Recent Testimonials
The packaging Tim Barber created for my historical novel not only delighted me, it delighted booksellers. The first time the owner of my local bookstore saw my cover, she uttered, “Oh, this is a good one. This will sell,” and promptly carried the book to the new releases table, where it stood out for all the right reasons. It was lushly beautiful; it was clearly a historical featuring a strong female protagonist; and it had a classic, timeless quality. Tim understood my vision for the cover but brought his own talent and insight to the project. He did excellent work, on schedule, and was a genuine collaborator. I’m already excited to see what he’ll create for me next.

Tim is the book cover designer you want by your side. His mix of raw design talent and instinct, professionalism, friendly communication and drive to get the best possible result is something I suspect is rare. To say I'm satisfied with the final cover is an understatement. It exceeded my expectations and does all the things this thriller needs it to. I plan to partner with Tim for subsequent books and would highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. From just the blurb and me answering a few questions, he produced the first draft of my book cover which, with a few tweaks, became the cover I’d envisaged. He was very responsive, turned around requested changes very quickly and went above and beyond to help when I had issues with uploading my book to Amazon. Tim is conscientious, very professional, and I would highly recommend his services.

Author of 'Leave Well Alone'
I contacted Tim straight off the back of a disastrous experience with another designer who simply hadn’t listened. In stark contrast, Tim absorbed every idea or scrap of information I threw his way, and tackled my cover with a considered and intelligent approach. And although I was very clear about wanting particular components on my cover, Tim introduced the ‘X’ factor – something I hadn’t been seeking (and had felt quite adamant I didn’t want) which resulted in a design that quite simply blew me away! Tim is a delight to work with, mixing professionalism and friendliness, and most importantly (and unlike his predecessor) has the capacity to ‘get’ the result you’re striving for. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

I'm so happy and lucky that I got to work with Tim Barber from Dissect Designs. Tim is an amazing designer. He has a great iterative process and is incredibly easy to work with. I feel I got my far more than my money's worth! I noticed right away what a great eye he has for composition and color, but he is also an amazing collaborator and someone I trust. He did an amazing job as the cover designer for my debut novel, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. If you are looking for a great designer, someone who is easy to work with, and most importantly a stellar cover, Dissect Designs is for you. You can't go wrong with Tim and Dissect Designs.

Tim was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Tim understood my vision from the very beginning of the project and made the design process seamless. I plan to partner with Dissect Designs again for my sequel!

"I could not be happier with the help and professionalism Tim has offered. Last year, he created the perfect design for my book. He has since done other work for me to adjust the cover for different formats, including resizing for a large print edition. He has offered insightful help along the way asking questions that made my cover the best it could be. I’m frequently told that someone bought my book because the cover is stunning. Thank you, Tim."

Author of 'The Crimson Daughter'
"Tim of Dissect Designs is a consummate professional. Going into this process I thought I knew exactly what I wanted for my book cover until Tim’s brilliant suggestions gently showed me it could be so much better than I had at first envisioned. We collaborated over a whole bunch of revisions and Tim was always prompt to respond and always happy to try different versions with even the slightest tweaks. I started out wanting an e-book and paperback cover but was so impressed with Tim’s work I eventually bought the Website Banner and Facebook Adverts too and it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. So happy with the final product and he’s definitely the guy for my next novel’s cover. If you want a book cover that surpasses your expectations..book Tim at Dissect Designs..it’s a no brainer."

"Tim of Dissect Designs came to my attention through Joanna Penn at creativepenn, a powerful voice in publishing, indeed. Even with such a recommendation, I could not have anticipated the high level of quality, care, talent, patience, generosity, and dedication that I experienced.

"Working with Tim has been a great experience from the very moment I contacted him with a request to design a cover for my book Wrath Of The Jaguar Man. Straight away, with the very first draft, he demonstrated that he perfectly understood my vision for the cover, capturing both the theme and the effect I was hoping to achieve with it. In addition, he was very responsive throughout the design process. The final result surpassed my expectations as Tim created a book cover that looks absolutely stunning. His design reflects high standards of creativity and professionalism. I would recommend Tim to anyone who wants a book cover that is a cut above the rest."

JL Holloway
Author of 'Wicked Fate'
“ I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tim of Dissect Designs to do any graphic or creative work.
We utilised his services to design a complete front cover, spine and back cover, plus all the barcode, author bio and ISBN integration for our book ‘The Benzo Devil”.
I am very meticulous, bordering on obsessive, and in some ways I found a fellow traveller with Tim as he stuck with me all the way while I made a myriad of minor changes to get a great end result. His service was prompt, professional and fun and I intend to work with Tim again on my next book. You can be assured of a great result with him. Go for it! “

Author of 'The Benzo Devil'
“I found Tim's website on Self-publishers showcase and I'm so glad I did. We connected immediately and made quick progress. He brought a hat-full of ideas to the table which was really helpful too.
Collaborating on an idea that is very dear to you can be a big ask, but Tim's service was equal to the task.
For any indie-authors out there, Tim's offer of rehashing the cover until you are happy is amazing. It really makes you feel like your input is wanted.
I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.“

"I looked at a lot of book cover websites before I chose Dissect Designs for my debut novel. The quality and variety of Tim’s work really caught my eye. I also liked the way he explained how it all worked—his website answered my questions and calmed my worries. Although we are half a world apart from each other geographically, Tim worked closely with me on every detail of the cover. He was unfailingly polite, helpful and cheerful, even when I changed my mind and went in a completely different direction from my first concept! I look forward to designing my future book covers with Tim."
Lona Manning
Author of 'A Contrary Wind'
"I am so thankful that I found Dissect Designs when it came time to have a cover created for my debut novel. Tim was extremely friendly, patient, and willing to put in all the effort and time needed to produce the perfect design. Over the course of 80 emails, he was able to take my vague ideas and make a brilliant book cover as well as social media banners and marketing materials. So many people have commented positively on it! I look forward to working with Tim again on my next book."

"Working with Tim was a great experience. On his first attempt, he designed me a beautiful book cover, perfectly capturing the mood of my new series. He delivered the work very quickly and to the highest quality. Tim has a great eye for attention grabbing, genre appropriate covers and I'm looking forward to working with him again soon."
Johanna Craven
Author of 'Bridles Lane'
“Tim, of Dissect Designs, is an incredible designer. He’s also one of the nicest people you will ever work with. I found him, through a very long cover designer list on Creative Penn. The designer I was going to go with, sadly, went out of business. By the time I found Dissect Designs, I kid you not, I had looked at over 30 websites. I was completely unhappy with their
quality, and their price. Then I found Tim’s website, and fell in love with his work. The fact that he charges a very reasonable price is a huge bonus, too. My advice to anyone needing a bespoke book cover, go with Dissect Designs. Tim and his work will not disappoint you. He’s fast, and he knows what he’s doing. Though we had to deal with quite the time difference, not even a day would pass before he responded to my very long-winded emails. He’s a pro, who will give your book its finishing, breathtaking detail that brings the story to life before the first page is even read.“
J.R. Vaineo
Author of 'The Kings Of Muraine'
"Tim, from Dissect Designs, is absolutely wonderful to work with! I spent weeks looking at so many different cover artists and their sites. I was really starting to despair of finding one that felt like the right fit. After plowing through countless artists, I found Tim. When I came across Dissect Designs, I fell in love with the imaginative artwork. It was different. Fresh. From the first email, I knew I found my artist. Tim was courteous, helpful, and so quick! He asked insightful questions, and was able to hone in on exactly what I was looking for, even when I was less-than eloquent in explaining my vision. His experience helped guide me to the perfect covers. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the near future on other covers in the series, and have no reservations recommending his work to others. He was truly a joy to deal with!"
