Book Jacket Design

We were required to design a book jacket of our own, and I've chosen a simple Japanese novel as my base.

This is how the book jacket looks like:

Front Cover. The art is drawn using Photoshop. The title of the book "kono ai wa tsubasa ga nai" translates to "This Love has No Wings". The author of the book "suzukaze ai" is my Japanese pen name.

Back cover. Kadokawa is an actual publishing company in Japan that publishes all kinds of books from novels, to magazines and to comics. The summary is actually just dummy text.

The about author page that is printed in the inside flap. Author's profile image is drawn by me, Lapis Lazuli from the cartoon series Steven Universe.
T
This is the spine of the book.
How the final book jacket looks like:

width: 50.1 cm
height: 20.4 cm
