EXPLAINED: Front, Back & Spine Design

The Look of Your Book was created to help you remove all of the errors on your book cover.

  • You might have some questions, such as:

    • How can I make sure my design is centered?
    • What color palettes should I use for my niche?
    • How do I calculate the width of my spine?
    • What information should I put on my back cover? 
    • (Bonus: 1 free book cover critique)

You've tried everything to make your cover better...

But no matter how hard you tried, it was like your book didn't even exist.

And so you made another cover.

‍And that, too, fell into the void of the millions of other ignored books. You KNEW something was missing - that your cover didn't have that professional look. But you didn't know what else to do.

So you gave up prematurely and made another book - hoping that one would sell better.

And so the vicious cycle continued…

How important is a pro cover in book promotion?

Think about it this way - 60% of ALL digital marketing gets ENTIRELY ignored!

Why? Well, to keep it simple, it's because of peripheral vision. If your book fulfills a customers need, their peripheral vision will automatically detect this before they decide to look at it.

A professional cover can trigger that because of the layout. Text size, balance, and contrast are extremely important! If you want to do it yourself quickly & inexpensively, The Look of Your Book makes that possible.

Getting to 25,000 Sales

I used to create covers that weren't very good, either.
Learning book cover design was the hardest part of self-publishing for me. I read a lot about it, and analyzed thousands of covers to learn about underlying patterns and how to replicate them. Eventually, after years of study, I began to successfully repeat those patterns. That led me to sell over 25,000 books and eventually creating a system of layout templates for the front, back, and spine designs to help other people painlessly repeat those patterns, too.

So here’s the secret I discovered — it's about your text layout — Of course, it helps if you use proper contrast and a background that isn’t poorly photoshopped. But at the end of the day, you can make a book cover “look like a real book” if you focus on book cover typography layouts before anything else. This includes the back cover and spine too.

Feel free to reach out for any other questions. No question is too simple or too complicated when it comes to book cover design!
