Sci-Fi Thriller KDP Cover Design

I’m preparing a future-tech crime thriller for Amazon KDP and need a striking cover that works in both paperback and e-book formats. The story sits firmly in the fantasy / science-fiction space, but its tone is gritty and suspenseful rather than purely cosmic. The cover must NOT be made by Artificial Intelligence. The cover must be made by the artist. My website may give ideas for the look I am after: TLBlakely.com. I do NOT need the text. Key visual direction Picture the back of a female judge—robes flowing—standing on the riverbank at dusk, gazing across the Mississippi. In the distance, a stately courthouse looms on one side while a glowing paddle-wheel showboat drifts by on the other. The image should hint at high technology layered onto classic Southern scenery: subtle neon reflections on the water, maybe discreet holographic signage on the courthouse, anything that signals “future tech crime thriller” without overwhelming the legal drama at the heart of the plot. What I need from you • A full paperback wrap (front, spine, back) sized for a 6"x9" book, ready to upload as a print-ready PDF that meets current KDP bleed, margin, and barcode safety specs. • A separate high-resolution front-cover JPEG for the Kindle e-book listing. • Fonts embedded or outlined and either commercially licensed or free for commercial use. • Source file (PSD, AI, or layered TIFF) so I can tweak blurbs later if needed. Acceptance criteria 1. KDP previewer shows no trim, bleed, or spine issues. 2. Text is legible in thumbnail view (Amazon search results). 3. Mood clearly communicates “future-tech crime thriller” and matches the female-judge-over-Mississippi concept. 4. Final files delivered within the agreed timeline. If you’re comfortable blending cinematic illustration with careful typography and can nail that balance of mystery, law, and sci-fi, I’d love to see your portfolio and discuss next steps.
