Logo Design: Movella Portrait & Design
This logo was done for a wonderfully talented photographer (who, full disclosure, just happens to be my lovely wife) and harkens back to the glamorous days of 1950’s cinema. Back before we new how weird celebrities can be.

Book Cover Design: Sultana
“Sultana” by Lisa Yarde. I enjoy title design very much and this is another one in which I focused a lot on it. I sampled lots of scripts relevant to the time period and and came up with something that felt just right for the story. The front covers of “Sultana” and “Sultana’s Legacy” were made by compositing 19th century Orientalist paintings. The front cover of the Omnibus is all me doing the illustration thing. Fabricating the textures, architectural elements, reflections, and leaves blowing in the wind on this one was really fun.

Book Cover Design: The King Must Die
The King Must Die by N. Gemini Sasson. I did quite a bit of photo manipulation on this cover. This guy’s cheek was covered in sand and I had to create a velvet texture to match his cape. We needed just a bit more room for Gemini’s name down there.

Book Cover Design: Hang On
“Hang On” by Nell Gavin. Though this story is set in an energetic world of Rock and Roll, it’s a rather introspective tale of a young girl’s struggle with her own mental health. The goal in designing this cover was to capture all of the energy of a rock concert without detracting from that. This was accomplished by showing the anticipatory moments before the show, subduing it with that cool blue tone and having it shot through with an electric shock of pink to direct attention at the source of the real action.
