It is critical that your cover "speak" to your target
audience. To do that, you need more than just a
good graphic designer; you need advertising and marketing knowledge, talent and experience. That is what Media3 offers.

So what does it all cost? Like a lot of complicated projects, it depends. It depends on which of our services you decide you use, it depends on the original content, photos original custom illustration and more. However, to give you a general idea, the cover design, including the front cover, the back cover and the spine, barcode from your barcode from you ISBN, etc. - start to finish - averages between $500 and $700.
