Cover Art by Forever After Romance Designs
STOCK IMAGES/LICENSES:
By purchasing a design, you are reserving exclusive rights to use the design as your book cover. However, Forever After Romance Designs will retain the license and/or copyright to the artwork, images, and materials used in producing the cover. If you will be providing your own custom shoot images, you will - of course - retain the rights to the original photos, but we will need proof of license before proceeding.
Stock images are available to anyone who licenses them, so we cannot guarantee they will not be used on another design.
ARTWORK LICENSE LIMITS (Standard RF licensing):
- Licensed for unlimited digital eBook and digital Audio Cover reproductions.
- Licensed for up to 250,000 total paperback and/or hardcover prints.
Additional Permitted Use with Standard License:
- Digital promotion of your book (example: online teaser images, e-newsletter, etc.).
- You are permitted to hire another designer to place typography on artwork licensed from Forever After Romance Designs. This includes typography for eBook Covers, Full Wraps and Audio Covers.
NOTE: Artwork may be cropped only if needed to fit eBook Size, Audio Cover Size or Full Wrap specifications. The Art may not be altered in any other way. Terms of use and license limits still apply, and artwork credit is required in publications.
NOT PERMITTED with Standard RF License:
- Use the artwork for more than one book title.
- Transfer or sell the artwork to another party without express written permission from Forever After Romance Designs.
- Alter the finished artwork in any manner. The only exception being font placement (Typography: Book Title, Author Name, narrator, series logo, or tagline in online promo).
- Use the cover design to create items for resale or distribution this includes postcards, bookmarks, keychains, calendars, etc. If you would like to create items for resale, distribution, or a higher print volume, additional licensing is required. Additional licensing is ONLY AVAILABLE for Custom Art and should be arranged at the start of the design.
-Designs may not at any time be used for or by individuals engaging in pornography, sex trade or illegal activities. They also may not be used as the cover for hard-core erotica novels.
PREMADE ART:
Premade art is licensed as artwork only and is priced as marked. Each cover is only licensed once. All sales on premade art are final.
All premade artwork comes with Standard RF Licensing.
Artwork is usually delivered within 24-48 hours, with the exception of weekends, holidays or unless otherwise noted.
eBook Sizing & Typography, Full Wrap, Audio Cover and more can be added to a premade art purchase via our "Online Booking" Page - subject to availability.
CUSTOM ART:
As your design date approaches, an online art form will be emailed to you. If you are ordering more than one design, you MUST complete one art form per design.
If more than 48 hours passes beyond your scheduled custom design start date and we have not received your artform or heard from you, we reserve the right to move on to the next client and you will need to reschedule for another date.
The turn-around for custom cover art is generally 5-15 business days from the given start date of that cover. However, in the end it will depend on working with you on any draft revisions and finalizing the design. If there will be a delay in completion, I will let you know.
Please be thorough when completing your art form. Your design will be created based on your input. You may request up to 2 rounds of minor revisions to the first draft. There is a fee of $35.00 per hour for additional edits. If MAJOR changes are requested - basically a complete re-work of the art - it will be considered a rejected design. Rejected designs may be offered as a premade cover.
CUSTOM ART CREATION:
RF images are chosen and a composite will be created based on your requests. Hand painted elements, custom lighting effects, color grading and blending will all be utilized to create the final design.
Head-swaps, clothing swaps or additions can be made. However, not every request can be achieved if the required stock is not available, or if you have chosen a stock image which is unsuitable for the desired requests. For example: A fully clothed contemporary stock couple that you want dressed in a historical fashion likely won't work.
If you need a very specific look, we suggest booking a custom photoshoot. There are several photographers who offer this service.
Extended RF License: All designs made by Forever After Romance come with Standard Royalty Free Licensing. This allows for up to 250,000 prints and Unlimited eBook, Digital Audio and online promo. If you need more than that, you will need to purchase Extended Licensing. Pricing ranges depending on Stock Provider.
TYPOGRAPHY, FULL WRAP AND ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS:
eBook Typography, Full Wrap Design, Audio Cover Typography, etc., are seperate services offered once artwork is purchased. These services are all subject to availability and must be scheduled via our "Online-Booking" Page.
KDP WRAP - You must provide the Page Count, Paper Color, Trim Size and blurb for the back cover.
INGRAM WRAP - You must send me the template provided by IngramSpark for the specific specs of your book. I will also need the blurb for the back cover.
Please be sure to email me the information for your design before your appointment.
You are responsible for proofing the cover design at the time of delivery. This includes all text (Title, Author Name, tagline, etc.). If there is an error, please inform us immediately so the adjustment can be made. There is a one-week deadline for typography adjustments. After that, there is a fee of $35 per hour (one hour minimum).
If you order a print wrap, they are created based on the specifications you provide. Trim size, page count and paper color. The cover is then fitted to either KDP or IngramSpark templates - based on your preference. Images are flattened and delivered as a High-Quality Print PDF file. Each print service varies, it is recommended that you request a draft copy of your cover prior to offering it for sale.
Please allow 5 days for delivery of completed additional graphics and/or media.
PAYMENT/REFUND INFORMATION:
Forever After Romance Designs does not require deposits for custom designs unless you are getting Extended Licensing.
An invoice will be sent to you upon completion of the first draft, however, payment is not due until approval of the final design. If your order changes during the design process, the invoice will be adjusted.
Requesting and completing an art form for a custom design is not a binding contract to perform the service.
Unless a custom package is agreed upon prior, Artwork (premade or custom) does not include typography, full wraps, or any additional graphics. These services must be booked separately via our "Online-Booking" page and are subject to availability.
Forever After Romance Designs reserves the right to refuse service for any reason. If work has begun and we feel unable to meet the client's desired requests, or if requests become excessive and unreasonable, we reserve the right to terminate service.

DELIVERY AND DESIGN STORAGE:
PSD (editable) files will be stored by Forever After Romance Designs for 12 months following the final design. After that time, the files will be purged.
Flattened artwork is stored for a period of 12 months once a final design is delivered. It is the client's responsibility to save the files upon delivery for future typography placement.
