Alfred Saves the Day
Designed by Evgenia P.
Available to hire"Tiny mouse, towering cheeses, and one warm palette: Alfred is firmly in his world, yet his posture hints at mischief and possibility. The cosy terracotta background invites readers in, while the contrast between tiny mouse and monumental cheese stack sets up the central joke: that someone so small could cause so much chaos. Loose, expressive linework keeps the tone playful, promising humour and heart."

Lonely Space
Designed by Caitlin B. A.
Available to hire"Given the focus on this book's main character's inner life and struggles, the cover centers the subtle emotion on Beatrice's face, surrounded by a dark and ominous color palette. The typography references current sci-fi genre trends, complemented by the background space gradient texture, to indicate a feeling of isolation and mystery."
Designer: Roberta Z.
The Dazzling Magic of a Petit Four
Designed by Roberta Z.
Available to hire"The cover is shaped like a 1920s tarot card, with a nod to Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby to signal the Twenties: a world of sublime elegance and magic spells. I immersed myself in Art Deco interiors, fashion, and typefaces, working closely with the author to hone every detail. The aim was atmosphere over summary, but readers will enjoy spotting the hidden hints — Paris, a pentagram, cake, a black cat — and feel they’re holding something precious."
Designer: Victoria H.
The Death and Life of Amy Smith
Designed by Victoria H.
Available to hire"Cam’s story is full of life (despite being about death) and contains a wealth of vivid imagery – in fact, there was so much to choose from that I very quickly began playing with this grid format in my designs. It allowed me to solidly locate the book in London, while simultaneously picking out some of the eye-catching key elements from the story. The bold and vibrant use of colour then sets the tone for the book to potential readers, speaking directly to the contemporary fiction market."
Designer:
Nelly Finds Her Niche
"This picture book called for illustrations full of charm and heart with the cute fun characters and storylines, whilst avoiding infantilising or talking down to the reader. All the typography is original for this cover and is hand drawn."
Designer: Eva P.
Designer:
Farewell to Summer
"This book features a narrative about naturalists, so we wanted to be a bit more subtle about the nudity, and describe a bit more of a scene through the illustration and storytelling rather than being too on the nose with it. All the typography is hand drawn, and the imagery was made by hand drawing elements and layering them, much like a screen print, in order to keep the original pencil textures."
Designer: Caitlin K.
Designer: Jesus F.
The Book of Jacob
Designed by Jesus F.
Available to hire"This cover was designed to capture the loneliness, scale, and fragile hope at the heart of the story. The endless desert and towering walker reflect a world worn down by survival, while Jacob and Tyler, seen from behind, suggest a quiet journey toward something distant and almost mythic. The warm colors evoke the dry, scorching atmosphere of the desert beneath an unforgiving sun, while the blue of the distant sea hints at freshness, longing, and hope."
Designer: Nuno M.
The Alchemy of Emotions
Designed by Nuno M.
Available to hire"This cover captures a quiet moment of emotional transformation and introspection. The watercolor figure, hovering between abstraction and the human form, reflects the book’s themes of vulnerability, change, and emotional openness. A restrained palette and delicate linework create an airy, meditative mood, while the classical typography brings balance and clarity. Intimate yet universal, the composition suggests emotion without spelling it out."
Designer: Ellie B.
Rescue in Regent's Park
Adam Bethlehem and Zuzanna Celej
Designed by Ellie B.
Available to hire"This book explores the friendship that develops when a fox is rescued by a mouse one winter's night. The cover artwork highlights their growing friendship against the backdrop of Regent's Park. The typography, which is embossed and foiled, is deliberately understated to sit harmoniously with Zuzanna's painting, and works across various translated editions."

Converse
Designed by Raúl L.
Available to hire"This book is a compilation of the work of R. S. Thomas, a writer who claimed the history of Wales in his writings. Local people, nation, culture and nature appears frequently on the texts, specially blackbirds and other local fauna. So I took that birds as the main protagonist resting on branches made of paper and ripped off where a map of Wales comes up".
Designer:
Pearl Bound
"This cover combines Victorian analog collage elements, textures, and symbolic imagery to create a dark, unsettling atmosphere that reflects the novel’s Gilded Age mystery and psychological depth. The raven and cracked pearl act as visual metaphors, while the bold typography gives the design a modern, striking presence legible at thumbnail sizes. The layered composition was crafted to feel DIY, vintage and authentic, yet still modern and timeless."

Mist
Designed by Milica S.
Available to hire"The cover for Mist visually bridges the novel’s psychological tension and its underlying sci-fi elements. The glitchy, ethereal portrait embodies the title's 'mist' while hinting at the AI forces hidden within the narrative. I wanted to represent the generations of Black women at the story's core using digital textures that reflect the dual timelines and fractured realities. The modern, spacious typography adds an enigmatic touch to the thriller."
Designer: Nuno M.
Before Tomorrow
Designed by Nuno M.
Available to hire"This cover captures the sense of movement and emotional transition at the heart of the memoir. Bold graphic forms and a flash of yellow create tension between openness and fragmentation, while the documentary-style treatment reflects themes of travel, displacement, and personal reinvention. Handwritten elements add a more intimate, vulnerable layer, balancing immediacy with emotional depth."
Designer: Alan H.
An Anthropology of Wandering
Designed by Alan H.
Available to hire"The bold contrasting lines of the eye illustration and the radiating focal point immediately draw the reader’s eye to the compass needle at the center. It’s a clever “two-in-one” visual approach that perfectly captures the book’s core message and emotional tone in a strong, graphic, and highly memorable way. That coupled with a sophisticated color palette and the clear title placement immediately signals authority."
Designer: Amanda L.
Kind to All Kinds
Designed by Amanda L.
Available to hire"My aim for the cover was to convey Mark's intentions to show animals experiencing feelings and a sense of inclusion, whilst also showcasing the beauty of nature around them. I wanted the cover to be colourful to stand out and the typography was chosen to look unique, but gentle to reiterate the themes within the book."
Designer: Mark M.
Designer: Owen G.
Designer: Peter S.
What Keeps Us
Designed by Peter S.
Available to hire"Since the main linking element in Jeanine Boulay’s novel-in-stories is its historic Brooklyn setting, I emphasized that in my design by way of an emblematic row of Brooklyn brownstones peeking out from behind the book’s title, which fills the design, such that the enormous “US” allays any doubt as to what country Brooklyn is in. Meanwhile another famous Brooklyn feature, it’s wild parrots (parakeets, actually), fly over the letters, casting ominous shadows on them."

Think Again
Designed by Ashley S.
Available to hire"This book was more impressionistic and radical so I wanted a more free-flowing style, I used Procreate to achieve something much more gestural that my usual work.The book is also about reading people's thoughts and I love the motif of the characters' matching thoughts in the brain and also the same thought being reflected in the glasses."
Designer: Barış Ş.
Designer: Tim B.
The Nature of Demons
Designed by Tim B.
Available to hire"The Nature of Demons describes an ordinary world that has suddenly gone to pieces due to a supernatural apocalypse. I wanted to depict how an ordinary street in suburbia might look a couple of days after the event, and for it to have a similar feel to some of the medieval paintings of hell by Bruegel and Bosch."
Designer: Marta D.
The Dragon Liberator: Escapade
Designed by Marta D.
Available to hire"The cover showcases the main character of the novel, Fendrel, and his dragon, hinting at the plot with eye-catching details, such as Fendrel’s pendant. The goal was to create a semi-realistic illustration reminiscent of classic epic fantasy covers, while making it appealing to a younger audience."
