Visual appeal for an ebook cover is massive. Unless you’re a fan of an author, new authors have to nail the impact of their small inch by millimetres image or risk readers overlooking them without a second look.



Could I have made that opening paragraph any harsher?



Truth be told – if you go looking for advice on covers, you’ll read a pattern of advice about fonts, colours, content, and what may look good on a 27” Mac Screen may look like a trampled omelet when viewed as a thumbnail. If I’m going to crack to the ebook market, then I need to start sourcing designers to add appeal and clarity. Sure – I could do it on my own, or maybe play safe and see how an expert handles my inner thoughts.



One designer who seems to be nailing those images is: Damonza http://damonza.com/



Make no mistake the price-tag for work by them is high, but there is unadulterated quality about the style and presence those covers make in miniature form.



If you’re an ebook cover designer, please tell us about your experience, covers done and a link to your site/portfolio – with general prices.



And if you’ve used someone that you’d like to recommend, please add too!



In fact – if you did a cover yourself – tell us about it.



I’ll do a follow-up post to showcase some that caught my eye.
