Timothy O'Donnell

Timothy O'Donnell – Designer

Hello — I'm a cover designer who has worked with HarperCollins Publishers, Hachette Book Group, and Penguin Books.

Overview

I love the challenge of expressing the ideas and atmosphere of a book in a cover that's striking, unique, and emotionally engaging. The wide breadth of my career output—from record and book covers to advertising campaigns to consumer packaging—allows me to pull from a varied range of inspirations and to work across various genres— I've recently designed books about punk rock, recruiting operations, 1980s pro wrestlers, and an 1896 murder at sea. (Writing prompt: see if you can combine all four of those into one manuscript 😂 )
