Book Cover Designer — Nonfiction Trade Paperback (Productivity / Self-Development)

PROJECT I'm self-publishing a nonfiction trade paperback (productivity / personal development) and need a print-ready cover that extends an already-locked visual identity. This is execution of a defined system, not concept-from-scratch: the palette, typeface, and the book's central cover graphic already exist. I'm looking for someone who can take that system and produce a polished, shelf-ready cover. THE BOOK "The Spiky Profile: Operating Manual for High-Capability Minds That Stall" is a full-length nonfiction book in the lineage of Atomic Habits (James Clear), Deep Work (Cal Newport), and Clear Thinking (Shane Parrish). The cover should feel at home next to those: clean, modern, confident, premium. WHAT YOU'LL DESIGN Full-wrap print cover (front + spine + back) — print-ready PDF to KDP spec Full-wrap print cover (front + spine + back) — print-ready PDF to IngramSpark spec (different spine + bleed) Standalone front cover, high-res (for the ebook and marketing / thumbnails) Editable source file(s) (PSD / AI / INDD) Trim: 6 × 9 in. Estimated 250–270 pages. The exact spine width is finalized late, once the interior layout and proofread lock the final page count — you'll design front + back + the full look in parallel, then plug in the confirmed spine near the end. I'll provide all back-cover copy (blurb, bio, etc.). THE VISUAL SYSTEM (locked — extend it, don't reinvent it) Color: muted teal #2C5F65 (CMYK C80 M40 Y45 K35), plus black and white. No other colors. Display type: Inter. A custom radar-chart graphic — the book's signature visual — is already produced in teal and white versions, with no title baked in. You'll build the cover around it. WHO I'M LOOKING FOR 3+ published paperback covers in nonfiction — productivity, business, or self-development Proven print-ready experience with both KDP and IngramSpark full-wrap specs (spine math, bleed, embedded fonts) Comfortable executing a defined identity rather than inventing a new one IN YOUR PROPOSAL, PLEASE INCLUDE Links to 3+ relevant covers you've designed (nonfiction / self-development preferred) Confirmation you've delivered print-ready wraps for both KDP and IngramSpark One line on how you'd approach extending a locked visual system Looking forward to seeing your work.
