Banners, ads and the graphics that carry a launch

Coordinated promotional concepts for fictional books. AI-assisted sample artwork showing cover reveals, countdowns, teaser cards and release graphics — not live campaigns.

Why sets, not one-offs

Repetition is what readers trust

A reader rarely buys on first sight. They see the cover, then a quote card, then a countdown, then a friend's post — and somewhere in that sequence the book becomes familiar enough to try. That only works if all those pieces look related.

So promotional work is designed as a system: one grid, one type scale, one palette drawn from your cover, and a small set of rules for how they combine. Adding a new graphic three months later takes minutes instead of starting over.

Every piece is built at the correct size for its placement, with safe zones for interface overlays, so nothing important disappears behind a profile photo or a swipe prompt.

Sample sets

Six kinds of promotional work

A consistent visual family, from the first reveal to the release-day announcement.

Cover reveal set — promotional concept

Concept artwork · Fictional book campaign

Feed post, story, newsletter header

Cover reveal set

A three-stage reveal built from one layout: a teasing crop, a partial unveil, then the full cover. Sharing a grid across all three makes the sequence feel deliberate rather than improvised.

Pre-order countdown — promotional concept

Concept artwork · Fictional book campaign

Seven-day story series

Pre-order countdown

Daily graphics with a shifting numeral and a rotating pull quote, all held in place by a fixed gold rule and consistent type scale.

Story teaser cards — promotional concept

Concept artwork · Fictional book campaign

Square and portrait

Story teaser cards

A fictional tagline paired with a phoenix-feather motif. The plum and gold palette connects the teaser to the romantasy cover without revealing the whole design.

Newsletter & website headers — promotional concept

Concept artwork · Fictional book campaign

Wide banners

Newsletter & website headers

Hero banners sized for Substack, Mailchimp and standard website widths, with safe zones planned so nothing important is cropped on mobile.

Paid ad creative — promotional concept

Concept artwork · Fictional book campaign

Amazon, Meta, BookBub

Paid ad creative

Placement-correct ad sets with variant headlines for testing, plus a short note on which variant to try first and what to measure.

Release badges — promotional concept

Concept artwork · Fictional book campaign

Overlay graphics

Release badges

An ornamental release seal paired with the book’s architectural motif — a simple announcement that stays recognisable beside the reveal and newsletter header.
