I would like to make ebook covers, like the ones attached, and get or make all the fancy 3D looking fonts. Which product should I get? Thanks

Correct answer Daniel E Lane

I've done a slew of book covers. Did them all in Photoshop. Before you start making them though, make sure if the book will only be an e-book, or if it will go to print as well at some point. Different specs for them both, and different color spaces (RGB for e-book and CMYK for print) But I did all of them in Photoshop. The font work might be a bit easier and possibly better to do in Illustrator though. It's a better place to do the stylization of the fonts. And if they are ever needed in larger format for something, you would have them in a vector format.
