The client requested a cover for the sequel to THE ELUSIVE MOLE, (which I also designed for a book cover contest). For this second book, I changed up the color scheme to match the title, but kept the quirky font style, flat vector images, and the bright yellow byline to make it fit alongside the first book.")

I used some brushstroke overlays to create a soft, romantic color scheme that hints at the red and blue lights of an ambulance.")

Since the client wanted to appeal to fans of James Patterson and Robert Dugoni, I used a similar style with bold lettering, pops of red, and a background that depicts the setting without being too cluttered with detail.")

The client wanted a bold, comic-book feel, which I achieved by using images and fonts that are bold and slanting, so that everything feels loud, dangerous, and a bit off-kilter.")

The story also involves themes from Cinderella and the Nutcracker; the clock in the center of the two Nutcracker characters represents one of the connections between both stories.")

The client wanted something dark and mysterious that would hint at the setting and the secrets the characters would uncover throughout the book. With the tree silhouettes, I obscured the young woman, the wolf, and the moon, metaphorically showing how those elements are not all they seem.")
About
I'm an established writer and long-time hobbyist photographer whose passion for books and eye for aesthetics eventually led me into the world of book cover design. I love finding just the right combination of visual elements to capture the genre and tone of the book and grab the attention of the author's target audience.
I love science fiction and fantasy, but I have also branched out into other genres, especially romance, thriller, mystery, and nonfiction.
