The goal was to balance the novel’s themes of gender, identity, politics and social satire with its absurd sci-fi premise, without making the design feel like conventional science fiction.
A UFO abduction beam becomes the central compositional device, framing Valeria while naturally carrying the title toward the London skyline. The limited red, blue and pink palette, oversized typography and playful retro-inspired graphics give the cover an irreverent editorial character that reflects the book’s humor while keeping the alien premise immediately recognizable.")

Stewart. The single gold fishing hook creates a striking visual metaphor for temptation and the deceptive nature of sin, paired with refined typography and generous negative space. A clean, contemporary approach to Christian publishing, theology, faith-based nonfiction and religious book cover design.")

The cover captures the vast beauty of South Africa's desert landscapes through layered illustration, warm earthy tones, and integrated typography that becomes part of the scenery.
Rather than relying on photography, the design uses symbolic visual storytelling to reflect themes of adventure, conservation, identity, and the search for freedom. Small narrative details hidden throughout the landscape reward closer viewing while maintaining a clean, contemporary editorial aesthetic.
Designed for both print and digital publishing with a strong focus on readability, emotion, and shelf impact.")
