The cover design brief for this magic-realism fantasy novel with mystical Arabic influences could be summed up as "Tolkien meets the desert." AI proved invaluable for generating imagery that needed to evoke familiar yet fundamentally transformed worlds—places that feel recognisable but exist beyond our known reality.
When creating visuals for fantastical realms, AI excels at bridging the gap between the familiar and the otherworldly, crafting environments that readers can connect with while still feeling transported to something entirely new.
It was a real pleasure to work with Arjan. He was absolutely committed to this collaboration in giving his utmost as a professional designer. I love Arjan's easy going manner, his great sense of humour, his professionalism and not least his wonderful design concepts. I am really happy with the cover design of my novel, as well as the design of the interior. It has attracted very favourable comments from friends and family.
