Cover design

In a recent study released, there are on average more than 1,000,000 books published worldwide every year. With all that competition it seems that authors are doomed to have their books sitting on store shelves collecting dust. Enter design. Like it or not, people judge your book by its cover! Part of the joy of owning new books is the aesthetic beauty of a perfectly made book. You don't want to ruin that experience for your readers with an unattractive cover. Few books survive on the writing alone especially that of a new author. For a book to move off the shelves, it has to BEG readers to pick it up and demand their attention. Something different. Something new or just something that demands a second look.
There is a lot more to choosing your cover art than just finding a picture and superimposing some text. The three most important elements of a good cover are:

Cover art: It actually says a great deal about a book, its genre and theme.
Title: A catchy title and an explanatory sub-title can set the theme and expectation.
Blurb: Blurbs are reviews, teaser passages (usually found on the first page inside the front cover) and plot summaries (usually found on the back cover). For a first time author reviews are not possible but teasers and plot summary are valuable as they provide a taste of the writer's prose style and a brief preview of what one can expect when reading the book.

We offer you different levels of cover design depending on your preference and budget:

Level 1

Here you provide us with the details of the book (theme, genre, summary etc.) and a cover image, and we design the cover around it. One round of minor modifications is accepted e.g. font, font colour and image placement.
Charges for this are INR 1500

Level 2

Here you provide us with the details of the book (theme, genre, summary etc.) and a cover image. We’ll give you two concepts based on the image. You can choose one and we will incorporate one round of minor modifications in font, font colour and image placement.
Charges for this are INR 2500

Level 3

This includes Level one. You may give an image for this level or leave the choice to us. We’ll give you two distinct concepts to choose from. Two rounds of modifications will be incorporated, if required.
Charges for this are INR 4000

Level 4

This is where you have a completely customized cover. We’ll give you up to 4 concepts and 5 rounds of modifications. You can opt for purchased stock photos, custom photos or illustrations.
Charges for design for this level are INR 6000.
Charges for stock photos, custom photos or illustrations will be as applicable.

Apart from the cover image you’ll have to provide an author photo, blurb, barcode, ISBN, logo if any and anything else you want to put on the cover.
