Book cover designer: Diego Sanguino

Digital and 3D illustrator for book covers and cinematic key art

Hello, I'm Diego Sanguino, a digital illustrator and 3D artist based in London and Madrid. I create images with narrative, atmosphere, and concept. From editorial covers to cinema billboards.

From concept to visual impact in bookshops and digital platforms

I craft each cover based on the story. I read your brief, analyse the tone, genre, and audience, and translate all of that into a clear visual idea. I define the composition, typography, and palette so that your book is recognisable, consistent with the market, and, above all, eye-catching at first glance.

3D modelling, lighting and composition for your book

When the project requires it, I create 3D scenes from scratch. I design characters, spaces, and objects, I work with light and colour like in a film, and I combine everything with digital retouching. We can adjust and edit every nuance – framing, lighting, details, tone – until the cover fits exactly with what you have in mind.
