We analyze bestselling covers in your specific subgenre, identifying visual patterns that resonate with your target audience. This research phase includes color psychology mapping, typography trend analysis, and competitive positioning to ensure your cover stands out while meeting reader expectations.
Based on your book’s themes, target audience, and positioning goals, we develop 3-5 distinct creative directions. Each concept includes typography treatment, color palette reasoning, and visual metaphor selection that aligns with your story’s emotional core and commercial objectives.
Your chosen concept gets refined through multiple revision rounds, with careful attention to readability at thumbnail size, spine calculation accuracy, and color profile consistency across print and digital formats. Every design element serves both aesthetic and conversion purposes.
Final deliverables include print-ready files (front, spine, back), ebook-optimized JPEGs, audiobook squares, and promotional mockups. We also provide comprehensive brand guidelines that enable consistent visual identity across your author platform and marketing materials.
Post-delivery support includes technical assistance with platform uploads, promotional mockup creation for social media, and conversion tracking guidance. We monitor industry trends to ensure your cover remains competitively positioned as market preferences evolve.
