Children's Picture Book Front Cover – "Rosie and the Lost Puppy"

Front cover illustration, main character design, and custom typography created for a heartwarming children’s picture book (Ages 3–7)[cite: 17].

THE BRIEF:
The author needed a compelling, high-contrast front cover featuring a young girl named Rosie comforting a lost golden puppy on a rainy, cobblestone village street at dusk[cite: 17]. The artwork needed to convey warmth, empathy, and hope against a rainy evening backdrop, with bold title typography that catches the eye on Amazon KDP listings[cite: 17].

WHAT I CREATED:
• Front Cover Illustration: Expressive digital artwork featuring Rosie in a yellow raincoat and red rainboots gently cradling a golden puppy, framed by wet cobblestone reflections, streetlights, and cozy storefronts[cite: 17].
• Custom Typography & Branding: Designed bold, glossy title lettering (“Rosie and the Lost Puppy”) with paw-print and heart accents, a golden ribbon banner for the subtitle, and decorative chalkboard sign details (“Kindness Makes Every Day Better”)[cite: 17].
• Atmospheric Color & Lighting: Balanced warm ambient streetlamp glows with cool rainy blues to create an inviting, cinematic atmosphere[cite: 17].

TECHNICAL SPECS:
• Software: Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign
• Deliverables: High-resolution 300 DPI CMYK front cover file formatted to exact print specifications for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and digital eBook distribution[cite: 17].
