I found this article on ebook design yesterday. It might be useful thoughts if you want to know about designing ebook. Btw, above is our first ebook design that we’ve been figure out for a few month to get the realistic rendering and 3D look and feel. Thanks to our secret staff Razlan for the commitment on this project.

What goes into designing a good ebook cover?
Designing an ebook cover involves several design elements. These are the choice of fonts, the illustration, use of color, the quality of the cover image and the size of the finished file.
Choice of fonts: Ebook covers are small so it’s necessary to use fonts that are compact and easy to read. There are millions of fonts to choose from but only a few work well in the reduced format of an ebook cover.
The illustration: A cover that’s just plain text can be pretty boring. An image will liven up the design and can also convey the theme of your book.
Color is another useful tool in the design of your cover. Colors have their own energies and it’s important to select colors that complement the theme of your ebook.
Image quality: A cover image must be razor sharp and crystal clear to sell your ebook. Too many of the covers you see on the Internet are fuzzy and flat.
Image optimization: Although not part of the actual design process, the final important step is to optimize your cover for the web. This reduces the number of colors and give a smaller file size so your image downloads quickly in your customer’s browser.
These are some of the ingredients that go into designing ebook covers. In addition, there’s skill, talent and experience.
