Refine Existing Amazon KDP Nonfiction Book Cover (Not a Redesign) + Paperback Wrap + ACX

Project Overview I'm looking for an experienced book cover designer with a strong portfolio of bestselling nonfiction book covers to professionally refine an existing cover concept for my upcoming Amazon KDP book. **This is NOT a request for a completely new cover design.** The cover concept has already gone through multiple rounds of refinement and market testing. My goal is to have a professional designer elevate it to publication quality by refining typography, composition, spacing, color balance, readability, and overall visual impact while preserving the existing concept and positioning. The book targets complete beginners interested in herbal remedies. The cover should communicate trust, simplicity, confidence, premium quality, and stand out in Amazon search results—especially at thumbnail size. This may become the first book in a larger series, so I'm interested in building a relationship with a designer who produces exceptional work. --- 1. Front Cover Refinement Please review the existing cover and recommend improvements to: * Typography hierarchy * Font selection and pairing * Subtitle readability * Spacing and alignment * Overall composition * Color harmony and contrast * Botanical illustration placement * Visual balance * Premium appearance * Amazon thumbnail performance * KDP print readiness If you believe any element should be redesigned rather than simply refined, please explain your reasoning before making significant changes. I welcome professional recommendations that improve the cover's commercial performance. --- 2. KDP Paperback Wrap Once the front cover is approved, create the complete paperback cover including: * Front cover * Spine * Back cover * Barcode placement * Print-ready PDF that meets Amazon KDP specifications --- 3. ACX Audiobook Cover Create an audiobook cover that complies with ACX requirements. I'll need: * Square cover (minimum 2400 × 2400 pixels) * High-resolution JPG * Typography optimized for Audible thumbnail readability --- Once finished, please provide: * Editable source files (PSD, AI, Affinity Designer, or equivalent) * Print-ready KDP paperback PDF * High-resolution front cover JPG * Complete paperback wrap * ACX audiobook cover * Fonts used (or font information) * Information about any licensed stock assets used * A clean version of the botanical background without title text (for future branding and marketing materials) --- I'm looking for someone who has: * Proven experience designing successful nonfiction book covers * Strong typography skills * Understanding of Amazon KDP best practices * Experience designing for ACX/Audible * Ability to refine and improve an existing concept rather than replace it * Excellent communication * Attention to detail * Willingness to explain design recommendations --- Before You Submit a Proposal: Please review the attached cover and provide: 1. Your assessment of the current design. 2. The first thing you would improve and why. 3. Whether you believe the concept should be refined or partially redesigned. 4. A fixed-price quote for each part + the total quote. 5. Estimated turnaround time. 6. Number of revision rounds included. 7. Examples of similar nonfiction book covers you've designed. --- Files Provided * Current front cover * Final title and subtitle --- The objective is **not** to create a different cover. My goal is to transform an already strong concept into a polished, premium-quality book cover that can compete with the best-selling nonfiction books on Amazon while preserving the existing vision. I'm looking for thoughtful design improvements—not just execution. If your work is a good fit, I'd love to continue working together on future books in this series.
