WHO IS RAHUL IYER?
I Bridge the Gap between Design and Art By Creating Visuals that Engage, Entertain and Inspire.
Who is Rahul Iyer? Well, that’s a deep Question that sometimes even I try to Ponder upon. However, I have an answer to that question.
If you are looking for the Professional Rahul Iyer, then probably I would introduce myself as:
“I am Rahul Iyer, a Graphic Designer and a Photoshop Artist with 4 Years of Experience from India. I Started out my Design journey in 2017. Since then I have crafted my Skills in Photo Composites, Graphic Design, Content Creation and Branding.”
But apart from all those Attractive Titles, I would like to introduce myself as Rahul Iyer, an “Individual”.
I am an Individual with ambitious goals. I love Music. Classical one’s more…. A bit more. I am an Indie Creator myself. Creating Ideas, Designs, and Opportunities. I would like to create something memorable, exciting, which can outlive my human existence. I may or may not be able to achieve my goals, but in the end, there should be no regrets. That is something I strive for.
Creative people are boon to society. They initiate ideas that can spark innovation.

The Problem with Current BOOK COVER Designers
I Believe a Perfectly designed Book Cover can tell a Visually Compelling Story of the Book. And Every story deserves to be heard by the right audience.
Writing a book is tough. And I know that because I have tried to enter that domain. The Last thing an Author would want is that their story is not read or heard by anyone. And Hence I try to create Unique Book Covers that Perfectly Communicates the basic idea of the story, yet, not disclosing the whole secret.
There are a lot of Cliche Book Cover designs that I am sure even you as an author or an individual would have noticed. Those designs with Models and Faces on the cover which completely crushes the excitement and imagination of a reader. Having Faces or Models on Covers are not bad. But atleast they should be shown in a Scene, or anything related to the Story. However,Those Designs tell nothing about the story. Just Pick a Model or a Stock Image, Blend it with some Saturation and Bright Colors and You are done with a LAZY, BORING Design.
And don’t get me wrong, Cliche Book Covers can attract a lot of audience to pick up the Book. However, what about after they have purchased it. Would the reader feel proud while he/she is reading that book? Will they flex the Book Cover in front of the General Public making them aware that they are missing out on some interesting ideas and stories? Will they try to find the Easter Eggs in the Book Cover which has significance later in the story? Would they pick up that book even after 10 Years?
Or, Will they just be ashamed to even recommend that book to their friends just because the Cover has Elements that has nothing to do with the Story and looks weird?
Trying to Make a Change..
Hence, I am Trying to make a Change. It’s an effort to redefine the Book Cover Status Quo and to Provide the Authors a Perfect Book Cover that their Stories Deserve. I Create Book Covers that bridges the Gap between Art and Design. The Covers are “Artistic” Enough to have Easter Eggs and Elements that ties back to the story of the book and at the same time not leaving the audience who have not yet read the book ,confused.
And the Covers have a Purpose to solve, hence creating covers with a “Design” that attracts right audience is crucial. However, Just making a Cover that attracts the Audience is not enough and It needs to have that Long Shelf Life. I Create Book Covers that would make the readers proud of their Purchase and most importantly, becomes a memory in their life’s journey.
And that is how Perfect Book Covers are made. Because I Believe, Every Indie Author or a Creator is Competent, Curious, Confident and a Revolutionary that Challenges the Status Quo. Hence, they deserve……..You Deserve, the Absolute BEST.
