The latest version of eCover
Creator from Laughing Bird Software is quite an improvement
over former versions. It is Flash-based and has features and options
not found in similar ebook cover design packages.

eCover
Creator is easy to use. Most of the time you will want to
start with creating the cover itself. You can start from scratch or
use one of the 50 professionally-designed templates which are
included.
These are not your
average templates; they are vibrant and make excellent use of color
and font styles. You can tweak these covers in any way desired:
change colors, objects, fonts, shadows, and other special effects.
The good news is you don't have to be a graphic designer to create
great looking graphics; you control these options through a series
of simple, clickable options.

Once you have your cover
graphic created, you can then move to the photo-realistic module.
Just pick one of the pre-designed layouts, drop your cover graphic
into place, and instantly you have a professionally designed, 3D,
photo-realistic graphic.

There are many unusual
selections available including not only the standard books and CDs
and software boxes but also groups of CDs and boxes. You can also
change the background color, and change the reflection or shadowing
effects. You have complete control.

You can even design CD
covers and change the layout to match your web site. With eCover
Creator, graphic design is a breeze. You can export your
images into any of the popular formats or -- check this out --
export it to an animated Flash file so you can make your
photo-realistic ebook cover actually rotate 360 degrees. This let's
people see the back and front of your virtual product.
Many times new versions
of favorite programs are disappointing, but this is not the case
with eCover
Creator. This is one product which keeps getting better and
better. And remember, this program is available for both Windows and
Mac platforms! Check out the sample here.
