Summary

Book Cover Designer Needed for 4-Book Brand Series I’m looking for a book cover designer to create a cohesive four-book visual system for a soon to be established brand. The goal is for each book to have its own strong, relevant cover while still clearly belonging to the same family. A key requirement is that when the four books are placed next to each other on a shelf, the spines should connect to form one larger visual design or image across the full set. The overall design should: Follow my existing brand guidelines Feel intentional, premium, modern, and distinctive Reflect the themes and philosophy behind the brand Give each book its own identity while maintaining a unified series look Incorporate a creative spine concept that becomes a larger image, pattern, symbol, or visual story when the books are arranged together Work well in both print and digital thumbnail formats I will provide: Brand guidelines Book titles and subtitles Brief descriptions/themes for each book Existing brand assets where relevant Print-Ready Deliverables Final deliverables must include Amazon KDP-ready full-wrap cover files for each book, prepared to the final trim size, page count, paper type, and bleed specifications provided. Each book should include: Print-ready PDF cover meeting current Amazon KDP specifications Complete back cover + spine + front cover wrap Correct bleed, margins, spine width, and barcode-safe area High-resolution artwork suitable for print Correct print color setup and embedded fonts Separate high-resolution front-cover file for ebook/digital use Editable/source files (Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, or equivalent) All linked artwork/assets used in the final design Four-book spine artwork correctly aligned so the larger design forms when the physical books are placed together Final revisions necessary to correct any KDP preflight/upload errors attributable to the cover files Designer should have previous experience preparing book covers specifically for Amazon KDP and should be comfortable using the final KDP cover template generated for each book. Please include examples of books you have designed and successfully prepared for Amazon KDP print production. Experience designing physical multi-book series and connecting-spine artwork is strongly preferred.
