      Hello Everyone. So I am planning on doing a children's book using createspace. I of course have questions and would love any suggestions you all may have to offer.

      • Has anyone here used createspace?
      • Did you use the Book Cover Template as the inside book template also?
      • How did your images look when your book was done?

      And of course anything else you you all could add would be wonderful.
      Thanks.

        @kai-satoshi I just used them. I would be happy to answer any of your questions, you can also message me istorymama@yahoo.com.
        The colors came out dark/washed out despite using CYMK, I had to manually adjust the colors by boosting the saturation about 30%, I really just guessed until we were happy with the proof. I manually set my sizes in photoshop by their specifications and moved them to indesign and saved as a pdf to submit. Their direct member service number is 866-356-2153 They were able to answer all my questions easily and clearly. Good Luck!

                  I plan to use CreateSpace in the future as well to make an art book. I would love to see everyone's examples of their final products and any tips they have when designing their first book.
