About us

My book - The Elements of Academic Success, How to Graduate Magna Cum Laude from College (or how to just graduate, PERIOD!) - was written to help college students make good grades and succeed in college. The target audience includes college and high school students, and adults returning to school after time off. The book is an easy-to-use academic guide with 351 numbered topic sections in 10 chapters. It is formatted like Strunk & White's famous book, The Elements of Style. Please visit www.ElementsOfAcademicSuccess.com for the current cover, which is a little different from the one outlined here. There are also excerpts on the website to give you a feel for the book.

What's your vision?

I need a more exciting book cover for the softcover version of The Elements of Academic Success, How to Graduate Magna Cum Laude from College (or how to just graduate, PERIOD!). I need it formatted to CreateSpace's cover specs (300 dpi, etc.). I have a JPG of the current cover created in Photoshop that you can use to get started and I have CreateSpace's template for my 364 page, 6x9" book.

Book cover for "A Dinner Date with The Mad Duck" by Princess Umul Hatiyya Ibrahim Mahama

Book cover for "A Dinner Date with The Mad Duck" by Princess Umul Hatiyya Ibrahim Mahama

This book is the record of an intense, probing and ultimately life-transforming conversation between two people. One of the requests from the author was to include the figure of an "eccentric duck" in a dinner table eating sushi. The hat and the bow tie helped to give it a more "human" character. The landscape on the background also intensified how improbable would be such scenery.

Leaving Thomas

Leaving Thomas

Client: Tom Hartwell Year: 2016 — "In the summer of 2001, Tom Hartwell made the biggest decision of his life. After working in New York City for more than a decade, he decided to quit the Big Apple and attempted to live around the world, a different country each month. What he discovered was more enjoyable than he ever imagined. Ultimately, it was the only way for Tom to find out who he really was." Leaving Thomas is an autobiography from sneaker-fanatic Tom Hartwell that recalls his journey of self-discovery living in the fast-paced environment of New York City. The front cover jacket with the full-length rip down the middle and shaded face are symbolic of the divide between Tom's former self he no longer recognizes and the new person he's comes to understand himself to be. The poignant design flows through to the spine and back cover as well, all tying together for a handmade look that echoes the personal tone of Hartwell’s book.

Audiobook cover for “Blissful Heart” by Ronnie Ann Ryan

Audiobook cover for “Blissful Heart” by Ronnie Ann Ryan

This design was a layout proposal and was never published. The audiobook is a collection of 12 guided meditations aimed to single women looking for love (25 – 60 years). The client requested an inspiring and hopeful cover that should also be peaceful and comforting. I’ve chosen to create a very serene and clean design but full of meaning: the two lotus flowers that are the main spot of color (with a vibrant tone of fuchsia) represent the search for love between two people.
