Conceptualization & Design
Understanding comes first! We always begin by understanding your book’s message, tone, and audience. Through brainstorming, mood boards, and concepts, we create the basic foundation for your project.
Many readers today are looking for visual aids or flair in books, something that makes them stand out. This is why we offer captivating book illustrations that are presented in a style suited to your genre and audience. Whether it’s a children’s story or a graphic novel, our illustration services bring a visual style to the table that communicates exactly what you want!
Book covers aren’t the only place where illustrations matter. Whether it's a history book or a fantasy story, a good illustration can help many readers visualize characters, or can even give them vital information in the case of maps. Other book formats, such as comics, graphic novels, etc., are built around illustrations from the ground up, and this is a big reason for their enduring popularity.
We create colorful, engaging children’s artwork using styles that support cognitive development and the vibrancy and whimsy needed for children’s books. And you can be as involved as you like on every step of the way to make sure the layout and visuals appeal to young readers!
These are ideal for both print and digital formats. We can do clear and effective educational designs in both minimalist and detailed ways, with a team that can adapt to each subject’s needs, using effective visuals and coordinated color schemes.
Manuals are always difficult. Not for us! We can design illustrated manuals that simplify complex content. Depending on the task, we can also add color-coded elements, clean line work, and visual aids.
Creating a comic means you need to capture the plot with dramatic and detailed illustrations. Whatever the look you’re looking for, our designers stay up-to-date with comic and animation styles. So, whether it’s creative character design, lettering, or landscape, our comic art always stands out.

Our seasoned illustrators produce rough drafts and layout sketches based on the approved concepts. Remember, you can be as involved as you want! You’ll always have the opportunity to review and request adjustments before we move into the final stages.
Once drafts are approved, our brilliant designers digitally render the artwork. The team adds detail, shading, texture, and color using advanced software, focusing on capturing the look, feel, and mood you’re looking for.
Finally, illustrations are polished and delivered in appropriate formats & resolutions. Our team makes sure everything meets the needed technical specs for publishers or printers.
I came to Noble Books with a half-finished manuscript and a lot of doubt! But they worked a real miracle with it. The editor assigned to me was sharp, honest, and (thankfully!) patient. When that first box of books arrived at my doorstep, I cried. Thank you for making this real!
I was skeptical not gonna lie, but these guys really pulled through. Noble was solid from the jump. Clear timelines and a lot of communication, which is what I was looking for. Now my novel is out and I’ve already got readers emailing me. Unreal.
What I loved was the cover design. They didn’t slap some generic cover on my memoir. They listened to what I had to say, they sent options, everything. When I held the final copy, I couldn’t believe how amazing the art was. I felt so proud of my book and so thankful that they’d done suuuuch a good job!
Let me preface, I’ve worked with a few publishers before. But Noble had the least painful process I’ve ever seen. Every step was well structured and communication was regular(!!!), and the editing was genuinely good. They even helped me brainstorm my sequel. Will work with them again in a heartbeat.
As a first-time children’s author, I was reeeaaally nervous! But Noble walked me through the manuscript to the formatting to finding an illustrator who did the most beautiful art I could’ve imagined of my characters! I was really scared of the process at first, but they made it feel possible. Thank you!! 😊
They worked on a book we coauthored. Very responsive. And they delivered on every promise. The kicker is that they went above and beyond on the marketing, finding a ‘niche’ we didn’t even know the book had. Very nice.
