This is a very short screencast video of me creating the book cover for my new book titled “The Sell Sheet”. I have received a lot of positive feedback about the design of this cover. So, I made this video as a fun way to give a little insight into how I created it.
I use Adobe Illustrator to create the cover, and then at the end I covert it into a pdf using Adobe Acrobat. Please give it a thumbs-up if you liked it. Thx.
