Happily Divorced

Happily Divorced

A calm, hopeful, trustworthy cover for a practical divorce-recovery guide—steady and warm, never clinical, bitter, or saccharine—that makes an exhausted, frightened reader feel they’ve found a safe place to start over.

Traveling Light – Tropical Fiction Book Cover Design

Traveling Light – Tropical Fiction Book Cover Design

Full jacket and front cover design for Traveling Light by Dora Farkas. The goal was to craft a vibrant, emotionally resonant visual identity tailored to contemporary romance and women's fiction. The layout features a tropical border frame paired with warm, sunlit color grading to evoke a scenic getaway feel, while the central silhouette framing—a family walking together toward the horizon—reinforces themes of reconnection, emotional healing, and new beginnings. Typography pairs an elegant, high-contrast serif for the title with clean modern typography across the spine and back cover for optimal legibility and print-ready distribution.

Valeria Is an Alien — Satirical Sci-Fi Book Cover Design

Valeria Is an Alien — Satirical Sci-Fi Book Cover Design

A bold illustrated cover for Valeria Is an Alien, a provocative dark comedy set in near-future London. The goal was to balance the novel’s themes of gender, identity, politics and social satire with its absurd sci-fi premise, without making the design feel like conventional science fiction. A UFO abduction beam becomes the central compositional device, framing Valeria while naturally carrying the title toward the London skyline. The limited red, blue and pink palette, oversized typography and playful retro-inspired graphics give the cover an irreverent editorial character that reflects the book’s humor while keeping the alien premise immediately recognizable.

I've tried to stay on minimalistic approach (no images) but still, keep some story behind the letters. The letter A in the title resembles a silhouette of a person with a big belly (obese).
