Book Design and Imaging

when designing image wrap

I am ready to order a book, but want to use the new imagewrap. Do I use the soft cover templates of the hardcover with dustcover templates?

 My next question. How can I use one photo to wrap the entire book? It is not giving me that option. When I try it leaves the spine white. Please  help.

 

thanks am

afm,

As for your question about wrapping the entire book with one photo, I am not sure if I understand the question.

If you meant wrapping one photo the entire book “as in” dust cover jacket, no. It is not possible at this time. To do this, you can put in two photos, one for front and the other one on back. No image is possible to put inside “spine” area. In spine section of book, you can only put in text in there – like title of book and author/book maker’s name, etc.

Hope that helps, no?

Hi there

 afm, the imagewrap option doesn’t use the flaps of the normal dust-jacketed hardcover book, so just add images to the front and back covers as if you were creating a softcover book.  

As Brian mentioned, it’s not possible to put an image on the spine, you can only have text there. Some people might prefer to change the background color of the spine itself to match their predominant image color, but that’s up to you. I prefer to have a darker spine color to match darker images, a blue spine if my image is mainly blue, etc.

 ShannonC, to order an ImageWrap book simply select that option at the time you place your order.
