Graphic Designer

Join an independent publisher specializing in experimental fiction and poetry to design a compelling book cover for an upcoming short story collection, "Future Perfect." The project centers on creating a visually striking 6" x 9" hardcover dust jacket, using a commissioned photograph of raisin pie as the focal point. The desired aesthetic draws inspiration from New York late-night diners, blending nostalgic ambiance with a modern, literary edge. You will receive high-quality photographs from a dedicated pie photoshoot and an AI-generated concept image to guide the creative direction for the title treatment and overall design.

Deliverables

• Design a full dust jacket cover for a 6" x 9" hardcover book, including front, spine, and back.
• Incorporate provided raisin pie photography as the main visual element.
• Integrate title and author text in a style inspired by New York diner neon signage.
• Ensure the design is print-ready, meeting all technical specifications for professional book printing.
• Collaborate with the publisher to refine the concept and deliver up to two rounds of revisions.
• Deliver final files in required formats (PDF, TIFF, or InDesign package).
