Jonas Peres – Designer

Perfectionist, Creative, Punctual! Book designer with 20-years experience working for publishers and independent authors worldwide.

Overview

I’m a Spanish Creative and Art Director trained in Calarts (California Institute of the Arts, LA) with more than 20 years of experience.

As Editorial Designer I have created countless Book Covers for publishers and for authors Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, The New York Times

Best Sellers, Hachette, Paramount Pictures, Amazon Best Sellers, National Geographic, Universal Music, New York University, Netflix, Editorial Planeta, IngramSpark, or Weston Publishing, among others.

* What to expect from my designs?

I don’t follow a single, fixed visual style when designing book covers. Instead, I adapt to the demands of the highly competitive book market, ensuring that each design fits the story, the audience, and the industry trends. What truly defines my work is my focus on emotion, movement, and attraction—I strive to create covers that don’t just look good but feel compelling, drawing readers in at first glance.

I enjoy working with crisp, smart, and modern aesthetics, always searching for a simple yet powerful graphic element that captures the essence of the book and presents it in an engaging and evocative way.

* Regarding the process:

- I usually create multiple preliminary designs. The client selects one, and from there, we refine it thoroughly until it’s perfect.

- You can always expect friendly and dedicated support—I won’t be satisfied with the final cover until you are.

I'd be happy to discuss your project ideas :)

It has been a true pleasure to work with Jonas! Based on the ideas/images I sent him, he made a variety of extremely striking cover designs; together, we kept working through the designs until we found one that was just right! The idea we wound up settling on was very different from the one I had...

It was a joy and a great experience working with Jonas. He grasped the vision of my book-cover immediately. He provided me with ideas, feedback and interesting samples, making the necessary changes to create what I wanted. All this with a smile in his words. I would not hesitate to recommend him!...
