The Brief

Design needs

- Cover should convey positivity - Possibly brighter colours which transport lightness (When the target group views the cover they should feel like they reached their goal to lose weight already after having the diet: feeling fresher, lighter, better) - Possibly a woman showing off their successful results (which targets both women and men; please see example stock foto link below) - Title in capital letters would be nice, sub title can be normally written - Something (maybe a seal) with plant leaves to convey naturality, bio, healthiness? Not sure about that – if you have suggestions or best practices please lets ... - Nothing too playful, it needs to be trustworthy and convey effectiveness - When you suggest stock fotos, please use depositphotos if possible

Minimalist Anxiety Self-Help Book Cover Design | Modern Psychology & Mental Health Cover with

Minimalist Anxiety Self-Help Book Cover Design | Modern Psychology & Mental Health Cover with

Designed for a self-published author, this modern self-help book cover explores anxiety with warmth, clarity, and a touch of personality. Instead of relying on the usual visual clichés, I paired clean editorial typography with a simple line illustration to create a cover that feels calm, approachable, and memorable. The soft color palette reflects themes of emotional healing, self-compassion, overthinking, and personal growth while keeping the design highly legible at Amazon KDP thumbnail size. Created for a psychology and mental health book inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), this custom book cover balances strong visual hierarchy with a friendly, contemporary feel. It's designed to help nonfiction authors stand out in competitive self-publishing and traditional publishing markets while appealing to readers looking for books about anxiety relief, wellness, mindfulness, and emotional resilience.

Book Cover Illustration and Design

Valia Shiau wants nothing more than to launch an independent music station with her bandmate and erstwhile lover Soren, far from the corporate noise of the post-nuclear Metro. But her father's cancer returns and Soren leaves for a solo career. Valia is left with two choices: fade into obscurity, or monetize motherhood like her sister. Then Mericor Industries' enigmatic CEO, Jaakoman Bora, offers her a third option—broadcast her music from humanity's first interstellar colony. The catch: making history on Primis means corporate surrogacy, light-years away from everything she's ever known. As a global space race accelerates around her, Valia must decide how much she's willing to trade—her body, her future—even her voice—for the chance to be heard. But Primis holds more than anyone bargained for: the devil and the divine.

Epic Fantasy Book Cover Illustration

Epic Fantasy Book Cover Illustration

A breathtaking, highly detailed digital illustration designed for an epic fantasy book cover. The scene depicts a sprawling, magical cityscape featuring intricate architecture, a dramatic sky, and glowing crystal spires in the distance. Two adventurous characters overlook the vibrant city from a vine-covered balcony. The artwork's composition is perfectly balanced to integrate bold typography, making it ideal for fantasy authors, publishing houses, or conceptual world-building projects.

I always enjoy creating seamless wraparound covers because they become even more immersive when the book is opened. For this horror novel, I chose a dark color palette to create a mysterious, unsettling atmosphere. The boy is the main focal point because the story centers on his striking green eye, allowing it to immediately capture the reader's attention and spark curiosity. Rather than using a plain divider for the spine, I incorporated a cemetery gate column to create a natural transition between the front and back covers while reinforcing the eerie mood. Every element of this cover was illustrated completely by hand. No AI-generated content or stock images were used. As an illustrator, I believe every story deserves original artwork that reflects its unique identity. My goal is to create covers that are not only visually compelling but also exclusive works of art crafted specifically for each author's story.

Here is another seamless wraparound cover I created for a low fantasy novel. Every element was illustrated completely by hand, creating a continuous scene that transitions from a lush forest on the back cover to a dry, desolate landscape on the front, reflecting the story's world and atmosphere. The sword, mist, and architecture are key elements of the novel. Instead of placing the sword in the ground, I designed it to pierce the letter D in the title, creating a unique interaction between the typography and illustration. The massive tree trunk on the spine serves as a natural divider, making the transition between the front and back covers feel seamless. Everything was hand drawn—no AI-generated elements or stock images were used. I believe every book deserves original artwork that is crafted exclusively for its story.
