About us

Wir sind eine junger, urbaner und moderner Digitalverlag mit Fokus auf das Belletristische Genre. Unsere Leser sind weiblich, zwischen 25-55 Jahren und lesen im Durchschnitt 20 E-Books im Jahr. Die Ausgabebereitschaft liegt bei 3-6 EUR pro E-Book.

What's your vision?

"Wer liebt, stirbt zweimal" ist ein Krimi der auf der ostfriesischen Insel Langeoog spielt. Auch wenn der Krimi in einer bestimmten Region spielt, soll das Cover nicht zu sehr "Regionalkrimi" ausstrahlen. Trotzdem können markante Eigenschaften einer Nordseelandschaf zu sehen sein, wie Dünen und Meer. Aber dann eher die raue Seite dieser Landschaft. Landschaft ist aber auch kein Muss. Es kann auch rein ästhetisch und geheimnisvoll sein wie unser Titel "Mordsmäßig unverblümt". Findest ihr auf unserer Homepage www.digitalpublishers.de Im Exposé sind einige Gestaltungsidee, die aufgenommen werden können. Es ist aber kein Muss.

Caught - Historical Novel

I wanted to create a cinematic layout that screamed historical romance. The woman was photo manipulated to resemble the characteristics of the heroine and the duel scene at the back cover was created out of different stock elements. I also added some aging effects to the title font to make it look more appropriate for this genre and give a more unique feel to the overall layout.

Book cover for “Help! Ik Verveel Me” by Karin van Driel

Book cover for “Help! Ik Verveel Me” by Karin van Driel

“Help! Ik Verveel Me” (translated from Dutch "Help! I’m bored") is the story about Sarah, an 11 years old girl, and a crazy idea of her parents: a week without a phone. Without it, Sarah doesn't know what to do. But because she is bored, she dreams about so many things and she finds out that a little boredom is not so bad. It makes her creative. The design was made using some of the illustrations of Charmaine Lam, that also appear in the interior of the book. As these illustrations represent drawings as being made by a child, I kept the same style in order to respect the initial vision of the illustrator and the author. I had to dedicate a special attention to all the new elements that were added to the book cover. For that, I followed the same kind of trace and textures of the existing images. However, the colors were slightly intensified to catch the attention of the viewers. The choice of fonts also helped to give a certain “childish style” to the entire design.

Book cover and illustrations for “The Mysterious Fire” by Ieasha Powell

Book cover and illustrations for “The Mysterious Fire” by Ieasha Powell

This is the final result of several projects to produce all the graphic elements for the first book of the “Wonders of Windsor Mystery Series”, which stories talk about the adventures of a small group of children in their hometown. The original characters were designed by Sharad Kumar and Manel Mendoza. The following characters, that appear throughout this story, were created by me with the same technic of the first ones (in Adobe Illustrator). The biggest challenge designing the book cover, but specially when making the illustrations, was to keep faithful to the original style and physiognomy of each character, while putting them in different poses and situations. It was important that they would gain life but still being easily recognized. The other elements of the book, like the symbols of each chapter, as well as the representation of the series, were made following the same graphic line of the logo, that I had previously designed.
