JOB OVERVIEW

I'm an indie author looking for someone I'd love to work with for future projects. This first project is a shorter test project to see whether we're a good fit. Please include a portfolio link including actual book covers.

UPDATE: Please note for efficiency I will unfortunately need to simply pass over applications which lack relevant portfolio samples without response.

This project is for a minimalist literary science fiction book cover with absolutely *no* AI-generated artwork. This would be for both an ebook cover (EPUB) and paperbook wrap.

This project is for original, human-created artwork. Please do not submit AI-generated artwork or AI-assisted image generation. I'm happy to work from stock textures or reference images, but the final artwork should be created by you.

Please include examples of your previous work and briefly describe your design process.

I'm looking for a modern, elegant, bookstore quality cover. Authors whose books exemplify the desired aesthetic:

- Ted Chiang
- Emily St. John Mandel
- Becky Chambers

Concept already developed.

I will provide:

- detailed creative brief
- composition ideas
- color palette
- reference images

Need:

- ebook cover
- paperback wrap
- layered source files (PSD, AI, Affinity, etc.) in addition to the final cover
