Your book cover design FAQs, answered.
What will I get?
All necessary files for production will be provided. Your cover design will be uploaded in the appropriate formats for printing or submission to an online publishing platform, or both.
Your chosen designer will deliver a production-ready Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, PDF, or EPS file. They will also provide visual mockups in PNG or JPG format for web use.
Additionally, you will receive full legal copyright ownership of the design, ensuring it belongs solely to you.
Should I run a Design Context or work directly with a freelance designer
In a design contest, global designers submit unique concepts tailored to your brief. You select finalists, provide feedback to refine designs, and choose the winning packaging design. If you value diverse ideation and exposure to various design styles, a design contest is recommended.
Conversely, if you have a defined style in mind or need comprehensive design services (such as developing an entire product line), starting a project with a freelance designer may be more suitable.
What do I need to prepare for my book cover design context?
Lots of ideas! If you’re looking for inspiration, explore ideahits for fantastic examples of product labels created by our design community.
Bring as many specifics as you can, too, like book cover dimensions, printing requirements and the information that needs to go on the front and back covers of your book.
For the front cover this usually includes title, author’s name, subtitle, tagline, imagery and a quote. For the back cover you may need an ISBN number, blurb, author’s biography and a quote.
The more you give the designers, the better they can design for you!
Can I use my own images on my book cover?
If you have specific photography or images that you want included on your book cover design, please include them when submitting your brief to designers.
By default, designers may use stock images (purchased from third parties) in your design unless otherwise specified. If stock art is used, designers will disclose which images they’ve used and provide watermarked versions in their entries. Upon selecting the winning design, you’ll be required to purchase the stock art and provide it to the designer to finalize the design.
Do you create eBook cover?
Absolutely! You can have a physical book cover designed, an ebook cover, or both. Just make sure to specify your requirements in the brief.
Will I get the right files to publish my book via Lightning Source or Amazon Create Space?
Absolutely. Our talented designers are experienced in creating book cover designs for all the popular publishing services. Be sure to include this information in your brief so designers know the specifications to follow. If you haven’t decided which service you’ll use, you can always update your brief later.
What element usually go on the back cover of paperback book?
The back cover of a paperback book typically includes the blurb, author’s biography, and a quote.
What element usually go on the front cover of paperback book?
The front cover of a paperback book typically features the title, author’s name, subtitle, tagline, imagery, and a quote.
Can I work with my designer once my contest ends?
Absolutely (and we love it when that happens)! Once your book cover design contest is complete, you can start a 1-to-1 project with your winning designer.
How do I calculate the spine width of my book?
Publishers typically provide spine width calculators on their websites for self-publishers. If you know which publisher you’ll be using, we recommend visiting their website for more information.
I need the interior of my book designed too. Can you help?
Do you offer typesetting design service?
Typesetting, also known as book layout, refers to the arrangement of text and images on the interior pages of a book. This includes headers, footers, and the main content of each page.
If you’re interested in typesetting for your book, we recommend selecting a professional designer from our expert designer list and requesting their services for your project.
Which package should I choose for my book cover design context?
We guarantee a great book cover design at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages offer more design options and enhanced support.
Here’s how it works: Higher payments increase the prize for the winning designer, attracting more experienced designers to participate in your contest. This results in more high-quality designs to choose from, which may require additional time to review. To streamline this process, our Gold and Platinum packages include dedicated managers who assist with writing creative briefs and providing feedback to designers.
When choosing your book cover contest package, consider how much time you have and your experience in writing briefs and working with designers. If you’re unsure, contact us for a design consultation.
Who owns what copy write and when?
On idehits, designers agree to upload only original artwork, which means each designer retains ownership rights to their submissions until you select the contest winner. During the cover design handover stage, the designer agrees to transfer these rights to you, making you the sole owner of the copyright for your winning book cover design.
How can I protect my design context with an NDA?
Before launching your book cover design contest, select “Make your contest private” in the Contest options section. This ensures that designers cannot use their designs elsewhere, and your contest will not be searchable on the web.
By choosing this option, a standard NDA template will be automatically applied to your contest. Alternatively, you can upload your own NDA if preferred.
Is there really a 100% money back guarantee?
We provide a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment for all Book Cover Design Contests, except those with a guaranteed prize or those in the Final Round. You can also reach out to us anytime for assistance with revising your brief, reopening your project for better results, and selecting a winning design.
Please remember, if we refund your contest, you are not legally permitted to use any of the designs submitted.
