This project was very important for me as it was very challenging to do from scratch to the end. There were multiple characters contesting for a race and thus the story goes.

The client wanted a warm, emotional, and visually inviting cover for a contemporary romance novel centered around the idea of love finding a second chance. The goal was to create a romantic atmosphere without relying on overly typical romance imagery, while still making the genre and emotional tone immediately clear to potential readers. The main challenge was creating a scene that felt intimate and nostalgic while leaving enough visual space for the title and subtitle. I chose a cozy bookstore setting at golden hour, with warm café lighting, two cups of coffee, and a book placed naturally in the foreground. These elements help suggest connection, memories, and the possibility of two people finding their way back to each other. For the typography, I used an elegant serif style to give the title a sophisticated and literary appearance while maintaining strong readability. The soft cream lettering works naturally against the darker background and complements the warm tones of the scene. I also paid close attention to hierarchy, spacing, and placement so the title remains the focal point without overpowering the image. The final design combines a cozy romantic setting with refined typography to create an emotional, bookstore-inspired cover that feels inviting, sophisticated, and appropriate for a contemporary romance audience.

The client needed a bold and professional cover for a business book exploring truth, persuasion, perception, and success. The title, The Honest Liar, is intentionally thought-provoking, so the design needed to create curiosity while still looking like a serious business and personal development book. The main challenge was making such a strong title feel sophisticated rather than overly dramatic. I decided to keep the design simple and let the typography do most of the work. The large title became the main focal point, with “HONEST” in white and “LIAR” in gold to create contrast and give the two words their own visual weight. For the background, I used a modern city skyline at sunset. The image gives the cover a business-oriented atmosphere and adds depth without competing with the typography. I also kept the lower part of the cover dark so the subtitle and author's name could remain clear and readable. I spent a lot of attention on the typography, spacing, and hierarchy because there are several important pieces of information on the front cover. The final result is a clean, confident business book cover with a premium feel. The combination of strong typography, the city background, and restrained gold accents gives the book a professional identity while still creating enough curiosity around the title to make someone want to learn what the book is about.

The client needed a professional paperback cover for a practical health and medication guide written from the perspective of an experienced pharmacist. The idea was to make the book feel trustworthy and informative, but also friendly and approachable for everyday readers. The main challenge was working with a strong, text-heavy title and subtitle while keeping the front cover clean. I wanted the title to be the first thing readers noticed, so I gave it a strong typographic treatment and kept the supporting text underneath it clear and easy to read. For the visual style, I used a soft white and blue colour palette with a heart-and-hands graphic as the main visual element. The healthcare-inspired DNA patterns and light botanical details add context without making the design feel too clinical. I also worked on the complete paperback wrap, bringing the front cover, spine, and back cover together as one consistent design. On the back, I kept the layout open and readable so the book description could be presented clearly without making the page feel crowded. The final result is a clean and approachable paperback design that gives the book a professional healthcare identity while still feeling warm and accessible to general readers.

The client came to me with a practical self-help book focused on helping men navigate divorce and rebuild their confidence, purpose, and future. The goal was to create a cover that felt strong and encouraging without making the subject feel overly negative or emotional. I worked on the complete book presentation, including the front cover, back cover, and full paperback cover layout. For the visual direction, I used a dark navy and orange color combination to give the book a confident and modern feel. The silhouette of a man standing against the sunrise was chosen to represent moving forward, rebuilding, and starting a new chapter. A big part of the project was making sure the typography was clear and impactful. The title needed to stand out immediately, especially at thumbnail size, while the subtitle and supporting text needed to remain easy to read without competing with the main message. I also handled the Amazon KDP publishing setup for the book. This included preparing the paperback cover and formatting the book for Kindle, making sure the files were properly prepared for their respective formats and ready for publication. The project gave me the opportunity to work on both the creative and technical sides of publishing, from developing the visual concept and complete paperback cover to preparing the Kindle and paperback versions for Amazon KDP.
