Service introduction
About our educational book cover design service
Educational covers need to be clear about subject and level while making learning feel inviting.
We create a cover system that shows subject, grade or level at a glance and can be extended across a whole series.
Curriculum context
Textbook and workbook covers for education publishers
Educational covers are chosen by teachers, heads of department and procurement teams as often as they are by students, and they usually sit in a series.
We build a cover system rather than a single cover: a shared grid, a consistent banner for level or grade, and a colour key that lets a whole range be identified at a glance across a shelf or a catalogue spread. Subject, level, edition and board information all get a fixed position so later titles drop straight into the template.
- Series templates with colour-coded levels and subjects
- Fixed zones for edition, board and syllabus information
- Print and digital catalogue versions from one master file
Most of this work comes from education publishers and independent curriculum authors in India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the United States. Send us your project details and we will reply with questions, an approach and a quote before any work starts.
