Is there any method for wrapping a design into a book cover form (3D-like)?
I mean wrapping a single rectangular design to cover & spine & back.
I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS5.

Just checking: you mean you already have a flat design and want to show how it'll look on the finished item?– e100Mar 27, 2011 at 12:56

If your design is raster, AI won't allow you to distort it. You'd have to accomplish this in PS. However, if your design is vector, you can use this technique:
- Select one or more objects.
- Select the Free Transform tool .
- Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective.

1There is a similar method available in CS5 which is the perspective drawing tool.– leugimMar 27, 2011 at 5:39
