Design a sophisticated commercial international crime thriller book cover for a novel titled REVEALED with the subtitle ‘Seriously Organised Crime – Book 1’ by Stephen Long. The scene is a luxury Mediterranean marina at night in Marbella or Puerto Banús. Dark water reflects soft gold and white yacht lights. Expensive but restrained atmosphere. Cinematic and quietly dangerous rather than action-heavy. No guns, explosions, helicopters, blood, or obvious crime imagery. The mood should suggest hidden power, organised crime, financial systems, and concealed danger beneath wealth and beauty. Include subtle modern architecture and marina details in the background. Colour palette: deep navy, black, muted gold, soft white highlights. Minimalist composition with elegant typography. The title REVEALED should appear large in a refined serif font with wide spacing. The subtitle ‘Seriously Organised Crime – Book 1’ should appear smaller beneath the title in a clean elegant font. The author name Stephen Long should appear understated near the bottom. The overall style should feel like a prestige streaming thriller or bestselling international crime novel rather than pulp fiction. Photorealistic, realistic lighting, premium, atmospheric, restrained, cinematic, not cyberpunk, not neon, not an action movie poster. I’ll share character briefs, title, subtitle, and back-cover copy once we start. Deliverables (all 300 dpi or higher): • eBook cover in JPEG, sized for KDP (minimum 2560 × 1600 px). • Full paperback wrap in press-quality PDF that fits KDP’s 6" × 9" template with correct spine width, bleed, and back-cover elements. • Editable source file (PSD or AI) with organized layers. Acceptance criteria: • Passes KDP Print & eBook previews without warnings. • Title and author name remain crisp and legible at thumbnail size. • Consistent, realistic, dark mood centered on the characters, with no weapons or urban backdrops. If you’re comfortable working within KDP guidelines and can share crime or thriller covers you’ve already completed, I’m ready to review your portfolio and move forward quickly.

Hi, this is exactly the kind of thriller cover direction I enjoy working on, restrained, cinematic, and premium rather than loud action poster style. The Marbella marina setting with luxury yachts, dark reflective water, and subtle architectural lighting has a lot of potential for a sophisticated international crime atmosphere. I’d approach this more like a prestige streaming series key art, focusing on mood, tension, and hidden power beneath elegance instead of obvious crime clichés. Typography will also play a huge role here. The title REVEALED can be treated with refined serif typography and careful spacing so it stays strong even at thumbnail size while still feeling upscale and modern. I’m also familiar with KDP requirements, including full wrap setup, bleed, spine calculations, and print safe exports, so the final files will be production ready. This project has a very strong visual identity already and I’d love to help shape it properly. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12
