Book cover design
A cover designed around the book.

How a Cover Project Works
The cover has to represent the book and still work at the size of a thumbnail.
We read it
The design starts from the manuscript and a conversation about the reader you want to reach.
You stay involved
From the first layout through the files that go to print. You hear from us while the work is happening.
Print, if you want it
We design for print and can produce printed pieces. See print design and printing.
The rest of the brand
Covers sit next to ads, sites and other graphics. See graphic design if the book is part of a larger set of materials.
A Cover We Designed
Joshua Long asked us to design the cover for Bottleneck Breakthrough after years of graphic, print and website work together. We read the book, then designed the jacket around it.
Joshua wrote that having Shawn as his lead designer lets him deliver the work his clients expect, and that he uses us for his own design as well. See more in the portfolio.

Do you design only the cover?
The cover is the usual project. If you also need interior layout, ads or a site for the book, we do that work too.
Can you print the book or the jacket?
We design for print and handle printing and shipping for many pieces. Tell us the format and we will say what we can produce. Print design and printing.
