The Big Shot Trader

Mitesh Desai

Designed by Driss C.

Available to hire ⏺

"The Big Shot Trader is all about evolving in a highly competitive, stressful industry. The idea was to use a slightly over-the-top composition to emphasize the 'clog in the machine' feeling of the main character. Balancing an overwhelming corporate blue with vibrant yellow details helped the cover stand out without losing the familiarity of current market trends. Incorporating the title into the decor is often a great way to make a design truly unique."

Question Mark: The Freshman Experience

Shannon Damuth

Designed by Matt D.

Available to hire ⏺

"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."

Henry Knows Best

Emily Learing

Designed by Denise T.

Available to hire ⏺

"Henry is self-centered and needs to change if he wants friends. To convey this, I designed a cover showing him holding the ball to himself in a team game. Moreover, all elements of the illustration and fonts are centered around Henry, emphasizing that it's 'all about him.' To make the cover stand out, I focused on the color palette, legibility, clear communication, and delivering a strong message."

Uncertain Justice

K. Ryan Kerry

Designed by Nejc P.

Available to hire ⏺

"For Uncertain Justice, I designed a cover that reflects the novel’s blend of political intrigue, espionage, and legal suspense. The bold typography and striking composition give the cover a modern edge while staying true to the visual language of the legal thriller genre. Dramatic lighting and a tense color scheme help convey the book’s high stakes and complex themes, making it instantly recognizable to readers of the genre while still standing out on the shelf."

Model Village

Leo A. Murphy

Designed by Nejc P.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is a dystopian novel about a shadowy authoritarian figure terrorizing a small Cotswold village. The cover needed to balance the village's cozy atmosphere with the looming fear of change. Inspired by Olly Moss and vintage Penguin covers of 1984, I used distinct color, shapes, and composition to convey the dystopian themes. A subtle visual easter egg is hidden in the design: the eye color on the cover matches that of the main character, adding a personal touch to the artwork."

Luna's Walk During April Showers

Leslie Salazar

Designed by Aline B.

Available to hire ⏺

The cover portrays Luna joyfully exploring nature on a rainy day, capturing the book’s theme of finding beauty in rain-soaked surroundings. My signature whimsy and cuteness are evident in the detailed, nature-focused backgrounds, appealing to both young readers and their parents. The umbrella with the book's title adds a charming touch, symbolizing protection and enjoyment during a rainy day’s adventure while making the title stand out in a cute way.

MOFETTE JONES vs. CYRUS BECK

Jim Burgin

Designed by Joe M.

Available to hire ⏺

"For this title, the author wanted a rough, almost cinéma vérité feel to the cover since it deals with the ugliness of tabloid journalism. While using vintage elements like newspapers, etc., can sometimes feel trite and overly nostalgic, I tried to thread the needle by keeping the design bold and graphic while also being restrained and impactful. I believe I was successful, since the cover definitely grabs attention."

The Storm, The Calm and The Growing

Anna A. Blue

Designed by Nejc P.

Available to hire ⏺

"For The Storm, The Calm and The Growing, I aimed for an authentic, raw cover to reflect the story’s tone. I printed, tore, and photographed pieces of the title, and handwrote the author’s name to create a personal, intimate feel. The cover embodies the book’s themes: enduring hardships, finding calm in acceptance, and growing stronger. The tactile, torn typography and natural imagery evoke the emotional depth of the romance while visually representing the protagonist’s journey."

In the Joshua Sea

M. Stillman

Designed by Barış Ş.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover art aims to visually encapsulate the author's deep connection to Joshua Tree National Park. The challenge was to harmoniously merge the desert landscape with oceanic elements, striking a balance between these contrasting environments. By combining unexpected imagery—such as a whale amidst the desert and Joshua trees—the illustration becomes both captivating and intriguing."

Beyond the Border

Nicole Rogers

Designed by Owen G.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is an honest memoir of one man's experience through the Korean War and the country's divide to the modern day. The cover, split in half, reflects both the North-South Korea divide and the author's contrasting life experiences. The design symbolizes the divide between past and present, young and old, positive and negative. A serif font grounds it as a serious memoir, while painterly tones and hand-drawn elements add a sensitive, human touch, balancing contrast without being too harsh."

Stand Out Start Up

Allyson Letteri

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"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

Gail Brenner Nastasia

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"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."

The Case of the Missing Cheese

Lisa C. Mitchell

Designed by Caitlin B. A.

Available to hire ⏺

"For this Middle Grade, the author and I wanted to find the right balance of whimsy and mystery 一 nothing too "kiddy" and nothing too scary. The carnival is an important setting in the book, and this audience usually responds well to character-based covers, so I put together a narrative image that included enigmatic body language with slightly discordant but vibrant colors that aligns with the genre while still intriguing the reader to find out more."

Blue Van Winkle

Nathaniel David Knox

Designed by Hugh C.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is about a multiple perspective family saga with elements of crime, suspense, and romance. The different windows show each character and hints at aspects of the narrative without overtly giving anything anyway. Working closely with the author who wanted a cover that is minimalist and retro but with contrast and texture - the design is inspired by futurist and Art Deco graphic design and the limited sombre colour palette conveys melancholy, hope and a tad bit of danger."

Gingered

Ryan G. Murphy

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"I wanted the cover to really capture the book's fun and heart-warming vibe, reflecting the author's personal journey. The playful typography and bright colours create a sense of excitement, and the photo of the author as a ginger-haired kid sets the stage for the relatable and entertaining stories inside. Overall, the design invites readers to dive into his nostalgic and humorous adventures."

"I wanted the cover to be a whimsical and eye-catching representation of the book’s unique blend of Irish charm and Hollywood dreams. The image of an Oscar trophy, adorned with a traditional Irish leprechaun hat, immediately sets the tone for the story. I believe this cover effectively communicates the book’s light-hearted and aspirational tone, inviting readers to join the protagonist on his unforgettable journey."

"This cover invites readers to follow a child on his quest, encouraging discovery through the story. We walk with him through medieval streets filled with characters and background micro-stories. The street-level perspective draws us into his adventures. The dark tower in the distance, symbolizing danger, is strategically placed and interwoven with the title's letters, adding a hook to spark interest in the story."

Yours in Amsterdam

Reyna Starlette

Designed by My Lan K.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover highlights the two main characters with subtle elements that reveal the story's setting in Amsterdam in a style that aligns with contemporary romance trends. I added soft textures to the characters' clothes for depth, and a script font for the title evokes a handwritten letter. To hint at the plot, I included a bruise on the female character’s knee, reflecting how they meet after she falls off her bike, and used expression, pose, and outfits to showcase their personalities."

Where The Stars Hide

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."

A Cold Night for Alligators

Viggy Hampton

Designed by Nuno M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The hand-drawn, distressed calligraphy on this cover conveys a sense of danger and primal energy. The rawness of this approach, combined with the looming red alligator tail, suggests an untamed, suspenseful story. The tail runs diagonally across the cover, creating dynamic movement that complements the title. Its curve guides the viewer’s eye from the upper right to the lower left, pulling the reader into the action, as if they’re being drawn into the alligator's grasp."

$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."

Toska

Elizabeth C Cabrera

Designed by Danna M. S.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is about a woman navigating adulthood. We used florals to symbolize her 'blooming beautifully' into it, with the crack representing the challenge of 'keeping it together.' The heavier serif title font, common in fiction, is balanced by the unique cover image and florals winding through the text. The contrast between the woman's cracked face and the beauty of the florals adds a unique, fun element. I also used texture in the title for cohesion and chose an unexpected title color."

The Tears of Apphat

Alain Louis Camus

Designed by Arjan v. W.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author and I aimed to give this book cover a cinematic feel, like a movie poster, full of atmosphere while showcasing the main character. The story is set in a fictional desert world with Arabic influences, which is expressed mainly in the typography. The subtle sacred geometry in the sky references the magical aspect of the story. These geometric designs reappear at the start of each chapter, creating a cohesive and unified design throughout the entire book."

Beyond The Moon

Catherine Taylor

"The cover features a stunning image that captures the book's themes of time travel and love. The beautiful portrait of the woman set against a war-torn landscape adds a layer of mystery. The overlapping elements and contrasting colours symbolise the connection between the past and present, inviting readers to dive into this captivating story."

"The approach for this cover was to blend two distinct worlds—above and below water, reflecting the cat's everyday life and his adventure destination—in a playful yet serene way. The goal was to create an atmosphere that highlights the cat's curiosity and the underwater scene, with an environmental theme. Textured typography ensures the title is always legible while being playfully integrated into the illustration. Also, the contrasting colors capture kids' attention and make the cover dynamic."

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."

KT Cornelio

Designed by Richard L.

"Awoken immerses readers in the lives of highly sensitive characters, diverse in age, race, gender, ability, sexuality, and even species. The novel follows parallel timelines, and the visual solution was to use the title letters as canvases, displaying fragments of these scenes while forming one unified character when viewed as a whole. Straddling the line between sci-fi and literary fiction, the design reflects this duality, capturing the novel's complexity and depth."
