Free Templates, Tips & Tutorials

It’s Not Always About Me

Posted by Tracy On September - 18 - 2008

Sure, it’d be great if it was all about me and my great stuff here on EZebt, but it isn’t, because you can get a ton of terrific info and usable products from other people too. Some of it free. Some of it at cost.

Now, just because something wasn’t created by me doesn’t mean it isn’t top shelf.

And I’d just be a total jerk if I didn’t include that info and/or links here for you. So, you’re going to see a whole lot of links to other people’s websites and products in the days, weeks, and months to come. And NO, they aren’t all going to be affiliate links that make me money.

It’s not about that.

It’s about providing you with great designing resources. And other products that will make your online career easier.

It’s about helping YOU make money. Not me.

For me, it’s always been about that. Sometimes, other people make waaaaaay better stuff than I could ever dream up. And it’s cool to give them recognition for their hard work. Besides the fact that it’s useful info for you, and anyone else that decides to saunter in off the ‘net to take a look-see at what’s here.

I promise though, I’ll try to stay “on point” and deliver graphic related news, links, free videos, and other assorted goodies that you can use whether your designing ebook layouts or website layouts.

It’ll be good stuff.

And, every post I make is going to be of a “conversational” tone.

It’s just how I write. Like you and I were sitting in a small cafe across the table from one another enjoying a cafe latte — or whatever you drink ;-)

Okay, I’m getting a little off topic here, so let me close this post out for now. Just be on the look out for more great graphic design stuff from talented designers the web over.

EZ Ebook Template Package #7 Released

Posted by Tracy On August - 24 - 2008

I have released the seventh edition of EZ Ebook Templates, and this time, they are all “ready for print” type designs.

Here’s a quick break down of what’s included in this package:

* 5 Different “White Paper” Style .ODT Template Files

* 5 Blank Matching eCover Designs

* All .PSD Files For Both The Ebook Templates & Flat eCover Designs Included

* Full Master Resell Rights To the Entire Package

* Master Reseller Kit Including All Graphics, Sales Page, and Thank You Page

This is a great package for those out there that like the EZ Ebook Template designs, but wished there were more “white paper” styles. Plus, having access to the .PSD files means you can drop in your own graphics and color schemes, which is always good ;-)

Like “Kung Fu Panda”? Then READ THIS!

Posted by Tracy On June - 30 - 2008

Now that I’ve got your undivided attention…..

I recently saw Kung Fu Panda and it was a fantastically fun movie for the whole family. Which we all thoroughly enjoyed to the max!!

So, being inspired by the movie, I designed a new free ebook template with the “Kung Fu Panda” feel.

There’s actually 2 different colors right now — red and blue

But I will add a few more colors soon — like green and pink, etc.

The templates are the last 2 to be added, so they’re numbers #13 and #14

Go and download ‘em now!

They wreak of awesomeness….

New “Easy Stripes” Package Released

Posted by Tracy On June - 30 - 2008

I got mine yesterday.

And it was created by one of my favorite authors…..Max of www.maxcovers.com

Max has a great talent for making some of the best cover designs I’ve seen.

But he also has a terrific knack for knowing what types of products to release to the designing community that are beau coup profitable.

While his concepts of picking a profitable product may seem strangely simple, I think that’s what makes them work so well.

They are simple.

And that’s outstanding!

Sometimes with the never ending clutter of our world, especially online, we need simple solutions to our designing headaches. And Max certainly delivers on that.

Enough a** kissing already! Tell me about this ’simple yet incredibly time saving’ product you speak of…

Okay, okay.

It’s called ‘Easy Striped Backgrounds‘ , and as I mentioned earlier it was created by Max of www.maxcovers.com.

The package consists of 100 web 2.0 styled backgrounds that will tile seamlessly no matter what size page you’re using.

The colors are nice, and there’s a good variety of them to select from to get the perfect match for your next project.

Now, why do I believe this particular product is a ‘time saver’?

Because instead of going over to www.stripegenerator.com and creating your own stripe-y backgrounds, you can just load up one from the package and be done with it.

It only takes a couple of seconds if you’re using an HTML editor like Dreamweaver. So why not cut down on your design time?

But, that’s not the only thing you’ll find inside here.

Normally, when you create your own web 2.0 seamlessly tiling background image, in order to use it with an image editor like Photoshop, you’d first need to convert the image over to a pattern to fill in an entire background of a project you were working on.

Max has taken care of that too.

He’s included a .pat file that you can simply load up inside of Photoshop and make use of all 100 of the backgrounds with just a couple of mouse clicks.

So, there’s yet another ‘time saver’ with this well rounded ‘designers friend‘ package.

Not only those 2 things, but Max also gives you a Master Resale Rights license to the whole thing so you can resell it to other ‘needy’ designers out there.

Here’s What’s Inside:

  • 100 .png Files For Every Web 2.0 Stripe-y Background
  • 1 .pat File For Use Inside of Photoshop Helping You Create Background Areas Within Your Designs
  • A Master Resale Rights License For The Whole Package
  • 1 Saleskit For Super Easy Reselling
  • And 1 .txt File of Simple Instructions on How to Use The Backgrounds

It’s a wonderful package that Max has priced low at just $17.

And I’m sure you’re curious to see examples of the backgrounds themselves, so you can check those out:

See Max’s Easy Striped Backgrounds Package Here

(be sure you order from the main index.htm page ONLY
or you'll pay the regular price!!)

And, if you decide you want to add Max’s newest package to your designing arsenal, you can do so and save $7 off the original price from the same link above ^^^^^^^.

I highly recommend this package for those looking to shave some time off their designing projects and still stay ‘up-to-snuff’ with the latest web 2.0 styles.

Way to go Max. And keep those packages comin’!

I, for one, can’t get enough of them ;-)

It’s a package I use in my designs. And it’s a package that you could use in virtually any type of template design.

It’s called Killer Text. And it’s fantastic!

What exactly is Killer Text and what exactly does it do?

Killer Text is a thunderous package of Photoshop Actionscripts that turn plain text into wowzer text. Is that a word? :-D

I don’t know, but it’s a great tool to have for all your text design elements to make your next design leap from the page!

I can’t describe all the benefits of having Killer Text here, but I highly recommend you visit Max’s site and see for yourself what this affordable package can do for your next template designs:

Like I said, it’s a great package with tons of applications that will really boost your designing prowess.

Well done Max, well done.
