Design for eBooks

Hello,

Can somebody help me to design :

• Logo
• Letterhead
• Business card (for an individual, Manager etc)
• Poster as part of an Ad Campaign.

of eBook ? how could I put it or what inspirations could I have as well as how would this look good?

I have to do more than just one layout , I have to show multiple options of layout on the same project . I 6 weeks to do all and as well as I need to design not-boring logo for eBook.( for exam / assessment )

Any help would be really apriciate.

and as adition , making website layout , by coping other layouts and just slightly twikle them that's okay or its like copyright ?( in real world)

I think a key point is what is the e-book about? What do other related books look like?

As for the website layout, I think a lot of websites are looking the same these days. However don't rip off, especially a rival, you want the product to stand out.

I'd love to help on this but I'm pretty busy until December 12th.

Check out Adobe InDesign on G+ https://plus.google.com/111232610853738207090/posts. They offer quite a few free templates. If you can't find anything there, then GraphicRiver is also a great resource to check out too.

Adobe Illustrator ( but i can't use it really , I'm really new to it , but i have to i guess to make the shape not pixelate as the resolution need to be 300 and it need to be clear when i zoom in ) and Adobe photoshop that I'm more familiar with it .

I would recommend using InDesign if you have it. Look into the EPUB feautres and doing ebooks in InDesign for Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. Here is a great YouTube playlist from Terry White that has several tutorials on the topic. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2E89047F8956BB16

And the logo needs to be created from scratch?

The logo has to be created form inspiration like from pinterest or even google images. e.g.

I have to re-name ( it would be the best) and make a new logo for eBook.

I need to choose a name . eBooks Online. I have to include that name on the logo or do something like Facebook did if thats allowed not sure.

I have to add and image or just to make it some how fancy , not jus text . I have to look at images and tell them how i went to the point of creating that logo and why inspired me . So its like i take some part of this logo and this and put it together, and twinkle it.

I see. In that case, I would suggest checking out freepik.com and GraphicBurger.com. Free downloads on both, and that could really help jumpstart the creative process for you and give you some great inspiration.
