cover design for Vertebrae. Can you provide any feedback?

Any thoughts or feedback you have to offer would be greatly appreciated.

It's a sci-fi comedy:
Vertebrae: A suggestible man discovers a talking skull and spine buried in his backyard and becomes obsessed with fulfilling a cosmic prophecy through a seductive process of degenerative self-improvement.

What app can I use to make the letters stand out?

I've been using Desygner but they don't have the fonts I need to make it look 3d

[Hiring] Need someone who can turn this into actual art, please!

This is for a compilation of 7 stories. This would be the second volume in the series. The other artist ghosted me. I would share all the files from the first volume's cover if you accepted, in order to create a semi consistent style.

This cover includes many characters doing different things around the same building. Main colors are red, blue, and yellow. I have a design doc that I would also send you for more info.

If you reply, kindly give me multiple examples of very different art styles you do.

Price is negotiable, but I'm willing to go up to $500. So, that's my ceiling. May take a few tweaks or revisions to get it right.

Thank you for your time!

Book cover designers: Blowing up book covers for posters

For anyone who has illustrated a cover using raster art and an illustration tablet like Wacom, this question is for you! I am a graphic designer who is self publishing my YA fantasy novel. I'm also illustrating the cover using Photoshop. If the cover is 6x9, and I want to use this cover art for a promo poster on foamcore (18x27 inches), I know I can't design at 18x27 and expect a small file or fast processing speeds. Is there a workaround? Work at 120%? Or do most cover designers simply design at 100% size? (I normally don't illustrate book covers, so don't know how big I can go without making Photoshop freeze or work at super slow speeds).

Could I get some feedback on this audiobook cover design please?

The publisher looked at it on her phone and had trouble making heads or tails of what is even pictured here; I've been staring at it for weeks so I could really use some perspective! What sort of story would you guess this to be? What genre? What setting? Can you even figure out what is in the image?!

Hiring Cover Designer (Historical, Supernatural, Gothic, Tragedy)

Hello!

I want to get some copies of my novel draft printed, and need a cover for it. I'm looking for a full wrap cover for a hardback and paperback cover.

My budget is $100

Title: Till Death We're Apart (subject to change)

Story Recap:

In the 1850's, Eleanor and her family move into a countryside manor. The house is haunted by Victoria, a woman who lived in the same home in 1715, and who was murdered by her cult-worshiping husband. Throughout the story, Eleanor goes insane, pushing away from others, including her betrothed and little brother, and drawing her perception of life through Victoria. While she explores the home, she discovers more about Victoria's past and she repeats the tragic story. She ends up killing herself to be with Victoria.

Comment if interested!!

[HIRING] Looking for an artist to who can recreate the below image with better typography

I'll be honest, I made the first image in Canva, and asked *A*I* to sharpen it out of curiosity. The second image is basically exactly what I want, but obviously I want to pay a real artist and not mass-produce non-human content. For typography, I'm just looking for someone who can make the font slightly more romantic, ans have it weave between the tree branches and leaves. I'd also need a minimal (but in the same vein) back cover design so it stays cohesive. This will be a trilogy, so I'll need three covers, but they all have similar color schemes and fruit imagery. I'm releasing my books later this year, but I'm asking now to get a feel for budget and to check availability as I know you guys get booked up in advance. Please let me know if you're able to do this and what your prices are! I'd ideally like them (all 3) finished by August. Must be willing to revist the project when page count is finalized to adjust spine width. Also, if you're someone who can draw assets I can use for marketing and promo, that's a bonus I'll happily pay for! Same goes for concept sketch images to show the process, I know readers find that super interesting.

Budget is $250 per cover (negotiable!) with extra for promo assets 🌸
