Jordan Lewerissa – Designer

I'm an illustrator and designer who loves to create eye-catching book covers that take an unconventional approach to the source material.

Overview

Hi, I'm Jordan. I'm an illustrator who lives in Brisbane, Australia (yes, the Heelers live a few blocks from me). My mission is to create striking cover images to help readers find and connect with your amazing stories. My comfort zone is character-centric comicbook style illustration, but I welcome opportunities to step outside of that and create imagery that draws on more diverse stylistic lineages.


The most rewarding part of my job is distilling what's essential in your story—or even just one climactic scene—and crafting an image that breathes and pulses with the vitality of your world. In terms of subject matter, I try to pursue less conventional angles to help your book cover stand apart on the shelf. I'm open to helping you materialise visual ideas you have already developed, or brainstorming possibilities from scratch if you don't know which direction to go yet.


Your budget and lead time before release will determine how elaborate a cover design I can produce for you, but even if you don't have much to spend and you need it quickly, I can help your book get released with something eye-catching on the front. Some things to keep in mind if you'd like to work with me:


- I find that a minimum of four weeks development time is needed to produce a book cover that both you and I will be happy with. This period includes all the necessary back and forth we'll have trading ideas and making decisions.


- My time zone is GMT+10, so there might be a few hours between you writing and me responding.


If any of my examples resonate with you, please get in touch—I'd love the chance to help bring your project to life!

Work experience

Self-employed

Jun, 2018 — Present
I create book covers that capture the attention of potential readers. Through open and frequent communication with clients, my artwork represents the author's vision down to the the level of detail they want. I handle illustration, layout design, and typography for the book covers I produce, so I take ownership for all stages of the creative process. This can increase the speed to finalisation because there are no hand-offs to other collaborators.

Jordan is an incredible artist, and he created a beautiful cover art for my book that is better than I could have imagined. He went above and beyond to listen to what I want and asked for information about my novel so he could perfectly capture its theme. He was professional and swift with his re...
