Overview
What this service covers
A cover must work at two scales: tiny on a retail page and large on a shelf. The title has to be legible, the imagery must signal genre and the finished design must feel distinctive without feeling out of place.
We study your genre, discuss what your book is about and present concepts that balance both needs.
