If you are seeking a professional looking eBook cover that grabs attention then look no further! Earlier this week I was fortunate to have my second eBook approved by Kindle, another kids book I created for my baby boy.

A to Z for Kids [Kindle Edition]

I feel the above book cover works well because it incorporates some of my illustrations, giving you an idea how the book will look inside. Lets face it, standing out on the bookshelf is pretty difficult, especially when more and more people self-publish, use social media and work extremely hard to promote their works.

As we live in a digital age, I would suggest using a digital designer for any eBook covers or artwork. Certain things such as load time are important, especially from a user and device storage perspective. As KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) point out during the eBook submission process, “A book is judged by its cover! Your cover image can have a direct impact on your readers…”

KDP also say, “For best quality, your image would be 1563 pixels on the shortest side and 2500 pixels on the longest side” so make sure you use these dimensions and save the final .jpg or .tif(f) file for web/mobile devices.

As a digital design company Tidy Design would be delighted to help with any eBook covers or book illustration work you may have. Please contact us today with some more information on your eBook requirements.

If you are looking for FREE paper tag images then look no further! A couple of weekends ago my lovely wife purchased a bottle of wine from our local French delicatessen shop in Southsea, it was on this bottle of red that I noticed this cool looking paper tag!

Download Paper Tag images

The reason I photographed and added the above tag images to our Tidy Blog is because we had to purchase a similar stock image many moons ago for a client website.

Please feel free to use these paper tag images for both commercial and non-commercial projects. All we ask in return is not to re-sell or distribute our work via any third party sites… If you like these totally free paper tags then please be a tidy dude and link back to this page via your website, blog or twitter page… Enjoy!

This weekend was pretty manic for Rosie, baby Isaac and I… Not only did we move office, assemble a few IKEA desks, buy new hardware, phones and office equipment etc… We also destroyed three old desks and several old computers, converting our home office into a playroom for baby Isaac. We even managed to squeeze in some time with friends, family and visit Southsea Kite Festival!

Sadly the new office is not ready just yet! BT messed up our business broadband order and until we have Internet and phone lines setup Tidy Design will be temporarily operated from our dining room table!

Yes, being in business is hard work and challenging at times… That said; this weekend was very productive and also very enjoyable! It is amazing how much you can squeeze into a bank holiday weekend, even with a baby and growing business!

We are feeling pretty pumped here and excited for the move… If you are a client of Tidy Design (old or new) then I look forward to welcoming you to our new office shortly… Stay tuned for more news and some pics :)

As in-house content writer at Tidy Design, I was delighted to accompany Mike on a visit last week to a new customer based in Hampshire, who is currently expanding his mobile disco business.

We began with a brief chat about his company during which he offered a fascinating insight into how the mobile DJ-ing business has evolved in recent years. He showed Mike and I photographs of a bespoke state of the art D.J. booth he is currently having specially manufactured. This and the superb array of equipment he has to offer his clientele provide unique selling points that instantly elevate his business above the major competition in his chosen line of work.

Listening carefully to our customer’s preferences regarding website design, we agreed with him that a modern yet elegant approach would be wholly appropriate for his chosen audience of wedding parties, corporate events and sweet sixteen parties.

Chatting over coffee we explored a number of ideas and it was agreed that we would put a logo and holding page together whilst the main site was undergoing construction.

Creating unique, bespoke websites tailor made to suit the specifics of our client’s business is just one of the areas we pride ourselves on at Tidy Design. We share our customers’ love of business and thoroughly enjoy developing new ideas and creating unique company identities, helping to raise brand awareness via logos, unique content and carefully orchestrated SEO campaigns.

Wishing our customer all the very best as he sets about launching his business, we shook hands and agreed to contact him shortly with our logo and brand designs for him to approve.

With another great customer welcomed to Tidy Design we look forward to working closely with him and wish him all the very best with his business.
