publisher or paint program

[Jimmy Clay]

I know almost knowing about graphic programs such as desktop publishing
programs and paint programs or photo programs. Which is the reason for this
very basic question; I need a little help to get started. I'm going to be
designing a book cover that will be eventually be print on a commercial
printer. It will have several graphics in it, which need to be set at 300
DPI, it will need and attractive title, a great background, it will need
text boxes with words on the back cover, etc. And it will be saved as a PDF
file. I'm not sure what the best program to use for something like this. Do
I need a publishing program or a paint program? Or something else? Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction.

Use whichever program you feel most comfortable with. There are people who
could ly out a book cover with Word and it would be lovely. (That person
would *not* be me however.)

Really what you need is Publisher 2007. That way you can make the
document the right size and have more control over the positioning of
the page elements. Then with Publisher 2007 you can save it as a PDF for
your printer.
