Logan Matthews – Designer

Book designer and illustrator with 10+ years of design experience. Expert designer of book covers, casewraps, jackets and paperback layouts.

Overview

With ten years of design experience, including my most recent role as a Visual Designer at Amazon Publishing, I specialize in creating high-impact book covers across all genres—from Thriller and Sci-Fi to Literary Fiction and Romance. My portfolio includes work for major authors including Dean Koontz, Colleen Hoover, and T. Kingfisher, alongside rising stars such as A.R. Torre, Chad Zunker, and Elizabeth Rose Quinn.

Whether you are an established bestseller or a debut author, I bring the same level of creative expertise and technical precision to every project. Beyond the cover art, I am an expert in jacket and casewrap mechanical design. I ensure your files are buttoned-up and perfect, print-ready, and built to the exact specifications of any distributor. I look forward to exploring the visual direction of your next book.
