"The book explores how the good news of Jesus helps readers untangle the knots of sin and addiction. The hand, inspired by ancient Christian iconography, symbolizes God's hand, while the background texture comes from historic art archives. The colors and illustration are on-trend with Christian self-help books, but the ancient elements add uniqueness. I love incorporating Christian symbolism and artwork to connect modern readers to the rich history of the church and the timeless Gospel message."

"The novel is a mystery about good and evil, focusing on symmetry. A mysterious woman and two six-spotted moths are significant to the plot, so they had to be on the cover. To portray these themes I went with a high contrast color scheme in a vector art style, to give it a modern feel. The woman's obscured face and cutaway title effect are meant to convey there's much more going on under the surface in this story."

"I wanted the cover to reflect the emotional depth and raw honesty of the poems. The minimalist design, with its contrasting colours and simple lines, creates a sense of quiet intensity. It’s like a visual metaphor for the rollercoaster of emotions that readers will experience as they delve into the collection."

Of Friction

S.J. Lee

"The priority was to create a consistent series look across all three books, focusing on the protagonist's arm transformation as the story progresses. S.J. prefers minimalist compositions and wanted to pay homage to the Southern Reach series, which was a big influence. We used a gridded title treatment and a textured background interacting with the protagonist's hand, tied to the book's events. These core elements will be carried through the entire series."

"The book's short stories and Shannon's love for poetic writing called for a simple, artistic typographical approach. I researched market trends from top publishers and authors to align with the market while still standing out. The focus was on originality in concept, icon design, typography, and styling."

Stand Out Start Up

"I envisioned the cover as a bold and attention-grabbing design that would reflect the book's practical and actionable approach. The bold 3D typography, with its contrasting bright colours, creates a sense of energy and momentum, inviting readers to discover the secrets to building a successful start-up."

The Fruit You'll Never See

"The cover is a minimalist yet powerful design that reflects the book's themes of hidden pain and resilience. The image of two hands holding a delicate flower, partially obscured by darkness, symbolises the hidden secrets and emotions that the protagonist struggles to confront. The contrasting colours and stark typography create a sense of tension and mystery, inviting readers to delve deeper into the story."

I Had to Break Me

Nisha

Designed by Nuno M.

Available to hire ⏺

"Nisha’s poems are reflective and expansive, exploring a range of themes. To capture this, the cover design centers around the idea of an unfinished brushstroke, symbolizing openness and exploration. Multiple brushstrokes interact with the book's title, integrating organically with the text layout. The phrase “Break Me” in the title serves as the conceptual anchor, creating a bold and visually striking design that is both raw and arresting."

$ix Figure Tradesman

"I wanted the cover to be a visual representation of the book’s core message: that with the right tools and mindset, anyone can achieve financial success in the trades. The golden wrench symbolises the practical, hands-on approach, while the clean, professional design reflects the book’s focus on building a sustainable business."

The Climate Crisis

Miguel Angel Rondon Segura

Designed by Jonas P.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book discusses how fossil fuels, despite being maligned today, can aid in transitioning to a cleaner world. The goal was to create a clean, simple image with a strong graphic element. A blooming flower from an oil well was chosen to represent this idea, integrated with the title to highlight the climate crisis. A color gradient was used across the author's name, title, illustration, and subtitle, symbolizing the planet's temperature change while tying together the flower and oil well."

America Together in 2024

Kevin M Thelen

Designed by Richard L.

"This book is about America coming together and figuring out a path through the maze that is the current political climate of the “United” States. The design is meant to suggest exactly that."

The Salvation Equation

Christopher Thomas

Designed by Mark K.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover aligns perfectly with the book’s goal of helping readers understand the big picture of the Bible. The bold, puzzle-like title layout represents assembling complex ideas, such as the differences between the Jewish and Pauline gospels and the timing of the rapture. The clean design and blue-and-white text create a modern feel, making the cover approachable while standing out in a crowded market. It invites readers to explore the book's important message."

"I redesigned the cover to really reflect its message. It now features an image that symbolises personal growth and positive change—a light bulb with a beautiful and strong plant growing inside. Paired with bold, uplifting typography and vibrant colours, it gives off a sense of energy and optimism, inviting readers to embark on a journey toward a more balanced and fulfilling life."

"The book aims to elevate the reader beyond their current status quo. I illustrated this with torn paper revealing the sky, symbolizing potential. Many business/personal development books have clean, text-driven covers with serif and sans-serif fonts. I wanted to use that aesthetic while incorporating a strong image to convey the book's concept. A good cover should capture the book's essence, spark interest at first glance, and gain deeper meaning as the reader engages with the content."
