"The design for this cover was meant to enhance the vibrant, swirling colors of the illustration and ensure the title stands out while at the same time sharing the same flowing lines of the branches. The slightly uneven, hand-drawn style of the letters evokes the feeling of a story that is both magical and full of wonder."

Murder Between the Tides

Michael Campling

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."

Deadly Keyholes

Julie Morton

Designed by Matt D.

Available to hire ⏺

"This dark, gripping thriller required an Art Deco style to capture the book's era. I combined a graphic Art Deco pattern with a fearful eye peering through a keyhole, creating a stark and striking look."

Chosen To Coach

Bobby Goodwin

"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."

The Pain Habit

Drew Coverdale

Designed by George S.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book presents pain recovery as a step-by-step journey, so the design aims to depict incremental progress in a clear and motivating way. The text and iconography overlay a screened photographic backdrop, evoking digital UI design that modern readers easily identify with. I developed a dashed path weaving through the title typography, symbolizing the upward, albeit non-linear, progression of someone recovering from physical pain."

"The cover design centers on the main character, the winter setting, and the location's atmosphere. We aimed to reflect the serene mood through colors and typography. The character's hidden face adds intrigue as she walks forward. The design's originality comes from avoiding expected iconography and visuals. The lights in the trees and surrounding the dark figure draw the reader's focus to the central character, enhancing depth and drama."

"For this cover, the goal was to create a fun, messy design that's both vivid and age-appropriate. The illustration needed to be playful yet distinct in style. It was necessary to have a bold font that was practical for picture book but also that hinted at what the book was about. I used a dynamic font with suitable illustrations around the title, but to ensure they didn’t distract from the font."

Only Dead Fish Go With The Flow

David Swenson

Designed by Peter S.

Available to hire ⏺

"For a memoir about breaking life's rules, I believed the cover should do the same. I wrapped the memoir's long subtitle around the cover image like a frame, choosing a literal depiction of a fish swimming against the pack. To emphasize this, I colored the contrary fish a rebellious red, while the others are blue. The fish-against-the-flow theme extends across the back cover and spine, with a dotted red line indicating the nonconformist fish's eccentric trajectory."

The World, Silently Spinning

M.B. Maskovas

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."

Begin Again

"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

Adam Bender

"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."

Concord

Don Zancanella

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."

Mark Guerin

"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."

The Vicar Takes A Wife

Victoria Kovacs

Designed by Patrick K.

Available to hire ⏺

"A sort of ‘Jane Austen goes West’ narrative this book needed to have a slightly humorous feel without being overtly funny. The tension between the two characters - a prostitute and a vicar - in Texas in 1877 is shown with the relationship between the various incongruous images, and the toned-down palette and typographic styling help to give a sense of the old photos of the period."

Joyce Major

Designed by Steve M.

Available to hire ⏺

"I try to convey the essence of the story or capture a moment when designing a book cover. The idea of the main characters hand in hand with the Orangutan gives a connection of love and protection which echoes throughout the book. The typography, colour and style gives a nod to the old adventure books and encapsulates the journey they are on."

The Multiplier's Mindset

Cynthia Anderson

Designed by Jonathan L.

Available to hire ⏺

"Given the book's title, I aimed to illustrate the concept of multiplication, inspired by Jesus' parable in Matthew 13:23 about the seed planted in good soil multiplying. The design has a rustic, earthy feel, fitting the agricultural metaphor. The background texture, distressed title font, color scheme, and unique divider between the title and subtitle all work together to create a strong, unified design."
