About this service

Summary

I specialize in creating visually compelling book covers that capture the essence of your story. My adaptable illustration style can match any genre—from whimsical and lighthearted to dark and intense—ensuring your cover resonates with your target audience. Through a detailed process and transparent communication, you’ll be involved in every step, ensuring the final design meets your expectations perfectly.

Process

Concept Discussion : We discuss your book’s content, themes, and audience, and I create a moodboard with initial ideas and visual inspiration based on your feedback. Initial Sketches : I provide 2–3 rough sketches with different compositions and primary typography. After incorporating your feedback, I refine the chosen sketch into a detailed draft, including key design elements. This draft receives a second round of revisions. Clean Line & Rendering : I produce a polished, clean version of the cover with refined typography and design elements. I then add color, textures, and shading, ensuring all details are cohesive. Final Delivery : The final design is delivered in your preferred format (e.g., print-ready PDFs, InDesign packaged file) with all necessary specifications. Minor adjustments can be made based on your review.

J’ai fait appel à Auriane pour reformater mon brandkit avec la difficulté de devoir partir d’une base que j’avais préconçue et qui me tenait à cœur. Auparavant, j’ai passé du temps à trouver quelqu’un qui comprenne mon univers pour l’approfondir et le synthétiser sans trahir l’esprit initial. Auriane a relevé ce challenge dans un dialogue constant, avec sérieux, cœur et profondeur. J’ai été écoutée, comprise, accompagnée. Son travail de qualité a mis en valeur mon univers et mes créations 🙌🏽💯

I was urgently looking for an illustrator and Auriane was able to do exactly what I asked for. My events work by theme, and it is vital for the poster introducing the event to the public reflects the theme I am going for. Therefore, i need characters that need a detailed aesthetic, and match the idea I have in mind. Auriane did great, and also provided me with updates, moodboards, suggestions, and was professional in her approach. It was a collaboration that took away the usual stress.

Working with Auriane was such an amazing experience 🎨💫. She’s not just a talented graphic designer, but someone who really gets your vision and brings it to life in the most unique way. She designed the cover art for my singles *DIFFERENT* and *MAVI*. Her attention to detail and the way she listens and adds her creative touch made the whole process feel so personal. I couldn’t imagine a better partner for these projects! If you need someone who’ll really care about, Auriane is the one 🙌🔥!
