Approach
Claire will send you a google form to fill out questions relating to your book so that she can gather all the relevant information about your brief before forming a quote and timeline (ensuring everyone knows by what dates each thing will be delivered).
*If you want anything printed, please ensure that you have the cover template generated correctly by the indie publishing site of your choice (E.g. IngramSpark), or in the case of merch or other assets, that you have the correct sizes and specifications needed (e.g. 500x500pixels, or 5cm x 7cm).
Claire will then send you the quote and timeline and discuss the brief as needed until both parties are satisfied that everything needed is organised (this discussion will be by email, so that a written record of all your requests etc, are there for future reference).
You will then receive a Terms of Service document to let you know what rights we both have in the process that you will then sign if you agree (e.g. covers instances of potential refunds).
You will then receive a Paypal invoice to pay, the prices quoted are in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Claire will send you the agreed upon number of "concepts", after which you can give your feedback and choose which direction to go for the final design(s). The concepts are a rough indication of what the final idea will become, such as a sketch or rough mockup.
Claire will then send you the finished assets by the agreed upon timeline.
You will have an agreed upon number of "edit rounds" included in your initial price, after which you can opt to pay for more edits if needed. This is to ensure that editing stages remain reasonable. You can ask for changes to characters/colours/type etc, at this stage to ensure you're fully satisfied.

Specialty
Claire has a qualified background in design spanning print, digital, social media and web, and in this instance, is applying this to book design and promotion. Claire brings her experience in working with marketing and social media ads in her day job to the world of indie book design and promotion, so that we can bring your book’s world to life.
This includes cover design, prepared for print using industry standard programs, wrap around covers, setting up for special effects printing (e.g. spot foils, UV etc,), book jackets, and any other printed merch such as stickers, bookmarks etc,.
Claire also specialises in digital assets, including creating animations, which can be an animated version of your existing cover, or an animated artwork that promotes your book (e.g. featuring characters or scenery that are evocative of your book). This includes minor copy for the "call to action" such as "Out now on Kindle Unlimited". These animations are currently "reel sized" so as to suit the current standard sizing for social media reels on mobile phones.
