Book Covers
Be seen. Be read.
A generous statistic suggests that around four million—yes, four million—books are published each year. Whether your book is being released by one of the leading publishing houses or you’re eager to self publish and just get it out there—you want your book to be seen. Cover, spine, back, and interior all play a part in the process of not only attracting a potential reader, but making sure they decide to take your story home with them. Let me help make that decision a little easier by designing and consulting on the perfect package for your first or fiftieth book.
Storytelling
With Posters
Movies. Music. Monsters.
Half of the enjoyment of the movie-going experience is the poster. At least, it is for me. Whether a teaser, final, or the hit-or-miss character posters, that's how I'm sold on a movie. And I'm sure I'm not alone. Here, I would insert statistics of viewers who watch a movie solely based on the poster, but that information doesn't exist! So instead of statistics, please take a look at the nifty designs I've showcased below.
Bring It
To Broadway
Pull a crowd. Draw the curtain.
It takes a lot to bring a new show to Broadway. First, passion. Second, an idea. Followed by years of development and finally an open theater with a wide-open stage waiting for the fresh footsteps of eager performers. In the midst of that long process, an identity is needed that will introduce, intrigue, and engage every single ticket buyer. That's where I have been fortunate enough to step in. Different than film posters or book covers, Broadway key art becomes part of a grand legacy of the select few that find their way to the grand stages in the greatest city in the world.

A Little Bit About the Designer
Gabriel P. Cooper, inspired by Toho Kaiju films, space-age non-fiction regarding UFOs, and sci-fi comics of the 70s, has designed book covers and broadway key art for nearly 10 years. He’s the author of Alien Encounters At Angel Grove—a fictional first-person account of the original 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers— published by Penguin Random House in 2018. He lives in Brooklyn with the single plant he’s been able to keep alive, and an ever growing stack of 80s mass market paperbacks.
