I came across Pixmac when I was searching for images for my book cover if I chose to self-publish. I’m, unfortunately, not a graphic designer and really don’t have the payroll to pay someone with that talent to design a cover.
So, I just thought I’d share this unique website for those of you who are looking to self-publish your book and need an image for your front cover. The prices are very reasonable ranging from .92 to $6. You can also join and purchase credits to use toward the images, but the cool thing is you don’t have to register to download an image.
You do need to have a little knowledge to understand the size and dimensions and dots per inch (dpi), depending on which self-publishing company you go with. I know that CreateSpace with Amazon requires and image of 300 dpi.
If you have any questions, there is a great help section with frequently asked questions or contact information. They literally have millions of images and it’s worth the time to check them out. It’s as simple as typing in your search in their search engine.
