GIMP Book Covers for Self-publishing

Course details

Learn the GIMP From Scratch

In this course I'll show you how to use the free Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) to produce professional looking, high quality book covers. This course is suitable for absolute beginners and explains how to install all required tools and resources and then how to use those components to produce a unique, professional looking, and high quality book covers.

Note that I demonstrate the use of the GIMP on a PC running Microsoft Windows. If you're a Linux or Mac user, the GIMP is also available to you, I just can't provide a demonstration of how to install and use the product on your platform. Otherwise, this course should be usable by GIMP users on any platform.

Learn to Create Stunning Book Covers and More

This course uses a combination of presentation slides and screen capture to show you how to use the GIMP to produce book covers specifically. Why focus on book covers? Because we only need to know the basics of using the GIMP to accomplish our purposes. Don't worry, you can still create amazing images (e.g. web, book covers, udemy logo) using the basics of the GIMP.

Expect to spend several days to weeks digesting all the information provided in this course.
