.
• Step-by-step walkthroughs on designing around images to create cohesive and legible front and back book covers.
• An explanation of how to use KDP’s book layout template to properly size, space, and design your cover to meet KDP’s requirements.
• An overview of how to use Canva’s design tools to make your images and fonts POP!
