Here's a little bit of a flash back for you today. For a while I was super obsessed with book cover design. I loved the relationship with the front, spine and back of the book; I loved focusing on the cover illustration; and I loved hiding humorous snippets within the details of the cover (those that were fictitious).
While I made quite a few during my undergrad (and beyond), are are a few to wet your interest.
Fun fact: I also created the logo for the fictitious publishing companies and had as much fun with those as I did with the covers themselves!
Completely made up this series (there was a male version as well). Note the author's name...
This is off of a real book that I read and really enjoyed—however I wasn't crazy about the cover photo because I didn't think it fit the content very well. So I made my own! I also have a special love for the publishing company's logo.
Not my usual style or color scheme, but I had fun with it... as a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, I felt special interest in this series. Looking back (this is from 2011), I can see that there is just too much going on on the cover.
This was the first book cover I ever did. Not a favorite, but still fun to look back on! I included the inside flaps for this design, something I quit doing before long, haha!

The Proverbs 31 design has always been one of my favorites! Love it!
