Nejc Planinšek – Designer

Award-winning designer with over 10 years of experience in creating captivating thriller, mystery, and horror book covers.

Overview

Hi! I’m Nejc and I’m an award-winning graphic designer with over 10 years of experience in designing book covers, album covers, marketing and branding.


I have worked as a designer and illustrator for publishing houses, advertising agencies and tech companies where I had the opportunity to work for clients such as Braun, Spotify, NBCU, and Bloomberg.


As an author of several musical albums, short films and novellas, I know just how meaningful and powerful a well-designed cover can be, and it is my personal belief that every good book deserves an even better cover.


Feel free to reach out and contact me if you would like:

- A bespoke, marketable & eye-catching cover.

- Custom typography for your book.

- Technical support for self-publishers & first-time authors.

- Long-term support (for cover print adjustments) after project completion.

- A collaboration that is on time and on budget.


If you have any question or would like to discuss anything in more detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am happy to help.

There aren't enough superlatives. Nejc exceeded my expectations on every point surveyed. But most important was the sense of ownership he had for my project. He took time to understand the story and used his abundant talent to compellingly portray that story on the cover. And he was patient with this first-time book author.

I had the difficult task of replacing a designer in the middle of a series. Nejc didn't just fill in... He did something amazing! His questions were thoughtful, his dedication to creating something similar to what came before but still new and undeniably his was astounding, and he went above and beyond to make sure it was what I wanted and fit perfectly with the existing covers. I could not pos...
