Poetry Book Cover Design

I’ve just finished a collection of poems and now need a striking cover that instantly signals “poetry about friendship.” I picture a photographic approach rather than illustration or heavy graphics—something clean, evocative, and human that invites readers to feel the warmth and intimacy threaded through the verses.

The final art should work for both print and e-book formats, so please allow for a spine and back panel alongside the front. I’ll supply trim size, barcode space, title copy, and blurb once we connect; layered files (PSD or TIFF) plus ready-to-print PDFs will be the expected hand-off.

If you have a portfolio that shows photographic covers—especially for poetry or other literary genres—send over a few samples so I can get a sense of your eye for tone and layout. I’m happy to answer any clarifying questions before we start.
