How To

The first step in creating an ebook cover is to draw a flat one dimensional rectangle and then add the title and author information. Next, draw a long, narrow rectangle and place it next to the first rectangle. This will be the spine of the ebook. To give the ebook the three dimensional appearance, select each of the two rectangles independently and use the perspective tool. Align the two rectangles and then add another rectangle to the top to finish its three dimensional look.
