Retro Book Cover Designer — Amazon KDP Paperback, Full Wrap
Worldwide
I'm self-publishing a nostalgic word search puzzle book on Amazon KDP and need a full wrap cover — front, spine, and back. The book is 133 themed puzzles covering American pop culture from the 1950s through the 1990s: music, TV, movies, cars, food, fashion, toys and slang. The interior is finished and print-ready. Specs 8.5 × 11 paperback, 172 pages, black-and-white interior Full wrap to the KDP template (spine width calculated from page count and paper stock) Working title: The Decades Word Search Style direction Bold retro collage in the spirit of mid-century American advertising and vintage signage. Warm, saturated palette. Busy but organised — not minimalist. The single hardest requirement: it has to stay readable and eye-catching at Amazon thumbnail size, where most buying decisions actually get made. I have a detailed written brief and a set of reference covers I like, so you won't be designing blind. Deliverables Print-ready PDF to KDP spec, correct bleed and spine Flat front-cover JPEG for the Amazon listing Layered source files Full commercial rights Important: all artwork must be original and free of real brands, logos or trademarked products. The cover features period objects, so this needs care — no Rubik's Cube, no Coca-Cola bottle, no branded toys. Generic equivalents only. About the project This is the first in a planned series, so there's likely repeat work for the right person. To apply: skip the template. Tell me one puzzle or activity book cover you think works well and one sentence on why. Then include your quote, your timeline, and how many revision rounds you include.
