:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/63/63814/attachment_63814910 "This cover was designed to reflect the beautiful, colorful, creative, abstract nature of the soul.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/63/63643/attachment_63643489 "This design was intended to represent the author's goal of, as his former childhood self, writing letters to his little brother to express the lessons he's learned now, as an adult.p")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/63/63245/attachment_63245226 "I chose to combine the elements relating to the character's Egyptian former life along with her modern-day reincarnated image of a strong, sexy woman, to create this bold design.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/59/59627/attachment_59627440 "I attempted to create the atmosphere of a warm and loving memorial display that one might find in a home that has recently lost a loved one, as I felt that such a scene best reflects the positive feeling and sense of hope desired. It is the appreciation of our memories of our lost loved ones, and the times we were able to spend with them, that powers us through the grief and allows us to move forward, after all.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/49/49655/attachment_49655398 "After several iterations and much exchange of idea with the author, I arrived at this finalist design.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/61/61776/attachment_61776228 "With this design I attempted to provide a creative, typographically based design for this book cover.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/49/49577/attachment_49577935 "I chose with this design to go against the grain of other contest entrants and use a humorous take on the theme, after finding the image of the man with smoke and letters pouring out of his typewriter. After several exchanges with the author, I added the stack of blowing pages to the back cover.
The entire design was created in Photoshop.")

In addition, I overlayed the title along the child's leg as if it is printed on the child's leg. The combination of the stark black and white image and the unique title layout provides visual interest and should prove attention grabbing, even at thumbnail sizes.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/61/61679/attachment_61679357 "Often the best cover designs are the ones that provide just enough to intrigue the reader and draw them into to investigate further. I believe that a design such as this, depicting a calendar with a bloody handprint, could provide such an effect.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/53/53584/attachment_53584492 "The Swedish title translates to \"He Is I Am\", so with this design I chose to show Christ's shadow bathed in light from above as a means of representing his direct bond with God.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/53/53424/attachment_53424667 "I expanded upon the author's original brief to create this cover, which displays the key elements of a cracked egg, a machete, and the quest of a boy to save the egg.")

"Fantastic. Very responsive. Great design---at least I thought so. Some whiner asked if I was serious in choosing it."
