The Consortium Rising
Designed by Nejc P.
Available to hire"As the second volume of The Consortium series, the goal was to maintain a cohesive aesthetic while elevating the original concept. Each installment stands alone with a distinct visual story, yet remains unmistakably unified. Strong reds, deep blacks, and striking imagery create immediate tension, placing the reader on edge before they open the book—resulting in a series that feels deliberate and boldly connected."

Save the Queen City
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"This cover is designed to feel like a playing card, clean, bold, and a little deceptive. The symmetry and framed layout hint at rules, risk, and chance, echoing a story where everyone has something to hide. The glamorous surface reflects Nikki’s media world, while the city in the lenses suggests danger hiding in plain sight, reinforcing the idea that in this game, you never know who is holding the winning card."
Designer: Alejandro C.
Highest Price
Designed by Alejandro C.
Available to hire"Inspired by the timeless image of a knight confronting a giant—echoing Don Quixote—this illustration captures the epic clash in a bold, contemporary way. I chose the peak dramatic moment, the instant of collision, for maximum impact. Strong movement and a balanced palette give the cover a timeless, epic quality while helping it stand out in today’s market. It remains one of my strongest pieces in the genre."
Designer: Vanessa M.
A Dedication
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"The intention was to make it feel warm and human. We wanted a sense of care, connection, and quiet support, something that reflects healing and growth without being heavy. The open setting feels hopeful, and the figures together suggest guidance and trust. The soft light and gentle typography were chosen to keep it approachable and emotionally comforting."

Where the Sabiá Bird Sings
Designed by Nuno M.
Available to hire“The cover for this coming-of-age novel set in Rio de Janeiro uses a stylized, modernist language to evoke memory, music, and place rather than literal storytelling. Geometric shapes suggest the city’s mountains and coastline, while floating notes and a warm sun introduce rhythm, alluding to the ‘sabiá’ of the title. A restrained palette — sand, deep green, coral, blue — echoes tropical light, and the typography balances playfulness with a literary tone and nostalgia.”

Two Infinite Things
Designed by Caitlin B. A.
Available to hire"For the first book in the series, the author felt it was important to represent a narrative element on the cover, so we chose the hand holding a mouse. This engaging and peculiar imagery paired with a deep night sky created a magical, mysterious tone that reflects this unique book's crossover genre of YA sci-fi, magical realism, thriller and drama."
Designer: My Lan K.
Scorching Summit
Designed by My Lan K.
Available to hire"This cover shows the two main characters against an autumnal background. I wanted to show their dynamic through pose and expression. They are back-to-back, showing how they start as enemies but eyeing each other to add romantic interest. The book has some level of spice, which is hinted at by how the MMC is holding the hose."
Designer: Alex D.
It Could Have Been Murder
Designed by Alex D.
Available to hire"The cover captures the fragile boundary between imagination and consequence. The river of blood flowing from the title suggests that ideas themselves carry consequences, shifting from controlled theory to real danger. The figures moving through the scene evoke anonymity, strategy, and an encroaching threat, reflecting a story driven by tension, moral ambiguity, and the unsettling moment when control begins to slip."
Designer: Patrick K.
Call For Fire
Designed by Patrick K.
Available to hire"The author is a former Special Operations Force member, so accuracy mattered, especially in how the character and gear were portrayed. I asked a lot of questions and worked closely with the author. I used big typography to create enough room inside the type to use as a mask. And by having images inside, behind, and in front of the type, I was able to create a sense of depth and interest to the viewers.”
Designer: Alex D.
Erase Me
Designed by Alex D.
Available to hire"Portraying the protagonists within their phone screens immediately communicates key themes of the novel: internet culture and its impact on identity, intimacy, and modern relationships. The subtle emotion and subtext in each character’s face also tell their own quiet stories and draw the reader in. The cover’s uniqueness comes from its illustration style and aesthetic, with an unusual colour scheme that suits the blend of dark themes, dark humour, and intimacy."
Designer: Victoria H.
Whalers
Designed by Victoria H.
Available to hire"The tone of this cover needed to feel oppressive and isolating in its colour palette, to match the accusations the protagonist is faced with after a schoolgirl goes missing. Throughout the story, he often feels like he’s drowning, plus the book is set in a small whaling town, and so the image of waves also felt really important, as did a harpoon, targeted at the protagonist's car in place of a whale. "

Animal Control
Designed by Mark K.
Available to hire"I chose this moment because it’s small, strange, and easy to overlook. Early in the story, the worm forming shapes feels incidental, but as the book unfolds, you realize it’s quietly teaching you how power and intention work in this world. That ambiguity is important. I tend to avoid literal character-driven covers and instead look for a single image that hints at the rules of the story. Something simple, a little unsettling, that trusts the reader to connect the dots."
Designer: Matt H.
The Sea Dragon’s Vault
Designed by Matt H.
Available to hire"This cover aims to immerse the viewer in the epic scale of the story. A small human silhouette set against a looming eye conveys the sea dragon’s immense size, while the rest of the composition preserves its mystery. The distinctive rendering style, combining inked line art with bold, bright colors, is what makes the image truly pop."
Designer: Sofía S.
Hell-Bound
Designed by Sofía S.
Available to hire"For Hell-Bound's cover, Bethany wanted to have her main character portrayed alongside a fantasy-looking frame. Painting the character (Renata) was a smooth ride, that's my speciality after all. However, the frame was a different story, so I tried different approaches and ended up mixing graphic design with my painterly style. The result is cohesive and pleasant."

Lifted Ink
Designed by Roderick B.
Available to hire"I felt this book — and its title alone — called for a handcrafted feel with a surreal edge. The stark blue paired with pale yellow detailing creates a dreamlike mood, pushing the limits of the format while remaining minimal at first glance. The half-finished 'inking' gives it a sense of movement, which I hope adds to the overall feel and represents the story well, without being explicitly on-the-nose."
Designer: Sofía S.
The Dragon and the Nightingale
Designed by Sofía S.
Available to hire"The Dragon and the Nightingale might look simple in its design, but it turns out I love to complicate my designs. I hand painted both the dragon and the bird so they would have a bit of a sketchy, pencil-ish look, and filled them with carefully selected colors to give the cover an electric feel. I finished it up with glowing particles and a sober font for the title, and here's the eye-catching result!"
Designer: Roderick B.
Whistle Punk Falls
Designed by Roderick B.
Available to hire"This cover came together almost instinctively, without much planning. It felt like the only way it could exist, so I worked quickly to preserve that energy, which mirrors the stories’ aesthetic. The bright yellow was essential from the start, with stark contrasts reinforcing the punk spirit. A handcrafted approach and minimal palette create immediate impact, while the flowers counter the sharp, rebellious character. A appropriately 'punk' clash of imagery."

Emails to Fellow Sinners
Designed by Alexander N.
Available to hire"This cover design is a rare case of an idea arriving effortlessly while I was reading the book. Daniel’s book is a collection of fictional emails sent to unknown recipients, exploring character through subtext rather than plot. I wanted the cover to suggest a cast of distinct voices, while the tile-style typography nods to the writing’s wry, comic tone. Daniel is a returning client, and our strong rapport played a big role in the cover’s success."
Designer: Arjan V.
The Padrone
Solomon Hill
Designed by Arjan V.
Available to hire"This cover design was created for a 1920s prohibition-era crime novel centred on a mobster. The approach prioritised simplicity while maintaining strong visual impact. The shattered glass effect serves dual purposes—it immediately suggests gunfire and violence, while the radiating crack pattern mirrors the intricate network of criminal connections and influence that emanates from the crime boss at the story's heart."
Designer: Steve M.
Designer: Vanessa M.
Indifferent Universe
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"The cover feels playful, chaotic, and a bit unhinged. The hand drawn type and bold illustration match the A.I.’s ironic, intrusive voice. It signals a strange, funny, and slightly unsettling novel about art, humanity, and meaning."
