BOOK COVER for “karma”, a work in progress manuscript

KARMA is a young adult novel manuscript of mine. The project started early 2024, as I got an idea for a story about a young girl failing to make good decisions being consumed by jealousy and a broken heart.

KARMA follows Carla, a 16 year old who’s been disappointed in friendships. She stumbles upon Kumar, a shy tech nerd who is just the missing piece for her to execute her revenge plan.

Already early in the project I had a clear vibe of what the atmosphere of the story would be. Very soon after I started sketching what I thought the book cover for KARMA would look like.

I took influence of vintage rock posters (as the main character is a rock lover), and tried to sketch something that would speak especially to the young adult audience. The end result has (a biased opinion incoming) a great balance between being cute, cool, bold and slightly rough.
