Dave Walker, graphic designer and art director at D. Walker Design, discusses how he develops ideas for a book&#39;s cover art. For most books, he starts by reading the book proposal to gather information about the book&#39;s story, tone, and market. When working with authors who are self-publishing, Walker listens to input from the author, including the author&#39;s vision for the cover. When working with a tradition publisher, he often holds collaborative meetings with the publisher&#39;s team. Walker encourages authors to ask for opinions from many different people about a cover idea to get a sense of the best direction for the book.</div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-01-79/InspirationforCoverArt.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../InspirationforCoverArt.mp4</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/design/w/cover/2170/inspiration-for-cover-art---video/revision/1Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:2e75a2f9-a2b3-4dcf-8cb7-a80ab0ccb693Dave Walkerhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/design/w/cover/2170/inspiration-for-cover-art---video#commentsRevision 1 posted to Cover by Dave Walker on 12/14/2016 12:00:00 AM<br /> <div class='asl-wikipage-body'><div class='asl-wikipage-summary'>Generating book cover design ideas is a collaborative process.
