NDAS Mock-up Gallery

WARNING: NDAS does not participate in false advertising. (Example: no print mock-ups for an ebook-only release.)

Mock-up Codes

Each order of cover, layout or ebook service includes 1 free mock-up; i.e. 3 free mockups for 3 services, etc. Source file PSD not included.

Some allow primary objects rendered against a transparent background (PNG) useful with other graphics to make social banners, advertising, etc. These mock-ups are not marked in the gallery. If your chosen mock-up allows this, then you receive additional PNG-Object renders.

About the Codes

TYPE: PUB (Publication), DEV (Device), etc.
SUBTYPE & #: TP001 (Trade Paperback, Template 001) etc.

Requirements

These must be observed to maintain quality render(s); if uncertain, consult with us:

File Format: For covers designed elsewhere, delivery such as a PNG, JPG, PDF or TIFF file in full resolution. Notify us if this includes bleed/trim zone for print.
Resolution: For optimal results, 300ppi for print book mock-ups and 2048px vertical (preferred) for ebook device mock-ups. If your graphic is less than half of this resolution, template output may be reduced in dimensions to maintain visual quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay extra to have the mock-up master PSD file?: No. Mock-up templates purchased elsewhere for reuse do not include redistribution and/or resale rights. For mock-ups created at NDAS, we do not sell our master files.
Is spine thickness adjustable for “print” book mock-ups?: In most cases, No. Mock-up templates do not contain 3D objects; they have 2D linked layers with editable areas. In general, spine thickness cannot be changed.
I cannot find a mock-up for my print format; do you have others?: Maybe. For print covers created elsewhere—other than by N.D. Author Services [NDAS]—provide your format's front facing dimensions (width x height) plus spine thickness. While spine thickness cannot be changed in general, slight re-dimensioning of editable layers (in some cases) might be possible. We may also have mock-up templates pending that are not yet in our mock-up gallery.
Can I have versions with and without my text additions?: Yes. You will always receive a version without text. You can add alternative text in a graphics application of your choice.
