This project focuses on book covers created for self-published fiction. The goal was to visually communicate tone, genre, and narrative themes while remaining compatible with both print-on-demand and digital formats. The following examples are intended to demonstrate the artist's attention to design principles.
Design choices were guided by genre expectations and intended audience. This example is a cheerful, science fiction youth novella, alluding to a playful, "comic" aesthetic and an analogous color scheme. It was developed alongside typographic and layout decisions, with attention to readability at thumbnail size as well as full print resolution.
This project combines visual storytelling with practical production constraints. These images are "proof" copies and so the "Not For Resale" watermark would not be present on the final product. Click on the images to see this piece live on Amazon.
