I've recreated the atmosphere of that time, not only through the costumes of the characters but also with the dark and mysterious environment.
The contrast between the intense lights and the shadows transmits the dramatic feeling that was required.")

He is invited to join a training program, set in a specialized summer camp called Campus Gaea, where he will be able to improve his skills and grow into a powerful member of the Band of Fire.
The request of the author was to represent James in the environment of Campus Gaea (a scouting style camp), following some characteristics of the tents (colors, shape, placement) in order to match the descriptions on the book.
The wolf (a character that guards the camp) and the Phoenix (a beautiful, flame red colored, large bird that is James companion) were also some of the requested details.")

My approach was connected with the book's purpose: to be a “gift” for mothers such as Mother's day or their birthday.
Gifts have the objective of making people we care about feel appreciated. So, why not to “wrap” the book to make it look exactly like a gift? This way the intention of sons/daughters is perfectly clear and “visible”, and the joy of moms by receiving it can be even stronger. They would feel that they didn’t just receive a book… but a deserved “gift”.
My idea was also to create a design style that could be suitable for all the ages. With this idea the book can be an offer for a mom with a newborn baby, as well as to an elderly mother that receives this gift from her already adult sons.
As the client requested, I also had in mind that the design should be easily adapted to other members of the family: dad, grandma, grandpa… The idea of “the gift” can be continued, changing colors and some of the elements.")

The request from the author was to include several elements representing the story (the main character, a broken mirror and an apple) but always having the “Gothic style” in mind. This is usually made by creating a darker design, with high contrasts and a “mysterious atmosphere”, almost dramatic.
Therefore, I made the entire cover with a grey color scheme, even if that grey has some soft tones (like a light purple or silver). This also gave the possibility to highlight small details, by being the only spots with a strong color, like the drop of blood in the main title and also the apple.
The font I chose for the title is quite suitable for the dark fantasy genre and its “pointed corners” helped to match the model’s long nails. It gives a mixture of a sophisticated and dramatic feeling, showing that this is not exactly a “sweet romance”.")
