Cover design resources - would appreciate help
-
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this question... do you know if there are SVS classes in the subscription that specifically talk about book cover design? I seem to remember hearing that one of the live classes about book covers would be coming to the subscription at some point, but it would be great to learn from anything already available in the meantime.
Also, do you guys know of any other good children’s book cover design resources?
Thank you so much for your time and your assistance!

Hi Kathryn!
Here's a link to their interactive class, Creating Great Book Cover Illustrations, which started last month. I'm not sure when they'll offer it again, but just letting you know it's there:

Hi @KathrynAdebayo!
The following resources aren't full-fledged courses as the SVSLearn one would be (I'm also eager for it to be made available to subscribers), but they are very useful as sneak peeks into other artists' processes.:

Hi @aprilshin and @animatosoor ! Thank you both so much for the links. I totally wish I could take the live book cover class. Maybe some day... As for now, some of the links you sent, animatosoor, have been helpful to me! Thanks again!
