book cover Ask Your Pharmacist cover design

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.
