Book Cover Design for Package Tour – Satirical Novel

Client's Requirements: I was tasked with creating a full wrap book cover for Package Tour, a satirical novel that humorously explores the misadventures of a vacation gone wrong. The client provided several specific requirements for the design:

• Title & Subtitle: "Package Tour"

• Cover Type: Softcover (Perfect Bound)

• Finish: Matte

• Paper: 90g Text Print Cream White

• Number of Pages: 312

• Dimensions: Custom size (including trim, spine width, bleed margin, etc.)

• Genre: Satirical Novel, targeting readers who enjoy witty, humorous narratives with a bit of dark comedy.

Design Specifications:

• Cover Layout: A full wrap cover, including the front, back, and spine. The front cover features the title and graphic elements that capture the chaotic and comedic nature of the story. The back cover includes the provided book description and the required barcode and logo placement. I also ensured that the spine was clearly readable and aligned with the overall aesthetic.

• Color Scheme & Style: Bold, vibrant colors paired with a playful and chaotic design to match the tone of the novel. The back cover incorporates the text provided by the client, which describes the main character's unforgettable vacation experience.

• Additional Requests: The client supplied an image to be included in the cover design, which I used to complement the overall theme and visual appeal.

Client's Back Cover Text: _"It was supposed to be the perfect vacation with Mia. Actually. But what happens when vacation dreams collide with harsh reality and a suitcase full of chaos? Two weeks of all-inclusive vacation, an engagement ring with a tragic history, and experiences that definitely weren't in the catalog – that's all it takes to give Arno the craziest vacation of his life. Between entertainment hell, buffet madness, and an involuntary encounter with the local authorities, Arno struggles through a vacation in Turkey that holds more turbulence than he'd like.

Package Tour is a bittersweet tour through the parallel universe of package tourism – and the labyrinth of interpersonal relationships."
