BOOK & EBOOK DESIGN
Book and ebook design by a professional book designer makes a significant difference and people are more likely to take notice, you become a credible author and your work becomes worth reading. If it’s a non-fiction book you are likely to be categorised as an expert in your field.
What I do
Below are a selection of book and ebook covers designed by me. Bear in mind that the client selected each design from several alternatives which were subsequently developed.
Cover Design
I design covers for both print and ebooks.
Print book covers need extra work as they also require a spine and back cover. I supply five different designs after discussion with the client. The chosen design is then developed. My approach is to not over-complicate the design as these covers mainly appear on online booksheves at small sizes.
Interior Formatting
This requires different production techniques for print and ebook formats. With Kindle and epub ebooks, text reflows and the font and font size can be changed by the user. This allows for the use of different devices and orientations.
Print books and PDF ebooks on the other hand have all their text and styles ‘nailed down’, and can be made much more stylish.
PDF Ebooks
PDF ebooks are generally brochures produced in digital form to be easily transferable. They are often used on the web in downloadable form. These can be highly stylised if required compared to the other ebook formats. One drawback is that they are easy to copy.
