Although some book covers are made with simple images or even just a single photograph can still efficiently deliver what the book is about, there is, most of the time, a whole complex brainstorming and designing process behind. That’s because the design process follows a list of steps, such as what needs to be done when designing a book, whether it is the cover or the inside layout. To start designing a book, below are ideal options for you:

• Having a discussion with the author: To have a clear idea of how the book design will look like, and how you can convey the whole mood of the story to the readers.
• Figuring out where the book will be sold: In order to decide on the format, printed or ebook. The design for the ebook version will likely have a small difference compared to the printed one , in the tone of color, the size of the object in the design, etc.
• Determining on what needs to be focused on in the design: what needs to be emphasized and in which way readers can understand what the book will bring.
• Choosing the design style in terms of the graphics, the fonts, the color scheme, etc. for the most effective and eye-catching design as much as possible.
