Caught - Historical Novel

Caught - Historical Novel

I wanted to create a cinematic layout that screamed historical romance. The woman was photo manipulated to resemble the characteristics of the heroine and the duel scene at the back cover was created out of different stock elements. I also added some aging effects to the title font to make it look more appropriate for this genre and give a more unique feel to the overall layout.

Book cover for “Help! Ik Verveel Me” by Karin van Driel

Book cover for “Help! Ik Verveel Me” by Karin van Driel

“Help! Ik Verveel Me” (translated from Dutch "Help! I’m bored") is the story about Sarah, an 11 years old girl, and a crazy idea of her parents: a week without a phone. Without it, Sarah doesn't know what to do. But because she is bored, she dreams about so many things and she finds out that a little boredom is not so bad. It makes her creative. The design was made using some of the illustrations of Charmaine Lam, that also appear in the interior of the book. As these illustrations represent drawings as being made by a child, I kept the same style in order to respect the initial vision of the illustrator and the author. I had to dedicate a special attention to all the new elements that were added to the book cover. For that, I followed the same kind of trace and textures of the existing images. However, the colors were slightly intensified to catch the attention of the viewers. The choice of fonts also helped to give a certain “childish style” to the entire design.

Book cover for “A Place for Grayson” by Kaitlin Kalagher

Book cover for “A Place for Grayson” by Kaitlin Kalagher

This book is about Grayson, a young adult that struggles with drug addiction and his girlfriend, Emily, a recovering alcoholic. Emily takes her sobriety very seriously, while Grayson has not been able to make that commitment yet. Instead of showing the characters, I decided to go for a more symbolic approach, in order to make it different from the common romance books. I used the contrast between cold and warm tones to transmit the concept of “choices” that the characters need to make in their lives. In this design the blue tones represent the sad and numb life of addiction, the struggles and the dramatic consequences… and the yellow/orange tones represent the recovery and the achievement of finally become sober. Grayson is still struggling in a “cold life”, while Emily has already overcome her battle. The orange flower is Emily that blossoms from branches that seem to be almost dry. While Grayson is still the cold reflex in the water of what can become his future.

Book cover and illustrations for “The Mysterious Fire” by Ieasha Powell

Book cover and illustrations for “The Mysterious Fire” by Ieasha Powell

This is the final result of several projects to produce all the graphic elements for the first book of the “Wonders of Windsor Mystery Series”, which stories talk about the adventures of a small group of children in their hometown. The original characters were designed by Sharad Kumar and Manel Mendoza. The following characters, that appear throughout this story, were created by me with the same technic of the first ones (in Adobe Illustrator). The biggest challenge designing the book cover, but specially when making the illustrations, was to keep faithful to the original style and physiognomy of each character, while putting them in different poses and situations. It was important that they would gain life but still being easily recognized. The other elements of the book, like the symbols of each chapter, as well as the representation of the series, were made following the same graphic line of the logo, that I had previously designed.
