Designing a book cover requires more than just knowing how to design stuff. For example; to create the most appropriate and relevant book cover designs, you will have to understand the book first. And if it requires you to read it till the last word too, then that’s something that you will have to do so that you can ensure that whatever you are going to be creating goes with the contents of the book. So, let’s go step by step to understand the entire process of how to design a book cover for yourself or one of your clients. Make sure that you guys read the blog till the end to know more and design even better!

Get to know the book: As we have mentioned above, getting to know the book would be the first step to designing the book cover but if you can’t read the book due to confidentiality reasons, etc. then you would like to have detailed conversations with the client to understand the themes of the book. By doing so, you will be able to think about the design elements that can be worked on for the book cover designs.

Understand the target audience: Designing a book cover is one thing but doing so while keeping in mind the target audience is something that will help you in more than one way. For example; when you know the demographics of the target audience, you will be able to pick the very elements that a certain group of people can resonate with. Also, the book cover designs that you are going to design for kids would be different from the book covers that you will design for young adults, right? So, it is always a good idea to know and understand the target audience way before you even start working on your rough sketches for the book cover designs.

Research to know what’s happening around you: One of the most effective ways to create unique designs is to know what’s happening around you. What we mean to say is that you should know what the competitors are doing – be it yours or your clients. By doing so, you will be able to not only bring something more interesting to the table than what’s already there but you will also get to know about the latest design trends, etc. as well which will help you stay ahead in the game. This step is especially crucial when you are working on generic genres and themes such as learning books for kids and more.

Incorporate typography into your book cover designs: Typography matters more than you think it does – especially when you are working on book cover designs so make sure that you make the most of it as it will help you reflect the true essence of the book through your designed book cover. And while you are at it, make sure that everything that will go on the book cover has to be super legible and exciting to look at. You can also test your designs by sharing the book cover with your friends and potential readers.
