All covers are custom-designed according to author vision, book content, and my design aesthetic, with the goal of creating a professionally executed final product. My covers encompass a full range of fiction and non-fiction.
I confer with the author about graphics, colors, styles, fonts, tone, and anything else that the author envisions.
Once we agree on the ideas, I manipulate graphics to suit the overall design. I do not use standard stock images as presented. I take parts of images, merge them with parts of other images, apply a variety of effects, and create an original and unique design for the cover.
My cover images wrap from the front through the spine to the back. Here’s an example:
