Our Anti-AI Policy

Powered by Plot Twist & HEA, not Algorithms.

At Shutterbug Designs, we believe authors deserve book covers that are crafted with genuine skill, creativity, and care — not generated by an algorithm.

Our Commitment to You

Every cover we create is designed by hand using professional design methods, licensed photography, and carefully selected graphic elements. We do not use AI-generated imagery, AI compositions, or AI design tools in any part of our creative process.

What That Means for Your Book

  • Authentic artistry — your cover reflects real creative decisions, not machine outputs
  • Licensed resources — all stock images, fonts, and graphic elements are legally licensed
  • Exclusive designs — once purchased, your cover is yours alone
  • Transparent process — we're happy to discuss our tools and methods with any client

Why It Matters

AI-generated imagery raises serious questions around copyright, originality, and ethics in publishing. Many retailers, publishers, and author communities are increasingly scrutinising AI-generated cover art. By choosing Shutterbug Designs, you can confidently represent your book knowing your cover was made by a real designer who cares about your work.
