Fire Bond

A few weeks ago we set about designing some flyers for a colleagues book. Which, after he saw them were then used as the book cover. Today we got a sample of the printed flyers given to us! 

Have a look at and let us know what you think!



I designed these myself using Indesign. The first step is finding out what the client wants. After having a chat with him I found out he had already designed a book cover himself and wanted a few designs, one based on the cover he already had and one or two more created from scratch. 

 

I gathered all the information I could; epilogues, summaries, covers, amazon reviews etc and set about creating a few designs that reflected the book's dark fantasy and romance theme. After sending the first draft of the designs over we discussed changes such as fonts, QR codes and image colours. I then went back to the design the client had chosen and went through the changes we had discussed.




Throughout the design process I would mock up the double sided flyers to check that everything worked together and fit the scaling correctly and that the design flowed nicely from back to front.

After the flyer design had been finished and sent off, the client came back to us asking if he could use the artwork for the book cover as well. We of course, said yes and worked with him to adjust the existing artwork to fit a book cover.

You can buy Fire Bond on Amazon here. We recommend you do its a great read.
