Front cover
-
-
The essential elements of a front cover include title and author name. Optional elements include the subtitle (if there is one) and photos, background images or graphics.
-
Imagery
Choose a photo, graphic, illustration that will attract your target audience. It needs to communicate what the book is about. Use the visual element to create anticipation, a mood, or expectations.
Typography
-
Tittle
-
Your goal is to use visual elements and design to show potential readers what the book is about and create a feeling in them that gives them a sense of what reading the book will be like.

Back cover
The most important part of the back cover is a description of the book that offers up enough detail to ensure that the shopper can’t say “no” to buying it.
The back cover of a paperback should also include a headshot, your bio and your credentials if the work is academic or professional.
The back cover should also leave room for the International Standard Book Number (or ISBN code) and the barcode that goes with it.
-
Templates
Each print-on-demand publisher provides a unique cover creation template based on the number of pages, color of paper, and trim size their platform requires.
-
A template will highlight the space for the barcode, for the margin around the edges (called the bleed), and leave you with the “safe space,” the usable space for your design.
