Zoe Norvell – Designer

Overview

As a graphic designer, my job is to consume content, understand the message and audience, and react with a compelling visual product. As such, I am not limited to any specific genre when it comes to designing a book cover. I have worked on beautiful, meticulous literary fiction as well as bold, powerful self-help books.
The cover needs to be striking, whether it is quiet or loud. It also needs to appropriately target its unique readership and stand out on a bookstore table among its peers. When all of these elements come together within the printed, rectangular form that you hold in your hands, my job is complete.

Working with Zoe was a dream. She was prompt and attentive, and gave me a cover that is often praised when I talk with readers. I was lucky that my publisher allowed me control over my cover so that I could work with Zoe and I would definitely recommend her to others.

Zoe was great to work with. She designed an outstanding font and back cover and was timely and professional throughout the process. She was also helpful in guiding me through the steps as this was my first publishing experience.
