Second, the production concept and process
Book cover design: firstly, create a new image file, then set the layout size according to the actual situation, then plan the layout with reference lines, draw a rectangular color block to decorate the cover, add materials as the main body of the cover, then add shadows and relief effects to beautify the title (the relief effect is suitable for CorelDRAWX4 version), and then use text tools to input the cover author and other related contents. Next, according to the actual size of the book, plan the size of the back cover and spine, add materials similar to the cover style, then input the title and related publishing information, and finally make a three-dimensional rectangle, group the cover elements, and then paste them on the three-dimensional rectangle.
