Making book covers |
Books become soiled when handled constantly or even when they just sit on the shelf for long periods of time. Book covers are a convenient way to keep them clean. Here's how to make your own original book covers. |
To produce the large images needed for a book cover, you will need graphics software or image editing software. Obviously, you might also choose to combine several images using page layout software. Depending on the size of the book, you might need to use a folio-sized color ink jet printer. |
Use strong but not necessarily thick paper as your book covers. Select designs and colors that camouflage any subsequent soiling that might occur. |
