Hi there. My name is James, I'm the guy that makes all the book cover designs and runs this site. I've been a freelance graphic designer for the last twenty-five years (yes I'm getting long in the tooth), and I've been designing book covers for the last few years, much to my own amusement. Oh, and that photo is a bit of an old one, maybe from 2005. But I like it, it makes me look cool!
So more about me. I'm originally from the North-east of England but I now live in Barcelona, Spain. Where I read, write, dance, cry, cook, hike, ramble on, sing, make lovely mixtapes for authors, occasionally paint, and yeah, that's right — make book covers.
What else? I have a facetious sense of humour, but I guess you can see that from the way I title some of my dummy covers. I am brutally honest but mean nothing by it. I do good manners but I don't do insincere politeness. I'm a friendly, helpful sort of chap. And I'm libertine at heart, although it's fair to point out that I am post-political and post-religious.
Oh, and I hates me some Adobe products, so I design in a little-known vector app called Xara Designer Pro.
I love fonts. I adore colours.
Any more questions, well just ask, I'm an open book.
