The one-stop creative studio bringing your book to life!

Aureolin — the final touch.

At Alex Aureolin Design, I hand craft custom covers, character art, and illustrations that capture your story’s soul — along with a complete visual ecosystem of fonts, colors, and on-brand assets for marketing, merch, and more.

With everything in one place, your book launches with a consistent, professional, and unforgettable identity — while you focus on the words, I’ll bring the world around them to life.

Three Phase Collaborative Design Process

Your story — whether it’s a novel, an illustrated book, or a single unforgettable character — deserves more than a generic premade or AI-generated design. My 3-phase process is built to give you a collaborative, detail-rich creative experience that brings your vision to life — not just once, but across every visual you need to share your world with confidence.

From book covers and character art to illustrated books, personal commissions, merchandise, branding, social media graphics, and website design, I’m your creative partner from first concept to final files. Together, we’ll make sure your project doesn’t just look good — it feels like yours, down to the smallest detail that will captivate your audience.

  • Every project is unique — and so is every package I create. Whether you’re launching your debut novel, commissioning an illustrated world for your D&D campaign, rebranding your series, creating merch for your fandom, or going all out for a collector’s edition, we’ll build a package that fits your vision.

    Choose exactly what you need — add to cart the pieces you’d like to combine — from covers and character art to illustrated books, merch, and marketing assets. Bundle multiple items for an automatic discount at checkout!

    Once your selections are set, you’ll secure your spot with a 50% deposit, locking in your place on my schedule and kicking off the creative process.

    You can book directly here on the website, or email alex@alexaureolindesign.com for help choosing the perfect package for your project.

  • This is where we start building your book’s visual world together. We’ll collaborate on a shared Miro board where you can showcase anything that captures your project — vibes, images, character references, snippets from your chapters — anything that helps me step inside your world.

    I want to know your project inside and out so I can add depth and details that wouldn’t be found anywhere else. You’ll bring your vision board, and I’ll bring ideas and imagery I’ve gathered to match your vibes. Together, we’ll lay the foundation for a design that feels uniquely yours.

  • With our direction set, I’ll begin drafting initial concepts — rough sketches and early layouts that form the skeleton of your design. These will be loose and unpolished, so it’s important to look past the roughness and focus on the bigger picture. This is where we shape the vision together.

    You can be as specific as you like, or give me full creative freedom. If you want the day scene turned into night, more blues and pinks added, or a character’s expression shifted — this is the stage to explore those changes. We’ll work closely here, refining ideas until the design truly feels like your story brought to life.

  • Once we’ve finalized your concepts and you’ve paid the remaining 50% of your project fee, we’ll schedule a Zoom call to review everything and confirm the design direction you want to move forward with.

    After the main artwork is approved, I’ll package it up and begin building out your full brand — colors, typography, and on-brand social media graphics — so every element feels cohesive.

    When this phase is complete, you’ll receive all final files and assets, ready for print, digital use, and promotion — giving you everything you need to launch with confidence.
