- In order for me to do the artwork, you must send me your book covers, including the spine.
Social Media Pack Options
Each Social Media Pack includes a ‘Plain Jane’ theme, which is the only one that has background options. Choose between white, black, or a custom colour. Although the book can be presented on any coloured background, pale pastels or very dark colours work best.
To choose custom colours, please visit, http://htmlcolorcodes.com/. After picking the required colour, copy the ‘Hex’ code (after the # sign). Make sure that you have copied all of the six letters and numbers. Once again, please bear in mind that bright colours can look garish. Do not use the same colour as the cover of your book, or it will disappear into the background. Colour Harmonies or opposites work best, http://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/.
Another option is for the background is shaded, or completely flat. For an idea, please view the samples below. A single image with your books on a transparent background is also available for $20.

3D Book Staging
3D Book Staging
General Info
These 3D Staging for Book Scenes will stage your book in the possible light. 3D Book Staging is designed to be eye-catching, and pique your reader’s curiosity, encouraging them to grab a copy. Your book is fully rendered in a 3D environment, will have reflections, and blend in perfectly.
Choose Your Options
Some 3D Staging Scenes have variable options so check each option carefully for more details. Certain 3D scenes have parts and objects that can be coloured to match your book, and others can have different elements such as the surface or background.
Dark or Light?
If your book has a light cover, a darker scene will showcase it in a more dramatic manner. While many of the examples are on a black or white background, a suitable complementary colour can be applied. Remember to specify which version you prefer for your 3D Book Staging.
Notes:
- To choose custom colours, please visit, http://htmlcolorcodes.com/. After picking the required colour, copy the ‘Hex’ code (after the # sign). Make sure that you have copied all of the six letters and numbers. Once again, please bear in mind that bright colours can look garish. Do not use the same colour as the cover of your book, or it will disappear into the background. Colour Harmonies or opposites work best, http://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/.
- 3D rendering takes a lengthy amount of time depending on the size of the artwork. There is no such thing as a quick change as it means a completely new render. This can take anywhere between 25-45 minutes depending on the complexity of the scene.
- Unless otherwise specified, all these renderings are exported at 1200 by 628 pixels. This is the correct Facebook ‘large image post’ size, and it also works well with Twitter.
- In order to create these 3D Book Staging Scenes, the complete cover, including the spine, must be supplied. If you only have an eBook cover, please discuss with me about having a dummy spine created.
- You must provide any custom fonts that are to be used in the 3D Book Staging. You must also ensure that you have the rights to use these fonts. If unspecified, I make use of fonts released as freeware.
- All artwork can be provided with or without text. Text styles and fonts to be discussed in advance.

Headers and Site Graphics
Social Media, Site Headers and Graphics
General Info
Good graphics are key to any successful website or social media page. Whether you need Site Headers, branding, or other graphic work, I can help you. Not all types of graphics are illustrated on this page, so feel free to discuss your specific requirements with me.
Original Graphics
If I have the original documents for your book with separate layers to work with, I can recreate an artwork similar to those shown below. For good Site Headers, all the elements need to be positioned for maximum impact and visibility.
New 3D Scene
Site graphics can also be created from a 3D scene as the ones shown in the section on Book Staging. Please note that the prices on this page for 3D work are when making use of an existing model. For custom work, please discuss it with me.
Notes:
- To choose custom colours, please visit, http://htmlcolorcodes.com/. After picking the required colour, copy the ‘Hex’ code (after the # sign). Make sure that you have copied all of the six letters and numbers. Once again, please bear in mind that bright colours can look garish. Do not use the same colour as the cover of your book, or it will disappear into the background. Colour Harmonies or opposites work best, http://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/.

- In order to create these 3D scenes, the complete cover, including the spine, must be supplied. If you only have an eBook cover, please discuss with me about having a dummy spine created.
- The final artwork is optimised to fit around your profile image so important aspects are not concealed under the ‘like’ buttons, for example.
- You must provide any custom fonts that are to be used in the artwork. You must also ensure that you have the rights to use these fonts. If unspecified, I make use of fonts released as freeware.
- All artwork can be provided with or without text. Text styles and fonts to be discussed in advance.
- Headers are provided at the required size for either social media, or your website such as a WordPress installation.

My Fees
With the ‘Book Based Graphics’ option, I will take your originals (if you have the layered document or if I have designed your cover), and rearrange them to suit the new landscape shape of Site Headers.
With the ‘3D Based Graphics’ option, I will create a 3D scene for your header based on one of my existing models. While almost any of them can be used, not all of them are suitable or even logical.
Please keep in mind that these images are best kept simple and to the point. Put the rest of your text in the body or your website.
