Look like the book you actually wrote.
Genre conventions are not a prison. They are recognition cues. We study the visual language readers already use to classify a book.
Book Cover Design
The cover has one job before it has anything else.
Make the right reader recognize the book. Hatti starts with genre signal, thumbnail legibility and reader promise—not decoration in isolation.
Design for the smallest important view.
A cover can look beautiful full-size and collapse in search results. Hatti checks title hierarchy, focal point and contrast at thumbnail scale.
Recognition without repetition.
For series work, each cover should belong to the same shelf family while giving the new volume its own promise.

Quote
Complex illustration, additional concepts, and multi-book visual systems can be added as needed. Working to a launch date? Include it in the brief and we will confirm the earliest realistic schedule.
Ask for a quoteDo I need to send the full manuscript?
No. A cover brief starts with title, genre, short synopsis, reader, comparable books, formats and any visual constraints. We ask for more only if it is actually needed.
How many concepts are included?
We develop one carefully considered cover direction based on your genre, reader, positioning and creative brief, then refine it through two rounds of revisions. If you want to explore an additional distinctly different creative direction, we can add that to the project.
How many revision rounds?
Two structured revision rounds are included within the agreed creative direction. If the title, genre positioning, trim size, format, or overall visual direction changes materially after work begins, we will confirm any additional work before proceeding.
What if KDP rejects the cover for a technical production error?
If the rejection is solely due to a Hatti production error within the agreed specification, Hatti corrects that technical error without an additional design fee.
Do you guarantee that a new cover will increase sales?
No. Cover design can improve relevance and presentation, but sales depend on many factors outside Hatti's control.
Start with the book, reader and shelf—not a disconnected visual concept.
