Minimalist Novel Cover Design
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I have a completed manuscript that now needs a striking, minimalist cover to help it stand out both online and on bookstore shelves. I’ll provide the title, subtitle, author name, back-cover copy, and a brief plot synopsis so you can capture the right mood.
What I’m after
• A clean, modern design that relies on thoughtful typography and restrained graphic elements rather than detailed illustration or photography.
• Print-ready artwork for a standard 6"×9" paperback (front, spine, back) plus an e-book version sized for major platforms.
• Final files delivered as a high-resolution PDF for print, a JPEG/PNG for digital use, and the layered source file (Adobe InDesign or Illustrator preferred) so I can make future updates if needed.
Acceptance criteria
• All text clearly legible at thumbnail size.
• Colors set to CMYK for print and RGB for e-book.
• 300 dpi resolution with correct bleed and margin settings.
If you have experience creating minimalist covers for fiction and can turn this around quickly, I’d love to see a small portfolio sample or two and discuss next steps.
