#401 – Designing Book Covers for the Digital Reader with Jake Clark

In this episode, we are joined by cover designer Jake Clark, founder of J Caleb Design. Jake has designed over 2000+ covers since 2014, and projects featuring his work have collectively sold over 4 million copies. His cover design ethos revolves around creating "badass covers for badass stories," and that couldn't be more accurate! Jake's covers are bold, exciting, and propulsive, and we were so excited to sit down with him and talk about all things cover design. We ask Jake about his career as a cover designer, his cover design process, how he uses 3D modeling in his design process, what authors can do when collaborating with cover designers, what authors shouldn't do when working with cover designers, what makes a successful cover, and more!
