Daughters of Men
Designed by Nada B.
Available to hire ⏺"This book blends contemporary women’s fiction, literary, speculative fiction, with science fiction and paranormal elements. The author wanted an intriguing, modern, and fresh approach. I chose a quirky mix of photographic and illustrated images to highlight the surreal elements while grounding the story in a relatable world. I took an abstract approach, combining characters, places, and surreal elements to create an atmosphere that invites readers into the story's unique mood."

Murder Between the Tides
Designed by Patrick K.
Available to hire ⏺"This was one of six murder mystery covers where a strong sense of place is central to the narrative. Each cover features a key landscape element and conveys a feeling of ominousness and foreboding. For this seaside hotel setting, I emphasized isolation by making the building small within the wild landscape. The birds add both perspective and drama, enhancing the eerie atmosphere."

The World, Silently Spinning
Designed by Matthew R.
Available to hire ⏺"The aim of this design was to evoke a sense of quiet malevolence and dread, capturing the tone of the prose. We wanted to hint at the horror genre without resorting to a garish or overt design. The stag horns, while suggesting their source, also serve as abstract shapes. I used ample negative space and ensured the design interacted with the typography, creating a symbiotic effect rarely seen in traditional horror covers."
Designer: Danna M.
Begin Again
Designed by Danna M.
Available to hire ⏺"For this cover, we started with the mountain range the author requested and expanded from there. The stormy sky and rainbow symbolize a new beginning emerging from a rocky past, with a gritty overlay to reflect the struggle in finding balance. We used clean, tracked-out sans serif text, popular at the time, contrasting with the texture of the sky to create a unique feel. I love integrating texture from the image into the text to unify the design."

Utopia PR
Designed by Bailey M.
Available to hire ⏺"Set in a satirical future, Blake Hamner's PR chaos for an inept president and his deadly mechanical hounds inspired this design. I depicted the novel's absurdity by using a happy sticker to mask the terrifying dog’s face. I aimed for originality with this book cover, combining a political propaganda-style illustration with humor.The illustration style and colors are inspired by Soviet propaganda, and I combined various typographic elements to reflect the constructed nature of the storytelling."
Designer: Peter S.
Concord
Designed by Peter S.
Available to hire ⏺"For this historical novel set in Concord, New Hampshire, during the time of Emerson and Thoreau (both characters in the novel), I thought, 'Since the setting is the main character, why not depict it?' I searched for period prints and found an engraving that I enhanced by reinforcing the black lines and adding color. The title font, Helsing, offers a hand-drawn, period look with a touch of wit that suits the story. I finessed the sweeping descender in the capital 'R' to preserve its charm."

Designed by Jason A.
Available to hire ⏺"The sense of place was important to the book, based on the author's childhood. We used Google Maps images of a large estate as a starting point to highlight the theme of wealth disparity, which was a key theme in the book. The unusual rendering of the trees and the slightly off-color palette add a unique touch to the cover."
Designer: David P.
The Order of Nature
Designed by David P.
Available to hire ⏺"This novel tells of the struggles of being a gay man in Gambia. The profile suggests the main character and the pattern provides context. I looked at West African textiles for the appropriate color palette and geometry."
Designer: Mark T.
Out of the Night
Designed by Mark T.
Available to hire ⏺"This design came about from a discussion with the author on establishing a visual brand for a series of supernatural books. The design style was classically restrained. The vector-illustrated imagery echoed the ghostly dreamlike quality of much of the story."
Designer: Micaela Alcaino
Designer: Vanessa M.
The Twin Flame Game
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire ⏺"The cover features a bold and eye-catching design that captures the book's humorous and adventurous vibe. The image of a suited man alongside a map with location icons of women symbolises the protagonist's quest to find his soulmate. The vibrant colours and playful typography add to the excitement, inviting readers to dive into this unconventional and entertaining adventure."
Designer: Mark T.
Daughter, Disappeared
Designed by Mark T.
Available to hire ⏺"The book is a sometimes-harrowing account of a mother’s search for her lost daughter in Tunisia. Within the book is a pivotal scene of an accident at sea. The cover illustrates that: a person clawing desperately upwards toward a small fishing boat, as they sink lower in the Mediterranean sea. This helps set’s a tone for the book: threat, search, survival."
