Architect of My Routine: Self-Help Book Cover Design

The brief: Architect of My Routine is a self-help book about designing daily habits that build the life you want. The author needed a cover that felt confident and hopeful, and that would stand out to readers browsing personal development books on Amazon.

My approach: I built the design around one idea: a routine is something you design, like an architect. The title uses a heavy, bold typeface in black, so it reads instantly even as a small thumbnail on a phone. “Of My” and the subtitle use an olive-green script to add warmth and a personal touch, and the green ties into the landscape below. The sky-blue background and the summit image, with people standing at the top, suggest progress, purpose, and reaching a goal. A solid black band at the bottom gives the author’s name strong contrast and anchors the whole layout.

The result
A clean, bold cover with a clear hierarchy that signals the genre at a glance. The author was delighted and approved it after 2 revisions
