Experienced KDP Book Cover Designer Needed – Series Branding & Reusable Cover Template

Experienced KDP Book Cover Designer Needed – Series Branding & Reusable Cover Template Overview I am seeking an experienced book cover designer to create a professional, reusable cover system for an ongoing series of books. I have already created the AI artwork and will provide both the original image and my preferred front-cover crop. The successful candidate will professionally refine the artwork, prepare it for publication, and create a reusable series template that can be used across multiple future books. This is not a project to redesign the artwork from scratch. The character, colour palette, visual style, and overall concept have already been approved. About the Project The books are spiritual, metaphysical, self-development, and channeled works. The same central character will become the visual identity of the series, with different titles being applied to future books. The successful designer must understand Amazon KDP specifications and how cover dimensions change depending on page count and spine width. What I Need Artwork Refinement The supplied artwork is AI-generated and may require professional refinement, including: * Correcting AI-generated lettering and symbols * Correcting the spirit board lettering layout where required * Refining tattoos and small visual details * Cleaning up any AI-generated inconsistencies * Improving overall production quality while maintaining the existing style Wraparound Cover Creation The supplied image is currently designed as a front cover. The successful designer will: * Extend the artwork to create a full wraparound cover * Create a spine design * Prepare space for: * Book title * Subtitle * Author name * Back cover blurb * Author bio * Barcode The background artwork may need to be seamlessly extended across the spine and back cover. Typography & Readability Future titles will vary significantly in length. The designer should be comfortable: * Creating subtle gradients where necessary * Darkening or lightening areas of the artwork to improve readability * Creating a flexible title placement system * Maintaining a professional commercial appearance For example, the upper section of the spirit board may need to be subtly darkened to allow titles to stand out while preserving the artwork underneath. Deliverables * Amazon KDP Paperback Cover * Amazon KDP eBook Cover * Editable layered PSD files * Reusable series template * Font recommendations * Future title replacement instructions Ideal Candidate * Experienced with Amazon KDP * Strong Photoshop skills * Experience working with AI-generated artwork * Experience designing book series * Strong typography skills * Excellent attention to detail Ongoing Work This is intended to become an ongoing relationship. There will be multiple books within this series requiring future title changes, spine adjustments, and cover preparation. To Apply Please provide: * Examples of previous book covers * Examples of KDP projects * Examples of series branding work * Confirmation that you understand KDP spine calculations and varying cover dimensions Please include the words: "KDP Series Designer" in your application so I know you have read the entire brief.
