I am an author and publisher as well as a doctor, and from time to time I have designed my own book covers as well as write the book.
The covers I have designed cover a wide style of designs, but the books themselves are all on medical topics.
My most recent venture is a volume that I have had printed tete-beche (a reversible book) where two books are bound back to back with two front covers and no back cover. This was not unusual in the 19th. century, but publishing books in this way is very rare today.
These covers have been designed completely in Photoshop starting with a black screen, adding colour then modifying the image with various filters and manipulations to create what (I consider anyway) to be appropriately attractive and very different book covers.
One book being slightly salacious and the other merely amusing, the reader can decide which cover to leave on show when the book is laid on a table.
The result can be seen in the following pictures:-
My biggest project was designing the cover for a massive encyclopaedia that I wrote.
This was done in a completely different way by taking scanning appropriate medieval paintings from books and then manipulating them (again in Photoshop) to create the front and back covers for the two volumes thus:-
One of my biggest selling books was a Home Guide to Medication. To make this cover, dozens of packets of expired medication were obtained from the pharmacy next door to my surgery, spilled onto a white board, corralled and photographed. A banner title was then floated over the top of the medication image. Again Photoshop was used extensively.
