Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words! Thanks for watching.
Unbelievalby brilliant tutorial for using Kittl. Thank you so much for posting it. Like all your tutorials, I love the way you talk through the reasons for the design choices. Thank you! My favourite books: Historical fact/fiction and SF &F.
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! And thanks for sharing your favorite books!
absolutely stunning! its almost (ok it is) overwhelming how much choice we have in Kittl. i need to start at some of the beginner tutorials but im so thrilled to be a kittl subscriber. you make this looks so easy but its just gorgeous!
So happy to hear this and we're excited for you to jump into some of our other tutorials!

So happy it was helpful for you!
I've purchased both the skull generator and font bundles. Glad to see kittl its cool to try stuff out before purchasing stuff
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words :)
Yay! That’s great, I got into Kittl just for book covers, but figuring out how took me a while, this tutorial shows everything what I’ve been missing 😂. Apart from how to copy a front cover to a new project for wrap-around cover, unless I can just stretch the canvas size after I’m done with the e-book cover? I could also crop the full cover, but starting from just the front cover seems easier to keep the right size/not spill the design on the spine.
I'm glad this was helpful! And happy to hear you are using Kittl for Book Covers! So doing a full (front/back) book cover for Print typically includes having the entire cover in 1 artboard, so you would need a horizontal view (so to speak) of the entire book cover. Then on the left would be the back of your cover, and on the right would be the front of your cover. But this size and format wise, this is really going to depend on the printer's specifications. If you join our Discord community (link in the description), you can post your ongoing project in the #review channel and I can help you further :)
I just completed this awesome tutorial and I'm so happy with the result! 🤩My favourite types of books are urban fantasy. ☺
So happy to hear that!
This is one of the best tutorials I have seen.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
There are books that make you want to buy just the cover =D. Drew, what an amazing lesson and what a totally amazing design.

Soon I will be also working on a cover for a technical non fiction book on antique historical records ...The author loves the look of the Sandborn Map art....Maybe that will inspire the cover. You are great and Thanks again.😊
That is an exciting project! Can't wait to see what you do for a Sanborne Book Cover. I'm sure it will be amazing!

Thank you for the post ... I want to get time to get a chance to use my trial of your software ... Ben using Corel Draw for so many years, also I've down loaded some of your gear and found that Adobe CS-6 sometimes don't work. I have been able to use SVG's in Corel. Love this new approach to signage/labels ... side note I love this gold leaf images and your container collection ... again thanks...Ken
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoy using Kittl!
Wow, just wow!
Thanks for the kind words!
Beautiful cover, if possible could you do a video and explain what you are clicking on when you highlight areas please? I 've been playing with it but I'm missing some steps. thanks so much.
Hey there! Glad you liked the cover! I did a full demo tutorial with our good friend Juna over on his channel that might help you on how to use certain features. You can check it out here czcams.com/video/9PfGcKaRWbE/video.html :) Of course you can also use the chat feature in Kittl (or join our Discord community (link in the description) and ask questions there if you need more help!
Hi.Thank you so much for this video.I just discovered Kittl and love it.Your way of explaining things is so awesome .There is a request ,can you teach how to make a book cover like Fox and the star?
So glad you liked the tutorial! We will definitely be uploading more videos on book covers in the future. :)
@@Kittldesign .Thank you so much for your reply.I am enjoying more of your videos.
Excellent! Perfect tutorial for KDP! Maybe you can do more tutorials like that, that are specific to KDP? Thank you 💜
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! And you would like more tutorials specific to Kindle book covers?
@@Kittldesign yes - tutorials to make covers and interiors. For example - for coloring books and journals.
This is great! Do have tutorial on how to design paperback book cover in photoshop?
Hey there! Our tutorials are all strictly for how to use our own program: Kittl. We do not do Photoshop or Illustrator tutorials, but we do encourage you to give Kittl a try!
Amazing tutorial! One question though, are all fonts on Kittl free for commercial use? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! With our Pro or Expert subscriptions, you are allowed to use any Kittl designs for commercial use, including the fonts within Kittl. 🙂 You can read more on our licensing here: www.kittl.com/licensing
Wow, your tutorial is straight A++. But what about the back page and the space in between? My favorite is History.
Hey there! This book cover design was specific to the electronic version that you can upload (as an e-book), but we do have an updated tutorial on making a complete cover and interior book design coming very soon!
im a glass artist...can kittl composition be exported as vector svg to be burned from a laser or cut on a cnc router..?
i know i could trace the finished image but then whats the point of starting in kittl if a have to trace it in another program.
Hey there! Yes, with the Pro and Expert plans, you can export SVG and PDF project files. :)
Thank you for this great content. Can you give us practical lessons on design principles? Thanks again
Hey there! Sure thing, we will be adding design principle tutorials in the future. Stay tuned for next Tuesday where we will go over making and applying color palettes!
@@Kittldesign thank you sir
That's some dope ahh shit...bruhh I will try recreate it .
Hope you have fun designing in Kittl!
@@Kittldesign Yes! I absolutely loved it 💖. The fonts are so unique😍.
But I have a small problem.
When I downloaded it , it wasn't in good quality?
I want to upload it on kindle.
What should I do ?
Hi, thanks for this amazing tutorial! But if I want to publish my book on KPD, is it going to be an e-book? And for free? This will be my first time doing this, so sorry if the questions are dumb.
Hey there! This tutorial was specifically for making the cover that you might need for a KDP book. Typically, that looks like a printed book, but you can also have an e-book version. We will work on putting together a complete tutorial on how to do this.
@@Kittldesign thank you so much!
How do you make the 1st letter larger than the rest of the text? I’ve tried numerous different ways and nothing was working for me!!
Hey there. In this scenario we just used an uppercase glyph you can find over in the glyphs panel. You could also make 2 text boxes, and just have your uppercase letter as a separate larger text box.
Is it available for commercial purposes?
Yep! Check out the licensing here: www.kittl.com/licensing
I can't even start because custom size is for pro. The app itself and the tutorial are amazing, but at what use if I can't even start a project?
Hey there! You can start with any size tempalte that you click on to use. While you can't create your own custom size from scratch, you can click on a template, like our book cover, to utilize the size of that template. Hope this helps!
للاسف كنت اتمني ان ادخل واقوم ببعض التحرير ولكن لا املك pc املك فقط هاتف
Mobile support is coming soon!
If i use a picture from Pinterest won't i be accused for copyright???
We would suggest against using images directly from Pinterest that are other peoples work.
