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.

This is the second book that Nejc has designed for me (and I fully plan for there to be many more!). He is a professional who meets deadlines and remains in constant contact throughout the process. He listens to what you want for your book and offers great feedback to make your cover the best it can be. Highly recommended!

Mr. Nejc was very professional to work with as always. Even though my budget was small, he still put in a lot of effort in a product that we both appreciated. I highly recommend anyone to work with him if they are looking for book covers. I'm sure i'll work with him again sometime in the future.

Nejc was a pleasure to work with. I was completely new to this process, and he provided guidance every step of the way. He asked me questions that I hadn't even thought about and provided resources that helped me make decisions with how I'd like to proceed. The end result was far beyond what I had originally envisioned, and I couldn't be happier. Nejc took my ideas and transformed them into s...
