What the bookmark mockup does

Bookmarks are the swag authors give away most: at signings, in preorder packs, slipped into every copy they post. Showing one off usually means photographing a stack of them, or a flat mockup that looks nothing like a bookmark in a book.

In DudeCovers, make your book, then pick a bookmark under Book. Card puts your bookmark into it: add the front of your bookmark design (a 2 × 6 inch card) and it stands up out of the top of the closed book, a little in from the front, the way you'd leave it. With the book open, it lies across the right-hand page. No design yet? We make a matching bookmark from your cover: a small copy of the front on the cover's own colour.

Ribbon puts a satin ribbon marker in instead, in red, navy, green, gold, black or cream: it hangs out of the bottom of a closed hardback, or runs down the gutter of an open one and over the edge onto the table. Both work on a plinth, in a video of the book turning, and at any trim and binding.

Straight answers.

What size should my bookmark design be?
The front of a standard 2 × 6 inch bookmark: an image about three times as tall as it is wide, at least 600 × 1800 pixels. A squarer image is cropped to that shape, from the middle.
Do I need a bookmark design?
No. Without one we make a matching bookmark from your cover: a small copy of the front cover on the cover's own colour.
Can I show the back of the bookmark?
The card shows your design on both sides for now, so whichever way the book turns you see the front.
Does it work in the scenes?
The bookmark shows on one book on a plain backdrop, closed or open, on a plinth or in a video. In the shelf and photo scenes the book shows without it for now.
Is the bookmark free?
You can try it on the canvas for free; the export then carries a small preview tape. A clean export is part of Pro (£45 a year, £5 a month, or £149 once for Lifetime).
