Cover Design

Make an Impact

Your cover for a book is the first thing readers see, so making the right impression is essential. A strong cover design needs to be eye-catching, genre-appropriate, and work in all formats. Often online, your thumbnail book cover image will be viewed at a small size. It must have an impact whether is is seen as a thumbnail image or as the full paperback cover.

For print books, the design process also includes creating a complete cover spread, with a professional layout for the back cover and spine. The final print files must be the correct size, factoring in page count to determine spine width.

Whether you need custom illustration or a sleek, modern design, we provide affordable design solutions to bring your vision to life. Imagine that – a book cover that truly stands out!


Designing a cover goes through a process. The starting idea may come from the Author, or it may come from the designer. It might come from reading the book or it might be a collaboration of ideas or a single moment of inspiration.

Making a cover that fits the genre is important and a lot of details are involved with this.
