Where could I find someone to design something for me?

Go to your local community college and put an ad on a bulletin board in the art department and in the computer/tech department.

Go to a designer store.

A freelance graphic designer.

thanks everyone

If you don’t want to spend thousands of dollars, but still a solid amount, you can find terrific work at many websites. I recommend :

99designs.com – Terrific freelance design community.
Crowd Spring – Another choice

i could help maybe http://jane-doe123.deviantart.com/ ...i would require payment tho

You could try posting in the Alchemy section on Etsy – I know several people who have had good luck having custom work done for them there. You could also just browse around Etsy, find a few artists whose styles you like, and email them to see if they’d be willing to do a custom piece for you. Most of the people on Etsy are very friendly and helpful, and it’s likely that you could find someone who wouldn’t charge you an arm and a leg for it… Good luck!

Are you planning on self-publishing your book?

I do a little bit of artistic design on the side. My rates are cheap and I do not ask for anything beyond my artistic fees. The rights to the image(s) are yours one I receive your final payment. PM me for more info.

There are tons of inspiration and artists at deviantart.
You could find and order prints there or talk to artists who’s style you prefer.
Flickr is also an acceptable online venue for this.
This way, you know the portfolio/style of the artist you’re getting.

@PandoraBoxx Yes I’m retaining all my rights. I dont write to make money, I write to tell stories.
