Cover and Branding Mood Board

Stop sending your cover designer a vague pile of screenshots and hoping for the best. This interactive HTML dashboard turns "I want it to feel like this" into a specific, defensible brief: rated comp covers, a locked color palette with usage percentages, tested type pairings, a symbol bank, and a legibility check at thumbnail size before you ever pay for a design round.

  • Why writers use it
  • Turns taste into evidence, so you can explain why a cover works instead of saying you like it
  • Catches the covers that look beautiful full size and vanish at store thumbnail scale
  • Keeps book two, book three, and your backlist visually related instead of accidental
  • Cuts revision rounds by giving your designer numbers, ratios, and references, not adjectives
  • Helps you position against the genre shelf on purpose, not by imitation
