What we do
At Itemzero Studio, we offer custom and professional book cover design services that reflect the soul of your book — whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, poetry, photography, or a cultural catalog.
We are a graphic design studio and typefoundry with deep roots in editorial design. Our team of designers collaborates with a curated network of visual artists — including painters, calligraphers, and illustrators — to create bespoke book covers that feel both crafted and strategic.
This is not stock design. Not AI. Not templates.
It’s design with soul — shaped by typography, image, concept, and a deep respect for books as cultural objects.
Designed by Artists, Built by Experts
Each book cover is designed by a senior designer and (if needed) paired with an artist from our community: illustrators, photographers, calligraphers, or painters. No generic templates — only custom cover art, made to reflect your story and target audience.
Typographic Expertise from a Typefoundry
We design and license our own fonts — which means your cover will feature original typography, finely tuned to the tone of your book. This adds a layer of elegance and uniqueness you won’t find with standard type.
Built for Print and Ebook
We deliver print-ready covers (PDF/X) for paperback, hardcover, or dust jacket formats — along with ebook cover files in all required digital specs (KDP, IngramSpark, etc.).
Flexible Solutions for Every Author and Publisher
Whether you’re a self-publishing author, a small press, or a museum, we offer tailored solutions — from elegant type-only covers to fully illustrated cover design with artistic collaboration.
Cover Design That Respects Publishing Standards
We think like publishers. That means the spine, back cover, layout hierarchy, barcode space, and printing tolerances are always part of the design — never an afterthought.
Portfolio-Quality Results, Always
Our covers are designed to impress in bookstores, catalogs, exhibitions, or digital platforms.
We build your book’s first impression to stand beside the best in the market.
A Creative Process Rooted in Art and Design
Every cover we create is a piece of visual literature — composed with care, shaped by collaboration, and infused with the soul of the story it holds.
1. Discovery & Vision
We begin with your words and your vision — a short brief or call allows us to translate your intent into a visual direction.
2. Concept & Typography
We sketch, explore and define: typographic systems, atmosphere, and layout possibilities — often using typefaces crafted in our own foundry.
3. Artistic Collaboration
When the concept calls for it, we invite painters, photographers, illustrators, or calligraphers — creating singular visual textures for each cover.
4. Design & Refinement
We present refined compositions — carefully crafted, readable, beautiful. You choose the direction, and we perfect every detail.
5. Final Delivery
Once approved, we prepare every version you’ll need — front, back, spine, printer-ready files, digital versions — nothing is left behind.
