My Stories Matter Book Design

Book design

Overview

At My Stories Matter I design and format books for clients writing about their life stories. Each book ranges anywhere between 100-400 pages, containing special formatting such as bold & italics, bulleted lists, a table of contents, photo collages, captions and anything else from formatted letters, poems, songs and more.

Task

Format custom books and design book covers for clients and make revisions based on feedback.

Outcome

From January 2024 - present I have designed anywhere from 2-3 books and a bookmark counterpart each month for various clients. All bookmarks are custom made as I read through each story and identify “golden egg” imagery that reflects their unique story. Some book covers are created using an existing template while others are custom created based off of ideas a client may have and as a designer, becomes my job to recreate in a polished manner.
