I’m relaunching a stalled book-cover project and need a fresh set of creative eyes. The book is non-fiction, but I want the front to feel light and playful rather than academic. I already have the concept sketched out, the exact back-cover copy, and a clear sense of color palette; what I’m missing is a reliable designer who can turn that vision into production-ready art. Front imagery should be illustration-based—no stock photos this time—so your portfolio should show characterful, lively drawings or graphic illustration work. The trim size is 6×9 inches for print, with standard bleed, and I’ll also need a version that works for an e-book thumbnail. Timing is flexible but I’d like first drafts within two weeks and final files no later than three. My budget is around $125, so please propose a schedule that respects that limit while still allowing for one round of revisions after I see the initial layout. Deliverables I’ll need from you: • Print-ready PDF and high-res JPEG for the full cover (front, spine, back) • Separate front-cover JPEG (for online marketplaces) • Layered source file (PSD or AI) so minor updates can be made later If this sounds like your wheelhouse, let me know how you’d approach the illustration style and your estimated timeline for drafts and hand-off. I’m ready to move quickly once we agree on the direction.

Hello I have read and clearly understood your requirement for a non fiction book cover that feels light, playful, and illustration driven rather than overly academic. Since you already have the concept, color direction, and back cover copy prepared, the key will be translating that vision into a polished, production ready design with strong visual personality and market appeal. I will create a custom illustration based cover using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, focusing on clean composition, engaging typography, and expressive visual elements that work effectively both in print and as a small e book thumbnail. I will design the full wrap including front, spine, and back cover at 6×9 trim size with proper bleed and print specifications, while keeping the style cohesive and visually memorable without relying on stock imagery. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Could you share whether the illustration style should lean more whimsical, minimal, hand drawn, or editorial in tone? Also, do you already have the final page count for accurate spine sizing? I will follow a structured design process beginning with concept sketches and first draft layouts within two weeks, followed by refinement and final production ready delivery within your timeline and budget, including layered editable source files for future updates. Best Regards, Rabia Shaikh
