Katrina Maxwell wrote this book for younger children (ages 0-5) but always keeping the same yoga theme. The author is a Speech-Language Pathologist & Children's Yoga Instructor with a passion for education and travel.
The illustrations, created by another artist, also had this specific audience in mind. Therefore, the original characters have a more youthful appearance in this book.
In the typesetting project, I specifically chose different placements for the texts in order to keep the children’s attention, as well as to make the book more fun to read.
On the book cover I extended the wave to the back, to give it a leading role throughout the design. It also helped to distribute all the information that needed to be displayed, as well as to keep the entire exterior of the book completely balanced.")

This is a story about the search for a magic sword, which needed to figure prominently on the cover. The descriptions of the author leaded to a Viking style, with a touch of horror and almost alien feel.
In the design I wanted to transmit that the sword had special characteristics, a unique piece, that would seem almost “alive”.
However it wasn’t easy to decide where the main details should be placed, in order to keep it “usable”, as it were a real sword that is meant to be handled and strong enough to fight a battle.
The eyes in the background and the big red moon helped to give the desired impact.")

Although the author didn't have any specific requirements at the beginning of the process, she had a preference for a \"woodsy look/feel\".
A lot of the action takes place in the small log house on a lake in Minnesota, where the main character lives. The author wanted to show how that home was her sanctuary. So, the chairs on the deck in front of the lake helped to transmit that idea.
There is also a detail in the back cover that appears in all the books of this series — the inclusion of some hairdresser instruments, to better make the connection with the main theme.")

As this is the first book of a set of several new series, the author requested a slight different approach, in relation to what had already been done on the previous books, as long as it would fit her already very well known brand.
When I made the research of the publishing design trends within this genre I noticed that, whenever there's a cover with an image in a big scale, it stands out from the others in an incredible way, specially when they have a face looking at the viewer.
I immediately remembered how the eyes of the models (and a particular gaze) is one of the details that identify so many of this author’s books — the direct look at the reader, that catches the attention and also seduces, is almost her trademark.")

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.")
