7 Ebook Layout Inspiration Sites

Posted by Tracy On September - 19 - 2008

I follow a lot of other graphic sites and I see them do this frequently, so I thought I should do the same.

Today’s post will provide you with a list of sites you can draw some design inspiration from when you feel as if you can’t come up with any ideas on your own. This list isn’t for you to go and recopy the exact designs you see, but to aid you in creating your own unique designs by peeking over the shoulder of other designers.

And, there’s not really a whole lot of ebook template layout design inspirational resource lists out there, so this will be the first of it’s kind — that I know of anyway :-D

So, let’s get to this first list of inspirational resources….

1. StockLayouts.com - Loads of great design inspiration here from newsletters, to brochures, and my personal favorite, the Letterhead template section. Check them out when you need a quick burst of creative genius


2. Paper Direct - Some decent bordered paper letterhead design layouts to peruse through in various categories. I personally liked the “Everyday Border Papers” category myself


3. VistaPrint.com - A nice gallery with plenty of inspirational letterhead paper designs to inspire you


4. OptimalPrint.com - Good assortment of graphic letterhead designs in a variety of styles


5. Microsoft Office Online - Of course you can always visit this free resource and check out the user submitted letterhead designs, not a bad resource to have


6. HP Office Letterheads - Not too many designs here, but there are links to more such as the Identity Kits, those are worth a quick look for sure for plenty of fresh ideas


7. Log Technology Letterhead Portfolio - Looking through these will give you a better idea of what customers are wanting in designs and how much they are willing to pay to get it!

Well, that’s all the resources I’m going to list for today. That should plenty to get your creative juices flowing. I will add more of these inspirational designing sites in future posts so that we always keep all your ideas fresh :-)

We Are Changing…

Posted by Tracy On September - 13 - 2008

Yes, I’m changing the platform of EZebook Templates. But not from WordPress. I love it too much :-D  No, I’m talking about changing the actual design layout. This will take me some time to get everything adjusted to my liking, but it will be terrific when it’s done.

If you’re wondering, I’m using a free WordPress theme called ZinMag Futura.

Sort of getting ready for the upcoming “Fall” season with the colors, but, hey, I really like it. And there are several reasons why.

For one, it gives you a lot more freedom to add media like video, slideshows for your recent posts, and of course, a special “featured” post, like this one. While I continue to work on this theme, I am also working on more free ebook templates that will also be added shortly. I will make another post on this.

Things are changing, yes. But they will be good changes :-)

More to come, most definitely!

Private Membership Section Coming Soon

Posted by Tracy On July - 13 - 2008

I am kicking around the idea of starting up a paid members only section that will include fresh ebook templates, new backgrounds to use, tools, videos, tutorials, etc.

The ebook templates will come with Master Resale Rights and some of the other content, may or may not come with the same rights (or better rights). I haven’t decided just yet. But, I do know this….

All the content included will NOT be found anywhere else except inside the paid members only section. That is a definite!

So far, it’s breaking down to including the following:

  • Fresh Ebook Templates Added As They Are Created Each Month — No Exact Time Frame Set Except For Adding Monthly Templates
  • Pre-Built Website Template Set For Each Ebook Template That Matches The Ebook Design
  • Exclusive Backgrounds To Use Within Your Own Ebook Designs
  • Ecover Actionscripts That Can Be Added
  • Original Photoshop Brush Sets For Photoshop 7 and Up You Can Use Commercially Without Restrictions
  • Blank eCover Designs
  • Any Additional Tools To Help In Ebook Creation & Designing I Can Think Up or Get Hold Of
  • Video Tutorials For Easier Learning That Holds Your Hand
  • In Depth Written Tutorials For Using Certain Advanced Ebook Template Designs Found Within The Members Only Section

I have already set up the section and will be working on getting things finished up and decide what I’m going to put inside there.

The basis of the membership site is to provide more useful content for exclusive members only that are willing to pay for the content.

Anyhow, if you’d like to see the test site, you can check it out below:

Again, it’s gonna take me a few weeks to get everything situated and in place, but in the meantime, if you have any feedback, please do comment here so I can take all your suggestions into consideration before going officially “live” with the members only section :-)
