As most of you know, I've been on a break since April and while I was trying to have the best time of my life, there's this part of me that just can't stop my creativity from working. There are moments when I'm in the middle of doing something and suddenly, a cover idea hits me. Whenever that happens, I just have to get to it because once it's gone, it's never coming back. At least, not exactly the same as it did before. 

I always had a thing for discreet covers even before it became a trend in the book industry. There's something about it that makes it special. Maybe it's the symbolism and meaning behind every element or object involved in the cover design. Or maybe it's simply something that speaks to me on a deeper level.

This year, in celebration of my birthday, I decided to release a new set of discreet covers and there's something special about this batch that I haven't done in the past 10 years. Whether people will like it or not, that's no longer up to me. All I can tell you is that I love what I do and whenever I see the chance to try something new to broaden my creativity, I always make sure to grab it. ​

This is where my creativity took me this time.

Note: The rate written on the cover is for the EBOOK COVER ONLY.

You're probably wondering, what was the 'something special' I was talking about in this batch of premade covers. It's the cover below - the one titled "Butterfly Effect". This is the first time I'm using my very own custom photo for a book cover that I designed. So yes, the photo used in this is mine as well and you won't be seeing it in any other covers out there. And yes, that's from my personal accessories collection.

​This one is extra special to me so when the time comes that I'd be able to see this representing a story, that would be a dream come true for me! 

Some people asked me why is it that discreet covers seem to cost more than your typical model cover? I'm not speaking for other designers. I'm only speaking for myself and based on my own experience. For me, discreet covers takes so, so, so much more compared to a model cover. With discreet covers, you're literally starting with a blank canvas whereas working with a model, you already have your subject. All you have to do is work the design around the model.

Whenever you see a discreet cover and knows how much it costs to get it made, there are a lot of factors that you have to consider.

​First, it all starts with conceptualization. Where and how to start depends on how much information you're given about the story. There are moments that you're given a lot and there are moments when you're given a single idea. It's the designer's creativity that needs to figure out how to go from there. Once that's done, it's time for the hard part - finding the right images. You'll be lucky if you're able to find the photos that you need within an hour or a few. After hours and hours that felt like endless searching, you finally have the photos that you need. Now, the next step is turning your design concept into reality. It could work exactly the way you envisioned or not. If it doesn't, you'll need to fix it and figure out what's not working and how you can make it work. Sadly, there are times when it doesn't work so you'll end up changing the whole design. And while you're doing that, you'll have to make sure your layout works perfectly with the fonts and text details that you're using. There's the colors too. Besides all that, don't forget to factor in the money spent on the photos and fonts. And most importantly, the time it took for the designer to come up with the final design.

There are moments that's not even everything there is to a discreet cover. There are moments when designers literally make the covers from scratch. What do I mean by that? They design the cover using multiple different brushes and techniques. They go wherever their creativity takes them and that's something you can't copy or duplicate in another design.

Factor all those in then maybe...just maybe...you'll be able to understand why discreet covers seem to be a bit more expensive than your regular cover. ​

Like what I promised you at the start of December, I'm releasing a new set of discreet premade covers and it's finally here! Today is the day! I have to admit that I had so much fun working on these covers and some of these are some of my best works of all-time! (At least, that's what I think lol)

If you've been following me since I started in this industry, you'll also know that some of these aren't my usual style. That's the thing I love about premade covers. I have all the freedom to design it however I want. I hope that you guys will enjoy them too! 

Also, if you're here and you're looking for a different type of cover, please feel free to go through the premade section on my site. You might find what you've been looking for. Happy browsing! 

You think that's everything? Nope! I have a bonus cover just because I can't stop myself from releasing this one too! These last two covers (#159 & #160) are the stars of this release, if I may say so. Something I've never done before and am I glad that I did it this time!

For calendar updates and booking schedules, it's currently on hold since I'm still in the middle of organizing my schedule and prior commitments. I might post it at the start of the new year. If I finish earlier, I might post the updates before the year ends. It really depends. I'll be posting any updates on my Facebook so make sure you're following me there too.

​Also, just a heads up. Regarding the calendar update and booking schedules that I'll be posting, it will most likely be for May 2023 onwards. No earlier than that. 

That's all for now! Wishing you and your family blessed holidays!

After a month wait, CT Cover Creations is now back with a newly designed website! We have so many exciting stuff to share with everyone so be sure to go through each of them and tell us your thoughts!

First, we've redesigned the whole website and added more pages for you to go through especially the portfolio and premade section. For the portfolio, we've added event banner, logo, and author branding. For the premade covers, you can now browse through them by genre.

Second, we've updated our services & packages. If you're looking for something but you can't find it on the website, please don't hesitate to reach out to us and let us know what you're looking for. The services listed here are the main services we offer but it's not limited to those. We do pretty much all types of designing. 

Third, we've updated the testimonial page featuring the talented authors we had the pleasure of working with along with some of the projects that we worked on. If you're wondering what it's like working with CT, you already know where to go.

Fourth, we're finally able to find some time to work on our premade covers and we're so thrilled to announce that we've created 11 new premade designs. What makes this batch exciting is that these are the type of covers that you haven't seen us done before. Something we’ve been wanting to do but never got the chance because we don’t receive these type of projects even though we always wanted to do it. This is what we love about premade. We get to do the type of covers we want and have all the freedom to go crazy with it.

Fifth, we are happy to announce that we've started designing author branding for a while now. Since it's a new service that we're offering, we only have a few designs to show you at the moment. Some of the branding we designed are still not released by the authors so we’ll have to keep it to ourselves for now. Once they share it, we’ll be sure to put it on the website too!

Sixth, in celebration of the revamped website, we've decided to clean and update our premade covers. While going through them, we've decided to remove some of them. These are mostly our very first premade covers so they're at least about 8 years old. Instead of simply getting rid of them, we decided to offer it for free to whoever needs them hoping it'll help someone in any way. Yes, you read that right. We’ve giving away free ebook covers! This can be helpful for new authors or those who are planning a freebie book but doesn’t want to spend on the cover. There’s a total of 15 covers up for grabs. And to be fair with everyone, it’ll only be one cover per author. If you're interested in any of the covers, email us at ctcovercreations(at)gmail(dot)com. 

Seventh, like we mentioned previously, we've clean up our premade covers. Around 40 designs from our old premade covers are on sale. Price starts at $10 for an ebook cover so if you're looking for a quick cover while on a tight budget, head there now!

Can't believe it's been what? 2 years? Since the last time I released a new batch of pre made covers. I didn't really realize it until some of my clients were asking me as to when will I be releasing a new batch. Time sure flies don't you think? But worry no more, the wait ends here! Yes, you're right! The newest batch of CT's pre made covers are now live for everyone to see and purchase!

To those of you who are part of my Facebook Group knows that for this batch, I went out of my comfort zone so that only means one thing. You'll be seeing covers that aren't in my usual style so some of you might like it and some might not. With this batch, I have to admit there were a lot of experimenting involve since I always wanted to try different styles but I know that I'm not good at everything so I'm pretty sure you'll see that too. But one thing I assure you though, I surely had a blast working on this batch! I do hope that you'll like them too and hopefully they'll fit one(or maybe even more) of the stories you've been looking forward to sharing with the world!

There you go! They are the 30 newest addition to CT's pre made covers. Feel free to go through them and if you want to see the complete collection, feel free to click on every category and you'll be directed to the page wherein you'll see all the covers that are still available for purchase.

After waiting for a long time, CT Cover Creations finally decided to release its next batch of pre made covers! Finally, right?

People often ask me when the next batch will be release and it almost often that I can't give a definite day. Thing is, with pre made covers, it's never easy to plan them especially with how much work it requires on the day of the release. I have to make sure I have everything ready before I decide on a date so I also need to take in consideration how busy I am with my custom projects. Not to mention, I wouldn't want to announce a day and end up not being able to release them. That would be more disappointing, right? That's why I either do these as a surprise or with a short notice. 

​I know a lot of you had been waiting for this and I really want to apologize for the delay. So without further ado, here are the 40 new designs added to CT Cover Creations' Pre Made Covers!

Oh yeah, keep a look out for the newest category "Collab Pre Made" too! Keep scrolling to knowing more about them. 

Now, you've seen the 30 different covers from the 3 categories you're all familiar with, it's time to reveal the newest category.

Collab Pre Made - I believe the name itself already gives you an idea what type of covers they'll be. The covers in this category are collaborations I had with some of the talented models and photographers out there! I had a pleasure working with such amazing people and I'm grateful that they were part of this newest project of mine! Besides working with models and photographers, I also worked with a new stock site. 

In this category, you'll be seeing EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE covers. Exclusive covers will only be sold once. Once you buy the cover, the photo is yours too. You won't be able to see it on someone else's cover nor will you see the exact same cover being used by another author. It's all yours. However, with non-exclusive, it's the opposite. There's a chance that you'll see the photo being used on another cover but you won't be seeing someone else using the exact same cover since I only sell my covers once. 

​Every cover in this category have different price range depending on the people involved so be sure to read the details on every cover.
