As a book cover designer, I create visual representations of other people’s words for a living. Like all artistic translations, this can be an elusive pursuit—but it’s almost always a rewarding one. My goal is always to make something beautiful and eye-catching, but also to capture the specific editorial vision for each cover. It is immensely gratifying when those two elements can fit hand in hand. Last year, I was tasked with designing the cover for Sunshine State.
