I’m open to create all genres.

Next to book boxes and publisher, I also like to create book cover designs for self-publishers.

Based on the briefing, I create a design draft on one concept that reflects your book cover idea. After receiving your feedback, I’ll make adjustments and after the project is over, I will send you all the relevant files and give you the extended rights of use for the design.

Usually, my services are booked about four – five months ahead. For a rush fee, I can move a project forward, just let me know how soon you need the design done.

No, there is no need in paying a deposit to book a slot.

In case you commission a book cover design, it helps a lot if you have a precise idea of ​​your book cover design: Should it have certain colors? What is the format of your book? Which fonts do you like? Which pictures / symbols should be seen? But no worries, you can also send sample pictures to show what kind of covers you like.

Yes, this works!

I provide five free adjustment rounds on one design concept during the creative process. In case you need me to do more adjustments or after completing the design, I charge 89 USD per hour.

This depends on each project. For more details, check out the services.

The payments are separated in two installments: half upfront and half after completing the project (via PayPal in EUR).

Sure! In addition to paperbacks and hard covers, I also create eBook cover designs in the most popular formats.

Completing the design process depends on how time-consuming the style of art will be and how long the revisions take (it takes between a few days and a few weeks). E. g. 3D book cover designs are more time-consuming than others, because just the rendering takes a few hours ;). In urgent cases (hard deadlines), it’s possible to move the project forward, but this increases the price (rush fee).

Sure! I do create book cover designs in a series.

Please tell me which premade cover design you would like to buy. I will adjust the title, the author name and, if necessary, the tagline for you. Big changes to the layout are not part of the offer. These are not included. If adjustments are still important to you, these will be charged extra depending on the effort.

There is no need in sending a specimen copy.

No, I can adjust the spine size for you later.

When the design has been completed, you’ll receive all the final file formats (as JPG, PNG, PDF…). I don’t share my working files.

Of course, I appreciate that! You can also send me your Pinterest moodboard, if you like.

Usually: No, I don’t share my working files (no right to edit unless otherwise agreed).

Sure! Next to book cover designs, I create merchandising design, web & social media design, book interior & magazine design, logo & corporate identity, label & packaging design and advertising & business design.

The designer owns the copyright to the design. Unless otherwise agreed: After completing the design process, I’ll transfer you the exclusive usage rights. There is no transfer of right to edit the artwork and design by others, but e.g. you’re allowed to use the completed design to promote your book cover.

That means the licence to use or right to access the design as set out in the applicable product terms.

Yes, of course! I also offer additional design services.

Yup! Next to ebook cover designs, I also create hardcover, dust jacket and paperback designs.

No, I don’t share all designs I created on my social media accounts.
