Author Peter Higgins
We did 6 ebook covers for Mr. Higgins in November. He says:
“As an author who has worked on over a dozen books, the need of a creative desktop publisher is central to success in the competitive online world of publishing. Having worked with Cal, I feel fortunate beyond measure to have found a creative force that understands the needs of the author to be able to translate the author’s vision onto the front page. After spending thousands of hours on a book, the value of a subtle yet intriguing book cover is what ultimately makes the difference whether a reader will take a chance on your work. Be wise. Work with a creative director who has the tools to bring your vision into reality. There are many book cover creators out there today so finding a tested producer of quality material is a beacon in the messy marketplace of online publishing. Cal Sharp is the real deal.”
“I can only highly recommend the services of Cal Sharp though I hope your book isn’t the same genre as mine.”

Comps vs. Hi-Rez
We get a lot of photos from https://stock.adobe.com/ They’re usually pretty reliable, with a lot of good quality photos to choose from. We download free comps to work with and when the client approves the design – typically a book cover – We’ll get the hi-rez version and use an image editor to create the final. But this latest one was quite at variance with the comp that I showed the client, and I had to run curves on it, reduce the contrast and blur it to get it to look like the proof.
Final ebook cover.
We Must Return
“Mr. Cal Sharp has asked me to write a short note recommending his company, Caligraphics, and it is my pleasure to do so. I chose the ebook company Smashwords to publish and distribute my new ebook, and they recommended a number of cover artist and document formatters to contact and work with. After reviewing each service provider in the list, Cal’s cover art impressed me the most. And since he offered both cover design and manuscript formatting to Smashwords specs, it was an easy decision. The cover art proof process and selection was quick and the final design was liked by all. The manuscript formatting was perfect and it uploaded flawlessly to Smashwords. I highly recommend Cal and his company Caligraphics for your next ebook cover and formatting.”
