Quick and Easy E-book Covers in 3D

Are digital E-book readers the wave of the future? Apple has an app for reading e-books on your iPhone, Sony’s got a line of new portable digital readers, and apparently there is a device called the Kindle2 that you can read your e-books with. Honestly I didn’t know there was a Kindle1. If I didn’t know better I’d say these mega companies are betting on the increased sales of e-books and we need to take notice. For anyone interested in writing a book now may be the best time to make it happen.
I recently did a video tutorial showing how to layout a e-book cover design in Microsoft Expression. As a follow up, I want to take you through the steps of turning that 2D art into a 3D book using Gimp. After watching this video you’ll be able to give your e-book art that tangible realistic look.
