In October, I opened a shop of book cover art—Nuanc Book Designs—on Etsy. “Eye Contact,” pictured on the left, is the latest offering.
Designing the covers for The Speculative Elements Series from Third Person Press and its upcoming ghost story anthology, Grey Area, has been a pleasure for me. Because I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback on them, it was only natural for me to design more and more! The Etsy shop is the result of all this creative overflow.
Designing covers is a great way for me to meld several of my interests: photography, digital art, drawing, lay-out. And fonts, of course. I’m genuinely font-obsessed. I use my photographs for most of the covers, though this latest one is a departure from that. It’s an original drawing of mine.
Each cover comes in a front cover only Ebook or full cover Print and Ebook versions.
Once a cover has been purchased, it’s retired from the collection.
Take a look at the shop and do come back often if you don’t see something that fits your book. New ones pop up frequently.
Happy 2013!
