With free tools (inkscape) a repeating pattern that modifies only colour, title and blurb, you can achieve a heck of a lot on a shoestring. Colour branding is almost essential when you're compiling a matching set of covers and you don't have a lot of money to spare. Here's some I've been working on (incomplete, but they'll give you an idea what is possible without breaking the bank on software and the like)

The first image becomes a template for the rest and this saves you heaps of time in the future when all you have to do is go in and change colour, blurb and title. The originals are also produced in vector formats that expand and contract to any size without degradation.
