Publishing a book is an ambition of all writers. Your aspiration of self-publishing a book can also be accomplished with the direct involvement of a London-based book design agency like White Magic Studios, renowned for their one-stop self-publishing services. Whether you choose to print the book or to publish it on Kindle Amazon publishing, the agency can provide you services accordingly.
Look for a self-publishing studio that boasts the presence of the versatile professionals onboard, ready to provide the best self-publishing support from children’s book illustration services to book cover designing, book layout designing, editing, eBook converting and many more.
When you approach a book design agency to design your book cover for self-publishing, these are some ways that they can help you—
Book cover design for eBook
Whether you decide to publish the book on Kindle or any digital platform or are eager to print it and launch the hard copies of the book, make sure you need an artistically designed cover design that will justify the plot and will also introduce the characters.
You must agree with the saying “Don’t judge the book by its cover”. Unfortunately, today, most readers are doing the opposite and mostly the purchase the book if the cover design can impress them. For the sake of improving the sales figure, you just need to go with the trend and let a professionally skilled graphic artist exhibit their creativity while penning the cover design for your eBook.
The expert can also help you with PPC marketing and other promotional activities to enhance the popularity of the newly published book on Amazon or any other platform you choose to sell the book.
Cover design for Paperback & Hard Copy
At any self publishing agency, you can connect with a highly skilled artist whom you can appoint to cover designing the paperback and hard copies of the printed book. Unlike the eBook, the involvement of the readers with the physical copy of the book is more intense. Thus, the artists have to go a step forward to designing the three-layered cover including the font, back and spiral of the book.
By hiring a genre-expert book cover designer, half of the problem will be resolved as the designer knows the trending cover designs of the genre and what they need to add or eliminate from the cover to drive more readers to purchase the book after picking it up from the shelves.
If you decide to launch a trailer of the book then also the involvement of these cover designers is equally necessary. You can also let the agency create a short animated trailer for the new book. From promotional activities to marketing you should know how to use it to educate more target audience about the newly launched book. Most self-published authors involve their book cover designers to involve in promotional activities to create an instant impact on the audio-visual trailer. Also the smartly designed cover of the book entices the interested readers to buy the book immediately.
Creative book layout designing
Uniquely designed creative book layout lures readers as well. Besides the perfect amalgamation of the colour combination of the cover designs and the magnetic typography, the layout has an impression to create on the readers.
Hire a talented book layout design to give the perfect shape to your thriller, romance or sci-fi book. The designer can do the best for the book whether you decide to print hard copies or paperbacks.
Follow the trends
The present trend in book layout designing is focused more on silhouettes, minimalism, AI-driven designs, bold typographies, blurry covers, illustrations, collages and maximalism. Ask your designer to follow the trend for the sake of improving the sales quotient.
Whether you publish the book on any digital platform or paperbacks, create an attractive cover design and book layout considering the age group of your reader. For instance, make proper use of illustrations on the cover with cute animals for a children’s book. Again for an adult romance, you can get ideas from the latest book covers of Lolita, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy, and so on.
