Here’s a quick mock-up of a book cover I was recently asked to design. It was the first time I’d been asked to do a book cover, so it was an interesting challenge…. especially considering as I was quite keen to keep the design very simple.
I produced two visuals initially, and although the one above was felt to be most suitable for a thriller, the author loved the second design so much he decided to use it for a special edition hard cover.
If you would like to purchase the book (I’ve read the first two chapters and it seems like a rather good tale) the paperback version is available here, and the fancy hardback version here.

Hi Thom,
I’m writing to you as I have just found your work has been stolen by an Up Work freelancer and has posted it as his book design. Users name is Suzon B. from Dhaka Bangladesh.
I being a graphic designer have found hacks from stealing my work and have sued several. I want you alone to be able to say you designed this.
I have flagged his portfolio piece ( your book design) as stolen. His direct up work profile address is http://www.up work.com/:)/suzonbishwas
Take care,
Gerald

Very naughty – thanks for bringing this to my attention. I’ll look into it.
You’re welcome. Hack designers are out there like bank robbers.
