KDP Cookbook Cover & Ebook
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a print-ready, full-wrap paperback cover for an 8.5" x 11" cookbook (178 pages, full colour) and a coordinating Kindle front cover. The theme is an anti-inflammatory cookbook for beginners over 50, so the design must feel bright, clean and instantly appetizing—on par with the best-selling titles already ranking on Amazon.
What I will supply
• The full title, subtitle and back-cover copy
• Brand colour references
• High-resolution professional food photos
• A detailed Cover-Brief.
What I need from you
• CMYK PDF at 300 DPI built precisely on KDP’s official template (back, spine, front)
• RGB JPG for the Kindle edition
• Editable source file (Adobe or Affinity are both fine)
Acceptance criteria
1. Layout aligns 100 % with the KDP template for 8.5" x 11", 178 pages.
2. Colours stay within CMYK gamut for print and convert cleanly to sRGB for digital.
3. Text is legible at thumbnail size, with the title remaining dominant.
4. Final files pass KDP’s online preview without warnings.
Please include a link to cookbook or other KDP covers you’ve designed and confirm you’ve previously delivered files through KDP’s cover calculator/template system. If additional stock imagery would enhance the result, mention that as an option—but my supplied photos should remain the primary visuals.
Let’s create a cover that looks perfectly at home on page one of Amazon’s anti-inflammatory cookbook results.
