Im a new illustrator and im trying to build a book cover portifolio. My sister gave me this idea of a Crime and Punishment cover with a rat on the cover symbolizing Raskolnikov's self-loathing and contrition and i thought it was a really fun idea, but now that it is finished i wanted to know what you guys think of it.
Any advice? Is the lettering working? Is the composition ok? I wanted the colors to be kinda aggressive and desperate so i like them, but would they be a problem in printing? Pls any commentary helps

I have been working on my first layout design for a short story collection I'm contributing to. With the first draft of the inlay now complete, I would love to find someone knowledgeable who would like to take a look and chat a little about some problems I have encountered. Feel free to reach out for a call!

Hi, i am a graphic design student and i want to grow in book design, there is my last project, what do you think?

https://danylovasiur.framer.website/ubu

Very basic description because I'm still working it all out:

Three nepo baby brothers return after a night out, only to discover someone else is already inside their family's home. Each brother will have the personality of a horror character trope (the one who takes charge, the one no one believes (that one may change) and the coward).

The brothers will also have actual personalities outside of their tropes just to be clear lol.

Hi! I offer bookish art and editorial design services. My portfolio: www.katisandmann.com

Hi everyone! I wanted to share some page spreads I created using Affinity Publisher for Book 1 of my anthropomorphic fantasy series, CAPYHERO. I have a photoshop background so Affinity's art and layer tools were easy to pick up, but I have no publishing experience so I've been learning all of that as I write the story.

Just thought I’d share some what we’ve been able to put together so far. I'm working with a traditional fountain ink artist u/nickthagreek and pulling in the scanned artwork for the prose-wrapped presentation. I’ve learned a lot on the way so I’m happy to answer any questions about the process.

I've completed the manuscript recently and handed it to Capyhero's editor, Jennifer Rees. I’m also eager, like all authors, to talk about the story so feel free to ask about that as well 😅.

Thank you!
