Our Approach to AI in Design
At Book Cover Zone, we believe in the power of human creativity and the unique vision that a talented designer
brings to every book cover. We also recognize that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an evolving tool that can,
when used ethically, assist in the creative process. Our commitment is to be transparent with our authors about
how we utilize this technology.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe that authors have the right to know how their book covers are created. Transparency is crucial for
building and maintaining trust. Our policy is to be clear and upfront about the role of AI in the creation of
our products, allowing you to make an informed decision that aligns with your personal and professional
values.
How We Use AI
Where AI is used at Book Cover Zone, it is as a tool to assist and augment the skills of our professional
designers, not to replace them. This may include tasks such as brainstorming initial concepts, enhancing or
modifying stock imagery, or generating textures and abstract elements. We do not use AI to replicate the styles
of specific artists or to create final cover designs without significant human intervention, artistry, and
refinement.
Your Choice: Human-Created and AI-Assisted Covers
We want to provide our authors with a clear choice. We understand that many authors prefer a cover that is
entirely the product of a human artist's skill and imagination. To facilitate this choice, we have implemented a
clear labeling system in our catalog.
Book covers in our catalogue that were created by our designers without the use of generative AI for
their core imagery will be clearly marked in bold.
This distinction ensures that you can easily identify and select covers that are guaranteed to be human-centric
from concept to completion.
The Enduring Value of Human Design
We remain firm in our belief that the nuance, emotional understanding, and storytelling ability of a human
designer are irreplaceable. The covers we designate as human-created are a testament to the skill, passion, and
dedication of our design team. By choosing these covers, you are directly supporting the work of these talented
individuals.
Our Ethical Stance
We are committed to the ethical use of all design tools. We do not use AI to infringe upon the intellectual
property of others. Our designers are trained to use these tools responsibly, ensuring that all final artwork is
unique and commercially viable for our authors.
As the landscape of AI in creative fields continues to evolve, we will continue to assess our policies and
practices to ensure we are upholding our commitment to our authors and designers. If you have any questions
about our use of AI or our policies, please do not hesitate to contact us.
