How to Design a Book Cover for Print

Designing a book cover might seem complicated, but the technical aspects are actually much easier than you’d think. Once you learn how to use and place guides, you’ll be making book covers in no time.

Of course books come in all different sizes, but with guides, you can design a cover at any size, for any book, with minimal variations. The guides are used for bleed, trim, fold (if any) and margins (safe areas) of our book cover.
