Frost and Found
Book Cover Design & Illustration
Client: Independent Author
Author: Ava Hill
Services: Cover design and artwork
This illustrated book cover for Frost and Found brings a soft and romantic Winter Christmas atmosphere to life. The design features a couple against a frosty blue background, complete with shimmering snowflakes, icy textures, and a festive mistletoe placed in the top corner, adding personality and charm to this wintery scene.
For this project, I handled the full cover design: illustration, hand-drawn typography, and formatting. I created the title lettering in cursive to complement the gentle holiday mood and enhance the cozy aesthetic. The combination of cool vs warm tones, textures and snowflakes helps evoke the magic and warmth of a holiday romance.
This project highlights my ability to blend custom typography with atmospheric illustration—creating a cohesive and inviting Christmas cover from start to finish.
Client Review
“I’ve worked with Mel twice, once for character and the other for book cover, and both times the process has been seamless.
The art was exactly as I pictured it in my head, and she always shared her progress with me for input. She’s so amazingly talented and I enjoyed working with her both times.”
