I've tried some pretty interesting image projects over the last year. I'm an author- of course I want to play with cover designs and characters and word designs. They are fun to manipulate and lets face it, a good inspiration for procrastination!
To further your procrastination efforts, I give you a way to create your own gift cards for your book. Click the link to find out how. I tried ideas of my own that are posted below as well. It was easy once I got the hang of it. (WARNING- Addictive to play with)

Create an author gift card
They look a little cheesy- but I think if I had an actual image of a printed cover- it might look pretty darn spiffy.
Would you create your own gift cards for your book?

Hi Summer - certainly an idea for extra marketing .. and yes I'd give it a try .. addictive is the challenge!
Cheers Hilary
Those are interesting. I'm going to have to investigate the further. Thanks :)
I'd be terrible at this and would just put lots of cats' images on any gift card I create! LOL! Take care

Not sure I'd have time to do it as I'd probably still have a full time job. But thanks for sharing how to do it.
NO - don't give me any more inspiration for procrastination. I seem to manage quite well. But you are showing me a world I never knew existed. If I were an author, I'd definitely create gift cards for my book.
Repaying your visit from AtoZ.
That's a cool idea!
I'm so not good at the visual stuff. That's one reason I want to go a traditional publishing route.
With Heather McCorkle's help, I created bookmarks for THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH with the cover art. They were beautiful. Sandra, my best friend, wryly pointed out I had made a bookmark for a book without any pages! :-)
An interesting marketing idea!
I would consider trying it. They look fun to design. I'm not sure that I'd have time to though. Simply Sarah
It's a great idea.
this is genius! I took a small business development seminar several years ago. The speaker was big on never letting any piece of material get to your potential market without a message on it.
This is a pretty cool idea. If I were selling a lot, I think that would be a great promotional thing to do.
