"Your Videos Absolutely Rock!" Nic, Even using it for as long as I have, I still learned a lot from your tutorials. What you have done is fantastic and people who don't know about RDP should watch you training. It is top notch even for a veteran like me. Mark Willigerod "Already Created My First Minisite" Nic, Already created my first minisite :-) Thank you for your clear, good and plain explanation. It's really a pleasure to watch the videos. Good Job. Regards, Henk, Netherlands

* Templates are blank - designs below are just to demonstrate what they look like with actual designs on them.
All the templates below were custom made by me. They're only available to members of Create Your Own Minisite Graphics (aka DIY Web Graphics Pro). You get two versions of each cover type - a normal resolution version for smaller monitors and slower systems, and a higher resolution version for even better results.
See how easy these covers are to edit - no actions to run, immediate previews, easy flat image editing, automatic perspective! Watch the video below (opens in a new window):
Click here to see an example of a standard resolution and higher resolution cover at full size. While these aren't 300dpi, they're more than big enough for web use, and you can see that the quality is impeccable.

As if providing all these templates aren't enough...
This principle is simple - text layout. With a strong text layout, you can turn even a plain white sheet into an eye catching design. With a poor text layout, you'll cripple any graphic, no matter how good your colors and imagery are.
Here's a simple test: on the left is the standard type of lazy and weak text layout you see on the Internet almost daily on so many ecovers. Can you turn this bland design into something professional and eye-catching by using the same six words and changing nothing other than the fonts, size and layout of the text?
I provide you with an exact example in the DIY Web Graphics Pro basics training manual - along with other similar practical examples. The difference this relatively simple change in text layout makes to the graphic above will amaze you - and may just be the missing link that transforms you into a capable graphics designer if you've failed before.
Remember how I told you I'm going to make it impossible for you to create poor looking graphics?
In DIY Web Graphics Pro you will find 10 powerful pre-made text layouts that you can adapt to virtually any text you want on your graphics. Watch the video below to see how I create a great looking header graphic in just over 4 minutes by using one of these pre-made layouts (link opens in a new window).
You also get 5 cover layouts like the one below, ready to copy and paste and adapt to your own text.
With this header template set it is truly impossible for you not to have a good looking website. Infinitely customizable, you can adapt these header graphics for any theme or niche by simply replacing the generic stock image of the woman with images that relate to your theme. Each set comes in 5 different colors.
And finally...
With these amazing shortcut buttons you can now create complex text effects with a single click. Watch the video below to see what I mean.
All the text transformations shown below were created with a single click of the mouse, as shown in the video!
As you can see from the ripped effect, I used one click super text on the graphics for this website. It works for real websites, and it looks awesome! These text effects cannot be found anywhere else - I created them exclusively from scratch for the Create Your Own Minisite Graphics product. These are just a few of the effects you'll have access to, and each of them is available in multiple colors.
Best of all, I include a video to show you how you can customize these effects to better suit your own needs.
To make absolutely sure you have the best possible chance of creating your own professional web graphics, I'm going to give you free access to my time for a full 30 days after purchase.
Here's what this means:
 |
Personal Critiques of the Graphics You Create Should you need advice on any graphics you create, just contact me and show your graphics to me. I'll give you personal advice on how to improve your graphics to aid your learning. You can ask for critiques as many times as you want during the first 30 days after purchase. All it takes from you is the guts to show me the graphics you've created!
|
|
Video-on-Demand If you find any of the current videos inadequate in any way, simply ask me to record another video for you in which I'll pay special attention to the areas you have a problem with. You can request unlimited extra videos at any time during your lifetime membership, as long as they all relate to graphics design with RealDraw Pro. All requested videos will be posted in the membership area so that everyone can benefit from them.
|
|
Unlimited Free Updates For Life Whenever there are improvements made to any of the product contents, you'll have access to it for free. This applies to updates and improvements on the current videos and new additions or improvements to the cover templates and text layouts. As already mentioned, you'll also have lifetime access to all additional videos recorded for other members. |
Here's a summary of everything you'll be getting:
|

|
|

|
One Click Super Text |
| The absolute fastest way to create great looking text effects. Click a button, and watch your text transformed into something truly stunning. | |
|
30 Days of Free Consultation, Including Video-On-Demand |
| For 30 days you have a professional graphics designer standing by to review your projects and give you tips on improving your designs. Also, you can request additional video training on any of the product materials at no extra charge at any time during your membership! | |
That's right! Pretty every other month I add something new to the package - since this product launched, I've made the following additions:
Wow...that's almost enough material for a whole new product. As you can see, the package keeps growing, and it doesn't cost you a cent extra once you join for a low one time fee.
There it is. All of this will cost you only $27.
REMINDER:The $27 is for everything I give you - the videos, the templates, the lifetime free additions and updates. What I cannot give you for free is the software. You need to purchase RealDraw Pro separately for just $55, just like you'd have to purchase Photoshop separately if you bought tutorials for that. However, you can download and use RealDraw FREE for 30 days, so there's still no risk in it for you. If after 30 days you decide you don't like it (I doubt it!), simply don't purchase it. |
You already know that having a single 3D ecover designed for you will set you back anything from $47 to $197 (yes, there are designers that charge $197 for a single ebook cover). You can now get your hands on all the tools you need to create your own professional minisite graphics for a small one time investment.

"Been Struggling With Adobe For Years" Hi Nic, Joanne Smith "Awesome!" Hi Nicolaas, Dina Jordan |
|

Before you order - IMPORTANT: |
|
 |
This product is not for people who are still finding their way around a computer. You need to be fully computer literate and be able to accomplish basic tasks like downloading and installing files, unzipping files, copying and pasting, organizing files into folders and browsing for files without help. |
|
The total download size for all modules of the product is around 350MB, broken into chunks of about 60-100MB each. A broadband or DSL connection is highly recommended. |
|
The videos are in standard Windows Media (WMV) format, therefore everything will run fine on Windows 98, ME, XP, 2000, Vista & 7. You can download the videos to your hard drive, you don't need to go through the annoyance of streaming them on the web. |
|
Minimum recommended system specs for proper operation - |
|
This is a training resource with template aids, so you will need to spend some time watching the training videos and practicing the new stuff you learn. |
|
"Stellar Product!" Hi Nic, The software you recommended - Real Draw Pro - is incredible and your videos make it so clear to understand it. I thought that I was chained to Photoshop to be able to do ebook covers and now you've shown me the light. By the way and I'm sure you already know this - your videos are the best out there and I have tried over 20 header/ebook cover programs - none of which could deliver the kind of results that Photoshop could. But like everybody else, you need half a lifetime and even more patience to fiddle around with Photoshop to understand it, on top of having to pay out big bucks for it. Your package and software recommendation is incredible!! Jeff Warhus |

Remember, you have absolutely no risk. I look forward to helping you create awesome graphics!
