Question 1

What is book design?

Accepted Answer

Book designers take the manuscript of the author(s) and organize it all into readable sections, chapters, and pages.

Question 2

What about a book cover for a comissioned book?

Accepted Answer

My practice is to use bookcloth or special artist papers for the covers of books with a title appearing on the spine and/or the cover. If you want an illustrated image to adorn the cover, please email me your thoughts and we can collaborate together on a design or bring in another graphic designer who specializes in this art.
