Book Cover Design

An effective and compelling book cover woos, courts, and compels a reader to consider your message. It says “Pick me up,” “Read me,” “Ponder me,” “Buy me.”

One study surveyed 300 booksellers (half independent bookstores and half from chains) and found that reports that seventy-five percent identified the look and design of the book cover as the most important component. They agreed that the jacket is prime real estate for promoting a book**.

That’s a staggering fact. Only an experienced designer can create a cover that understands these marketing issues.

There are many options available to help me a stunning and yet affordable book cover, no matter what your budget is. One option is to choose one of the hundreds of thousands of stock photography images available

Some people are set on custom illustration and i can help with that as well.

I will help you look for just the right image to match your project or, if you already have a picture in mind, I will work with that at an even more reduced cost.

The covers on this page, for instance, were designed with stock photography and graphic manipulation to get just the right look and feel.

In addition to graphic design, well-designed typography will take your cover to the next level of professionalism. When we're done, your book cover will meet and even exceed the same quality

standards as those offered by big publishing houses.

I provide each of my clients with numerous initial image concepts and work with each client until satisfied.

I would be happy to speak to you about how to present the best image for your message.
