    Trophy icon Inspiring KDP Cover Design
    6 days left

    I’m preparing to publish “Falling in Love with Innocence” by Dr. Guerda Nicolas and Fritz Reme and I need a full wrap cover—front, back, and spine—that arrives press-ready for Amazon KDP as well as a separate eBook version. The book explores openness, vulnerability, trust, and emotional healing, presenting innocence as the brave choice to love wholeheartedly. The design therefore has to feel hopeful and inspiring rather than naïve or childish. Please build a concept that instantly communicates that uplifting tone while remaining professional and contemporary. I’m open on imagery and colour palette, provided the final look reinforces sincerity and emotional warmth. Typography must keep the title and both author names prominent and legible at thumbna...

    My rhyming picture-book follows three sibling ducklings and gently explains that, although one little duckling dies, the love the family shares never fades. It is written for very young listeners—around three to five years old—so every spread must feel safe, warm and hopeful while still honoring the reality of grief. The manuscript is very nearly complete; what I need now are full-colour, cartoon-style illustrations in a soft, pastel palette that carry the emotions of the story: playful moments on the pond, tender family scenes, and a final sense of peace. I’m picturing expressive characters, simple backgrounds and a cohesive look from cover to final page that invites children to linger on each rhyme.

    Looking for a book cover artist! Strong preference to someone that has experience creating (or would be willing to attempt) a detailed statue before a gray background. Pure photographic realism is not necessary, but some degree of realism is preferred. More detailed aspects of that statue can be revealed personally, but a rather bland example will be attached. Do not pay it too much credence, as you will have considerable creative freedom outside of 3 key points. Requirements: - Genre: Science Fiction - Cover Style: Photographic - Mood: Dark and Mysterious Ideal Skills and Experience: - Experience in book cover design - Proficiency in photo editing software - Strong portfolio with dark thematic work - Creativity in concept development Please submit your portfolio with your bid.

    In need of a book cover for my dark mystery novel. Prefer more abstract looking covers than anything else—the more unique your art style is, the more interested I’ll be. Also have a penchant for vintage book covers, particularly from the 60/70s. Objects/characters from the novel can be depicted if you want, but it’s not necessary. Details of the story can be discussed through dm. I would simply love a book cover that stands out from everything else being published today. Prefer less color to more. Don’t send me an automated response. Real artists only. I can tell AI from real art, so don't even bother sharing your portfolio if you have that in there.

    I’m putting together a picture book for children aged 3–6 that celebrates simple acts of kindness through the eyes of child protagonists. To bring the story to life, I need a series of hand-drawn illustrations rendered in a whimsical hand-sketched style, finished with either watercolor washes or colored-pencil textures—whichever medium best preserves a soft, story-time charm when scanned for print. I don’t want the illustrations to look digital or cartoonish. The manuscript runs 17 interior pages plus a cover, and each spread calls for a full-bleed scene featuring children interacting with one another and their surroundings while doing acts of kindness or doing something thoughtful. Expressive faces and soft playful colors are key; I want young readers to feel war...

    My upcoming fiction novel needs a striking, professionally finished cover that immediately signals mystery. I picture a mood-setting landscape—fog-laden cliffs, shadowy forests, or any scenic visual that stirs intrigue—rather than character portraits or abstract graphics. Rich textures, carefully balanced typography, and a palette that whispers suspense will all play a role. Please handle the full wrap (front, spine, back) and supply an ebook-optimized version alongside print-ready files (300 dpi, CMYK, bleed included). The title treatment should remain editable; layered PSD or AI is ideal, with high-resolution JPEG/PNG exports for previews. Share a brief note on your concept, a timeline, and two or three portfolio pieces that show you can capture atmosphere through landscape...

    I need my entire book jacket—front cover, spine, and back—professionally re-edited. We have already talked through which text and imagery will stay, which will change, and the general look I’m aiming for, so you’ll be working from a clear creative brief rather than starting from scratch. The job is straightforward: take the existing files I’ll provide (layered PSDs and high-resolution PDFs) and apply the agreed adjustments so the finished artwork is press-ready. That means correct trim, bleed, spine width, and color profile (CMYK for print, RGB for online thumbnails), plus tidy, legible typography and balanced composition. Deliverables • Updated, layered source file (PSD or AI) • Print-ready PDF with crop/bleed marks • High-res JPEG ...

    Overview I am commissioning a fully illustrated children’s book aimed squarely at readers aged 5–10. The book will run at a minimum of 72 pages (excluding front and back matter) and function as a standalone title ideal for classroom reading or home libraries.

    I have a fiction manuscript in the mystery/thriller space and now need a striking cover that instantly sets the right mood. The visual direction is important: dark colours with subtle shadowy figures, a single central protagonist, and hints of abstract patterns that suggest tension without giving away the plot. Here’s how I picture the hand-off: • A print-ready front-spine-back layout (KDP paperback, 6"×9", 300 dpi, with bleed) • A matching ebook cover (JPEG, 72 dpi, Amazon-ready) • Source file (PSD or layered AI) so I can tweak text later if needed Acceptance criteria • Title and author name clearly legible in thumbnail size • Overall tone reads unmistakably as mystery/thriller—no bright or playful palette • Visual b...

    Fantasy Light Novel Cover Art

    I’m commissioning a full-colour illustration for my upcoming fantasy light novel. The scene should centre on my protagonist, with a clear mystical and enchanting atmosphere—shimmering lights, subtle magical motifs, and a sense of wonder that invites the reader in. A key supporting character can appear beside or just behind the lead, but the hero must remain the undeniable focal point. I’ll supply a short blurb, detailed written references, and pose/clothing images for both characters. Please let the environment echo classic high-fantasy settings (think ancient forests, floating ruins, or moonlit citadels) while still leaving generous negative space for the title and author name. The final art will be used both in print and online, so I need it delivered at 300 dpi, CMYK-...
