Book Cover Designer needed
Worldwide
Hi, I’m looking for a professional cover designer/artist for a full 9-book dark mythic fantasy/thriller series called MYTHEON. I already have the full cover system concept designed, including: - title list - arc structure - color palette by book - symbol system by arc - hidden 3x3 map concept that connects all 9 covers I’m looking for someone who can create a premium, cohesive, collectible series aesthetic — elegant, symbolic, cinematic, and professional — not generic fantasy covers or overly cluttered compositions. The covers are divided into: - Arc 1: Greek symbols on parchment - Arc 2: Norse runes on parchment - Arc 3: Egyptian hieroglyphs on papyrus A key feature is that each cover contains a hidden fragment of a larger formation map, and when all 9 are laid in a 3x3 grid they connect into one complete image, with the door at the center of Book 5 and the final locking piece in Book 9. If this sounds like a good fit for your style, I’d love to send you the full brief and discuss the best way to approach the series. I have attached the AI inspired covers (which cannot be used as is), however, they don't give me the map that connects the covers ( Book 5 Would be the Middle book) The Map needs to be an AHA moment for readers down the road. I like to start with Book 1 as a paid test project as well as concept of he 9 book design, if the vision hits, I'd like to continue all 9 books. Style References: Dan Brown–style symbolism (Da Vinci Code energy) Minimalist but powerful focal imagery Cinematic lighting and realism Mythological elements treated as ancient and real, not fantasy clichés Avoid: Overcrowded fantasy scenes Cartoonish or exaggerated characters Generic stock-photo style covers All final work must be: 100% original Free from copyright/licensing issues Fully transferred for commercial use What I Will Provide AI concept images (inspiration only) Titles + subtitles for each book Symbol ideas and thematic direction Feedback throughout the project
