AI is here, and it is changing the way authors explore ideas, develop concepts and create their books.
Rather than leaving our clients to wrestle with complicated prompts and hope for the best, we have created an **AI Book Cover Brief Builder** to make using ChatGPT much easier.
The tool is designed for authors who want to create a book cover or explore a concept cover using ChatGPT. It asks straightforward questions about your book, preferred style, cover size, binding, page count and paper type. It then calculates the spine, bleed, panel measurements, hinge allowances and positioning before producing detailed instructions that you can copy into ChatGPT.
It has been created to help reduce common AI cover problems, including incorrect spine widths, important elements being cut during trimming, poorly centred cover matter and visible production guides.
This is not about replacing professional graphic designers. Experienced designers bring skill, judgement and creative expertise that AI cannot simply reproduce. For authors wanting a completely bespoke and professionally managed design, a good graphic designer remains invaluable.
This tool is for clients who want to explore AI, develop a strong starting concept or create their own cover with clearer print-production guidance. AI technology is already here, and our role is to help our clients navigate it responsibly, confidently and with a much better chance of producing artwork that can be prepared successfully for print.
