Plan the book cover concept. Study books related to your topic to find features you like. Pick any of your own graphics, photos or logos to use. Choose a color scheme, and develop a basic design for how your book cover will look. Decide if the book will have a traditional book spine or a spiral, like a manual might have.
Review an online book creator service for book cover generators. If you'll be publishing your book through a service such as CreateSpace, you can use its book cover generators to design your cover. Look at the features offered in your service to learn about the book cover design tools it offers.
Choose an online book cover generator that fits your needs and budget. If you're creating your book yourself and not using a service, you can use a free program like MyECoverMaker, which offers limited designs, but enough options to create a unique cover. Or you can try a paid option by upgrading MyECoverMaker or using ECover-Go, which offers not only ebook cover designs, but a host of other graphic and ebook formatting options.
