À propos
I'm looking for an experienced book cover designer for my upcoming business nonfiction title. It's a 68,000-word governance guide for business owners and CEOs who approve marketing budgets but lack frameworks to evaluate whether that spend is working. This is not a marketing how-to book. It sits in Business/Leadership alongside titles like Traction, Profit First, and Buy Back Your Time.
Publication is planned for mid-2026 via Amazon KDP and IngramSpark (self-published, but it needs to look traditionally published).
Deliverables
∙ Front cover for print (6" x 9" trim, with bleed)
∙ Full wrap cover (front, spine, back) for print-on-demand
∙ Ebook cover (Amazon KDP specifications)
∙ Source files (layered PSD or AI)
∙ Print-ready PDF
Back cover copy and author photo will be provided separately.
Design Direction
The cover should feel clean, confident, and authoritative. Bold typography-led design where the title is the hero. Think modern business shelf, not airport impulse buy.
What I want:
∙ Strong shelf presence and Amazon thumbnail clarity
∙ Dark, sophisticated palette (navy, charcoal, slate) with high-contrast accent colour, OR clean white/light background with strong type
∙ Professional but not stiff or corporate
∙ A cover that signals "business governance" not "digital marketing"
What I don't want:
∙ Stock photography of any kind
∙ Generic business imagery (graphs, arrows, pie charts, handshakes)
∙ Anything that looks like a marketing textbook or course workbook
∙ Bright, loud colours or a "self-published" aesthetic
∙ Orange (overused in business nonfiction), neon colours, or gradients
Reference Covers (design direction, not content)
∙ Traction by Gino Wickman (clean, iconic, simple)
∙ Profit First by Mike Michalowicz (bold type, strong colour)
∙ Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell (modern, confident layout)
∙ $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi (high contrast, strong shelf presence)
∙ Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara (elegant, premium feel)
∙ 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Sullivan & Hardy (bold, contemporary)
Please include in your proposal:
∙ 2-3 examples of nonfiction book covers you've designed
∙ Your typical process and number of concepts/revision rounds included
∙ Confirmation you can deliver print-ready files for KDP and IngramSpark
Contract duration of less than 1 month.
Mandatory skills: Book, Ebook, Graphic Design, Book Cover, Ebook Design, Print Design
