The client specified a B/W uncluttered map in a slightly vintage style in keeping with the era it depicts.
The map was initially made using Adobe Illustrator, then saved as a Photoshop file so pen textures could be added to each layer.")

I used the state outline as a starting point, drawing an abstract landscape representing Nevada, the landscapes and players in the sustainability field (urban, forestry, water sources, farming, mountains and tourism).")

This shows good posture versus slouching posture. Several images were produced with a consistent style throughout, emphasis being on a sketched realistic texture to the figures.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/137/137214/attachment_137214520 "Client wanted a logo that represented Canada at a glance, and \"pain\". The star-like shape visually gives an impression of stabbing pain radiating out from a point.")

The map had to be reasonably accurate yet still have a hint of style reflecting the period the book is set in (1500s). Buildings representing several towns the protagonist visited needed to be included, and they had to be correct for c.1500.
Note: this was an initial run-through of the map. A later iteration had details added to Ireland, and some design tweaks.")

The client wanted something representing the Pineapple Express - it had to show a family meeting up with US military personnel, in the dark, as they escaped Afghanistan. The setting was the canal near the runway at Kabul airport. The father is holding up a cell phone with a pineapple symbol on the screen for the soldiers to see.
The painting is to be printed out at 36\" x 20\" and framed, then auctioned at a fundraiser.")

Drawn by hand in Illustrator with a subtle 17th century map style, set in the modern era. No scale was required, just specific locations mentioned in the book.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/156/156728/attachment_156728828 "The client wanted something very simple, not overly complicated in style, and they wanted sardines to feature prominently. I mimicked the overall shape of a food plate, keeping the logo contained into a highly versatile tidy circle. The logo works in one color, and in several.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/151/151544/attachment_151544733 "The client needed an eye-catching illustration that could be embroidered on to a sports shoe. It had to appeal to a variety of potential customers and be easily embroidered.
I chose an abstract wave, inspired by Polynesian art, with bold attention-grabbing colors. It added visual movement to the top of the shoe, and accentuated the flow shown in the sole cut outs.")

"As a writer, I am so appreciative of the calm and considerate approach taken for my project. I do believe I would be hard pressed to find anyone else that could do a better job. My tight deadlines have been met and my book will be off to the publisher ahead of schedule. I couldn’t ask for more. As I have heard expressed by others, under different circumstances, “You da bomb!” "
