About this service
Summary
Crafting visually compelling and market-ready designs that captivate readers at first glance. My passion for storytelling through art ensures each cover I create not only reflects the essence of the book but also stands out on the shelves. With a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of current market trends, and a commitment to collaboration, I work closely with authors and publishers to deliver covers that elevate their books and enhance their market appeal. Let's work together to turn your literary vision into a stunning visual masterpiece.
Process
Once I receive your service request, you'll receive a link to my Client questionnaire in Google Forms or Tally. (Can be completed on mobile device or desktop.)
The Client questionnaire is meant to understand your vision and to establish the scope.
You will be asked to include any image asset files or links (like current logo, images you want to use, etc.). - Optional
Once your questionnaire is received and the scope is agreed upon, please sign the agreement.
You'll receive several images and be asked to PICK ONE to establish the direction.
You'll receive updates including any revision requests within the scope of work.
Once completed, you'll receive a compressed (*.zip) file of all of the assets agreed upon via WeTransfer.
The entire process from receiving the Client questionnaire will take 5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays).
