My First Book


My First Book

Gang,

As you know, I these days I’m finishing up my very first book on Photoshop brushes.

It will include 101 free sets that are already available on this site, FB Fan Page and GBG eZine. These 101 sets contain a total of  1598 individual brushes!

How about that! I never counted them before and yesterday when I did it for the first time I was really impressed. These Photoshop brushes will be on a DVD that will come with the book. Book will represent each of these 101 sets with one example of use and a short tut on how the example was done.

Anyways, right now I’m in stage of making a cover page.

Here is one idea:

Well, this is just a mock-up. There will probably be many revisions before it’s final layout.

OK. Let me know what you think and have fun creating!

  1. Love your work and your generosity in sharing. But I'm with Sandy. 101 recipes shound like a how to book if you already own the brushes. I know English is your second language, and it's a hard one to figure out the second meaning of words. I'm waiting for the actual book — I know I'll love it!!!…

  2. Amazing! I know this book is going to be wonderful! I love the brushes I purchased from you, and the freebies… everything in fact.

  4. SandyPie, thank you so much for your FANTASTIC feedback! That’s EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear! Great feedback. I just might go for “101 Recipe Examples and Ingredients” or something similar.

  5. Please know I’m a huge fan of your work, and you surely know a lot more than I do about layout and all that. I’m only saying anything because you asked, I’m not sure your titling accurately portrays your intent… I think a more accurate line would be with “101 Recipe Examples and Ingredients”, or the “ingredients to get you started”, something along those lines, otherwise just based on title (to me) it seems as though it’s just 101 examples of brushes not the actual brushes. (I hope I’m being helpful and not nit picky or snarky.) Maybe “101 Step by Step Recipes”, I don’t know since I’m not privy to what exactly is in the book. I just know what I perceived of the cover at first glance. Which unfortunately regardless of what the saying says, people DO judge a book by its cover. And I know from my years of customer service experience people don’t read anymore than they have to, so an more accurate descriptor would probably serve you better. :0) I love the idea of the book and can’t wait to check it out for myself. Good Luck!
