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.")

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.")

They needed a logo that showed the skyline of Columbus, Ohio, with lights hanging above it. I designed a logo that would work both on a white background and a dark color, including distinctive features such as a city bridge and unique buildings that would be instantly recognizable.")

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.")

The client wanted a similar style to a previous logo, and a particular view for the mountain range.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/160/160006/attachment_160006152 "The client wanted something that looked like an outfitters logo, very outdoorsy and landscape-oriented. There are three color variants shown here.")

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.")

"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!” "

"Pixeleiderdown brought both technical precision and genuine craft to a complex project. I needed a historically specific route map covering a 1966 journey through North Africa and Europe — with dated itinerary, distinguished route types, and period-appropriate styling — and the result exceeded expectations. Communication was clear throughout, file delivery was comprehensive (AI, PNG, JPG in both legend configurations), and the attention to details like the “blown off course” notation in the Mediterranean showed real engagement with the material. First of three maps for this project. Already looking forward to continuing the collaboration."
