Vibrant YA Illustrated Book Cover

I’m ready to give my young-adult novel a striking first impression and need a fully illustrated cover that instantly resonates with teen readers. Think bold colour, strong focal characters or imagery, and typography that feels contemporary without straying into childish-looking territory.

Here’s what I have in mind: one cohesive design covering front, spine and back, supplied in CMYK print-ready PDF as well as high-resolution JPG/PNG for e-book platforms. I’ll also need the layered source file (PSD or AI) so minor copy updates remain easy down the road. If you like to mock up a couple of rough concepts first, even better—I’m happy to give quick feedback so we can lock the direction before you move to final art.

Please bring your own illustrative flair, whether that’s hand-drawn, digital painting or a vector style; the key is a vibrant, polished finish that will stand out on both shelves and thumbnails. If you have previous YA covers or comparable work, feel free to share—seeing your style helps me gauge the fit.

Once approved, I’ll add the ISBN, blurb and any publisher marks; just leave space for those placeholders. Looking forward to seeing how you translate the story’s energy into an eye-catching cover.
