I FOUND A THING

So I love making book covers for fanfic I read, largely so that my shelves on Calibre have some variation to them just at a glance. One of my favorite ways to implement specific art for a fic is by using it in a cover modeled after the Penguin Paperback Classics. However, I never wanted to have the "Penguin Classics" label and the Penguin logo, because...well, because it's not Penguin.

But I still want that look, so what I've done with mine is replace "Penguin Classics" with "Archive Classics" (as in Archive of Our Own), and replaced the Penguin logo with the AO3 logo (which you can download as a PNG or SVG on Wikimedia). All variants that use the Penguin orange somewhere in the design I've replaced with the color on the AO3 logo (HEX #990000, for anyone curious). I've spent many hours manually sizing fonts and graphics and such, comparing one thing to another and having varying amounts of satisfaction with my results from project to project. I'm anal like that, and if it's a millimeter off from where it needs to be, I notice it and it's always the first thing I see later, so I try to get it as exact as possible.

But now, in another one of my link-hopping search journeys, I found the exact dimensions needed! And I'm so excited I have to share it with anyone who might see this, so if you already know about it, hush—this isn't for you.

On Jim Stoddart's website (the art director at Penguin Books), there's a section that shows the design specifications for a bunch of styles that are used with their publishing. The one I want to draw your attention to is the Penguin Classics (the 2019 template redesign).

Not only is there the specifications for all three sides of the design, but also for alternative titling layouts for both the cover and the spine. There's even a basic grid layout without all the example text/graphics, so it's easy to build off of.

I've included the images mentioned below the cut, but if you're interested in more of this kind of thing, you should also check out the pages for the Penguin Modern Classics, Little Black Classics, Penguin 'AL' Paperbacks, Lines, and the Archive. I'm obsessed and amazed I haven't found these before.

Also, if anyone is interested in my version of the template, here's the PNG version of it, which you can place over the top of your chosen art/picture, before adding the title and author on top of that. For the measurements to be accurate, the dimensions of your final cover should come out to be 1524 × 2339 px, so adjust accordingly.

I hope this is of use to someone else too, and if not, I hope y'all can appreciate my excitement for this!

Some book design mockups I did just for fun. Its been raining for past week and it really puts me on a very romantic mood so I conceptualized some front and back covers for non existent books heavily inspired by Voltes V Legacy which is currently my favorite local TV Show.

These designs are done using only my phone.

Apps used: Infinite Painter, Adobe Photoshop Mobile (Discontinued) and PixelLab. Book shots is done through Mediamodifier.

My Gol Hah Dov book project!

@99corentine

I have an enthusiasm for hardbound books and decided I want to turn Gol Hah Dov into a physical book.

I wanted to share with you the final project as well as my design inspiration and thoughts:

Cover design I wanted a hardbound book, with cloth and foil inlay like the mockup I made below. I modeled book 1 after Chrysanthe and drew a chrysanthemum for the cover as well as a blue and gold colour scheme.

The inspiration for the border comes from the skyrim artbook as well as the in-game "book of the dragonborn" The dovahzul in the frame is Miraak's quote from the dlc "The first Dragonborn meets the Last Dragonborn at the summit of Apocrypha" (or at least the first few words because I ran out of space, but it's the thought that counts.)

I chose some of my favourite parts of the story to use for key illustrations.

They are:

Chry meets Miraak in Apocrypha for the first time and a mute Miraak slams the wall while Chry is looking for him in the dark (I need more romance to be introduced as horror, thank you)

Chry meets Partysnax, I think you wrote him very true to character (and maybe I just wanted to draw the old boy)

Chry sets Miraak free by using the gol hah dov shout on him and beats Mora's ass with the rueful axe, I loved how all the little plot points came together for this one. ( the shout breaking mind control, the axe cutting a daedric prince, the hints of Mara assisting Chry, you are a genius)

Storm call dragon fight! I always thought storm call is such an OP ability if it would exist irl and is one of the shouts that really shows the power of a dragonborn. And you made them do it twice, such a great moment.

Chry communicating with Mora underwater. One of the best moments, and also my favourite drawing. Also just for fun here are the horrible thumbnails of the art:

Each chapter also has a Chry-inspired decal. I used chrysanthemums for him as well as using the design for Mara from the game, and the main mission quest marker from the journal:

The thumbnails:

The final ones used:

Each chapter has the number in english and the name of the chapter in dovazhul just for fun.

The sketches through the book I initially wanted to make in the style of skyrim concept art, like so:

But the style of the concept art and the style of the book was a bit too different and I felt it didn't look good with the use of red colours so I ended up with a more loose b+w style like the Teldryn one.

For the chapters where you had translations at the end I wanted to make a little dictionary design:

I based this design off the in-game miscellaneous quest markers.
