In my role as an intern at Macmillan Audio, I am responsible for adapting various hardcover designs into a square audiobook format. Additionally, I design advertisements for audio titles: gifs for newsletters and website, static graphics and short form videos for social media ads, and even one-color ads that get published in the back of print books.
Since starting in June of 2024, I’ve adapted over 100 hardcover designs into audiobook covers. It’s a really fun design challenge—like a puzzle, almost. How can you rearrange the elements into a completely different shape while still maintaining as much of the original layout as possible?
In addition to covers, I also create various assets for the marketing and promotion of audiobooks. This includes end cards and entire videos for Instagram Reels, static and gif ads for placement in newsletters and websites, and back ads for print books.
