Summary
FAQs
What exactly is "conceptual artwork" for a book cover?
Conceptual artwork goes beyond simply depicting a scene from your book. It focuses on visually interpreting your book's deeper themes, abstract ideas, or core emotions. The aim is to create an intriguing, thought-provoking image that symbolizes your story's essence, rather than a literal illustration of a specific moment.
Why don't you include text layout or spine design?
My expertise lies in creating high-quality, impactful illustration artwork itself. Graphic design elements like text layout, font selection, precise spine measurements, and ISBN/barcode placement require specialized skills and software often handled by a dedicated book cover designer or your publisher's pre-press team. This allows me to focus purely on delivering the best possible artwork for your cover.
What file formats will I receive for the final illustration?
You'll receive high-resolution TIFF files (300 DPI, CMYK converted) for premium print quality, along with high-resolution JPG and PNG files for versatile use. You'll also get web-optimized JPG and PNG versions for e-books and online promotion.
Can I get the original working file, or a Photoshop file?
Yes, upon request, I can provide the layered working file in Clip Studio Paint format. I can also convert the final illustration into a layered Adobe Photoshop Document (.PSD) file if you or your publisher needs it for further graphic design or pre-press work.
How many revisions are included?
This service includes 2 rounds of revisions to ensure the final illustration perfectly matches your vision and the conceptual direction we establish.

Parnoshree was a Digital Artist at The ArmChair Journal. We needed an artist who could understand complex arguments and represent them visually. Parnoshree had a deep vision in her work. Whether for social commentary, film analyses, or book reviews, her adaptive style resulted in high-quality, quick, and impactful art, enhancing our writings and perfectly echoing with the audience. Highly recommend her for any artworks because of her independent value-addition, diverse applications & creativity.
