Book Cover Design
Custom covers designed to work as thumbnails, paperbacks, hardbacks, jackets, and store-ready product images.
Bespoke Illustration & Genre Typography
A book's cover is its primary shelf marketing asset. Our design curators analyze target competitors in your genre and formulate original cover art concepts. We handle the technical folds—calculating precise spine widths based on page count and paper weight—ensuring printing lines match bookshop dimensions perfectly.
We output all deliverables as print-ready PDF files, custom ebook JPGs, and full layered Photoshop source files.
- Spine Calculation: Custom templates formatted for exact printing page widths.
- Genre Typography: Customized fonts that signal formatting expectations to buyers.
- Back Jacket Folds: Layout structures mapping barcode, price, and blurb spacing.
A cover system, not just one image
Readers see your book in different places: tiny thumbnails, paperback spines, product pages, ads, and printed proofs. We design for all of those contexts.

Our Design Process
A book's cover is its primary visual statement. Here is how our designers build custom layouts matching your narrative theme.
Visual Strategy
We review reference cover art, typography layouts, and design styles that appeal to readers in your specific genre.
Spine Calculation
We measure the exact spine thickness requirements based on your book's paper type and final page count calculations.
Layout Drafts
Our designer creates three distinct visual concepts for the front cover layout, allowing you to choose the preferred direction.
Wrap Completion
We expand the layout into a full print-ready cover wrap, detailing the back copy, barcode frames, and spine margins.
