Inkshares Community discussion

Post here if you are currently (or in the future might be) willing to help an author redesign their cover for free.

It doesn't have to be a final-draft level of work, just a step up from whatever they might have!

If you have an example of a cover, poster, etc that you've already designed, be sure to post it. Mention whether or not you're able to do artwork, or only graphic design.

Authors we select for our collective efforts should be able to choose whom they'd like to work with (if more than one person is available), since not everyone's design work will fit with every book. And that's okay!

Note: These covers are only for promotional purposes, not for the final product. Quill doesn't include cover design, so if this arrangement results in a cover an author really does want to use for publication, they must work out the details for payment with their designer.

It is disrespectful to steal artwork to use for these covers. Don't do it.

*raises hand* I'm available for graphic design. I'm not a pro, but I like well-made covers and do my best to have the things I make be at a professional level.

I would be definitely willing to do this. I use high-rez royalty free images for covers that are primarily typographically-focused.

I have helped a couple authors with their covers already:

(Note: I bought the image on this cover, so I can reuse it for other covers if people like it.)

As well as doing the initial cover for my first Inkshares project: https://www.inkshares.com/projects/sh...

Contact me for covers. I've been designing for a very long time and I have access to certain resources (camera, actors etc) that I make use of from time to time for different projects. check out my cover for my novel for a good sample of my work: www.inkshares.com/projects/so-you-mig...

I'm willing to help out with this.
