Book design

Book design that captivates your readers without words

What visual language does your ideal reader speak?

Making your book stand out from the noise is not an option – it is the only way to go

A book's cover is more important than its text.

An engaging and eye-catching book cover design is the key to grabbing a reader’s attention and getting the sale.

It doesn’t matter if a reader is looking at your book in a book store or scrolling on their phone while waiting for their coffee; to achieve its goals, the book cover has to speak the same language as your reader.

Color, typography, shapes, pictures and wording need to blend into an irresistible message for the reader to pick up your book.

Knowing your ideal reader and their goals and motivations is vital to creating a winning book cover.

Interior design matters, too.
Make your book look professional.

Paying attention to the content hierarchy and creating a consistent flow throughout the book makes the content easier to navigate and understand.

Choosing the right typography, colors, spacing, illustrations, images, style, trim size and more make the difference between a professional look for a book and an amateur one.

The right customized book design will enhance the content and help your readers move eagerly from the first to the last word.

Some tips before working on the book cover and interior design:

Be specific about what you want to achieve with your book

Know your audience and who would be your ideal reader

Know the platforms you are going to use to publish the book

Create a marketing plan to promote the book

What my clients are saying

I couldn't imagine my book project without Antonio's experienced and creative eye. He took my words and brought them to life. My manuscript was not only on time and on budget, but I keep getting comments about how the book's design is perfect for my target audience (especially the brain with the hearts inside!)

Deborah Mourey VP J Marbles Inc and Mourey Consulting

Antonio was creative, patient, and understood my vision of the cover, interior and graphics from the beginning. He was very flexible with refining the images to get them just right. I will highly recommend Antonio to anyone looking for design work.

I have used Antonio’s services for logo design and social media artwork for my upcoming book. His creativity and out-of-the-box thinking made him stand out in a crowd of designers. He has also advised me on social media marketing strategies and blogging tools. His suggestions and expertise have led to a significant increase in readership and engagement on my site. I highly recommend Antonio and look forward to using his services again in the future.
