Book Cover Designs: Erotic Covers

Erotic Covers


I don't usually do Erotic book cover designs but since it's in demand lately, I guess why not! Here are some I've done so far.

BookCover Designs: Arelia LaRue Series by Kira Saito

Arelia LaRue Series by Kira Saito:



This is the first series I did covers for and I only recently did the 4th one. Looking for the right background that will match the books content was difficult but I managed it and we've been using it to keep the covers uniformed. I only did eBook covers for these books, there are no plans for paperbacks just yet. 


Look out for more covers!

Book Cover Designs & More: Inkspell Publishing

Inkspell Publishing 


I did a blog layout for the founder of Inkspell Publishing, Shilpa and after that she asked me to join the Inkspell team as a designer. Honestly, I couldn't be any happier. I love working with IS and it has helped me jump start my career. I've done a lot of designs for IS. Starting from Cover Designs, to Banners, Textboxes, Stationery like Business Cards, Letterheads, the logos, the catalog designs, bookmarks and everything else that comes with books. I even do ARC cover designs for a small price.

Starting from above, Always You was the first cover I did for Inkspell, and one of the few that I loved. Our philosophy at IS is that we try to keep the book cover design as true to the book as possible. We get a long tremendously because we share the same insight. I've read Always You and the cover fits the story well. 

Call of the Sea on the other, I haven't read but I've enjoyed making such a fun cover. From what I've read of the book, the contents are colorful and fun and hence the book cover should be too but with a pirate flavor.


The books as prints.


Familiar Ties was the hardest cover I've done for Inkspell. No matter what I did in the beginning I couldn't get the feel of the cover right. But at the end I did it with the help of some bystanders. 

Hollywood Ever After was fun to design as well. I love how it turned out. The bookmarks of these can be found in a link at the bottom! As for the print covers, they are as follows: 



Shadow of the Witte Wieven was my first urban fantasy book cover! I tried something new with The Carny and used different resources. More prints below:




These I've posted up already. I've already read both of them and have Want paperback designed and bought. TMDY by Cecilia Rober is only available as an eBook. Want as a print:





Now for some Banners I've designed for the Inkspell Website and some flyers for promotional sake






New Book Cover Designs: Spellbound Trilogy by Nikki Jefford

Spellbound Trilogy: 



This is a YA Paranormal series, that I have yet to read. I enjoyed working with Nikki on realizing her concepts for the covers of the books. I focused mainly on ensuring that the contents of the book matched the cover as much as it looked good.

I first started out with eBook Covers then moved to bookmarks and then going off to print covers as shown below. As usual, eBook covers and bookmarks come first then when the Author is ready, Print covers come in! Currently, we only have one bookmark design for the series. These are mainly for giveaways and all that. It was nice when a few got sent over to me as well. 



The prints came back looking fantastic, as you can see above. I'm thrilled to have these in my hands. All my hard work and Nikki's were for something grand! 

Look out for more covers. I'll be updating with some more.
