:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/2943411/a2a9d17d-e6a9-4633-93bf-65a7cd5217d6 "This is a mysterious romance by a prolific author, who wanted something very different from his main series. I really like how this one came together - the class that's obvious in the couple, the slighly retro, sepia-tinted vibe, and the elegant and slightly ghostly typeface.")

I enjoyed creating this beautiful cover where the main character looks a little older and wiser than she did in the first book.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/110/110768/attachment_110768097 "The author wanted the color yellow to feature prominently in the cover. As anorexic girls often want to sort of disappear, figuratively speaking, I conveyed that with this image, and it spoke to the author.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/87/87798/attachment_87798194 "Fun, retro, bright, imaginative, whimsical, innovative.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/114/114710/attachment_114710865 "In a world of minimalist covers, I decided to go for a bright, eye-catching colorful cover, with a bulletin board theme.
This cover is available if you'd like to save yourself the contest fees; we can personalize it for you in a 1:1 project!")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/106/106203/attachment_106203079 "I wanted to offer the author something sexy, yet classy. I wanted it to be dramatic and elegant. They really liked the \"Gatsby-type\" font used as well.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/114/114657/attachment_114657350 "The author wanted the peach to be reminiscent of female anatomy to provoke interest. He wanted the text to be bold and for the cover to be eyecatching.
The challenge was for it to be provocative but not vulgar.")

They are colorful, attention-seeking, and very illustrative of the books (which I read and enjoyed very much!) Thankful to the client for finding me here on 99D to help with her project.")

One of the first things I do is to read his manuscript. This is not only enjoyable, but it always helps inform me as to what elements in the story may be pulled out in the book. Happy author, happy designer, it's really the best outcome!")
