Clint English

Clint English – Designer

Art director and designer since 2007 creating bold, story-driven visuals with a strong background in the music industry.

Overview

Hi, I’m Clint. I’ve been a designer and art director since 2007, creating work for major record labels, touring artists, and merchandise companies. Over the years my designs have appeared on world tours, online shops, and in stores like Hot Topic, Forever 21, and Kohl’s.

I approach book cover design the same way I approach music and merchandise design: it’s about capturing a mood, a story, and a feeling that connects with people instantly. I enjoy working closely with clients to make sure their vision comes through while also creating something bold and memorable that stands out in a crowded space.

If you’re looking for a cover that feels authentic, eye-catching, and true to your story, I’d be glad to help bring it to life.

Working with Clint was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made for my book. From the first conversation, Clint understood exactly what I was trying to create, not just visually, but emotionally. He didn’t just design a cover; he translated the story's soul into something that feels powerf...

Clint is a fantastic artist and designer and working with him on a book cover project was wonderful. This is my first novel, so his patience with that inexperience on my end was very much appreciated! He's talented, kind, and responsive. The trifecta for collaborators if you ask me!

Clint is simply wonderful. The collaboration with Clint was nothing short of amazing. He is clever and insightful when it comes to turning the text of the story into an appropriate graphic representation. This is my second cover with Clint and he knocks it out of the park.
