:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/83/83497/attachment_83497304 "- I looked at market trends but also at what would stand out. The white background with ghosted imagery fit the Lee Child / James Patterson mould, whilst still standing out from the usual dark jackets on the shelf/screen.
- No reverse photo of the model on the cover was available. I used Krita to alter the silhouetted photo to be the model from the back, not the front.
- The client was fantastic to work with, revising the blurb when I felt it would have more impact as a shorter piece of text, and providing good input throughout. Together I think we've achieved a punchy jacket that fits the genre but stands out visually.")

- A coffee pot is used in the murder, so the coffee turns to blood as it pours... but in a non-gory way, to fit the genre.
- Magnifying glasses are the classic 'whodunnit' signifier, and they bring into focus the paw prints and bones, showing dogs, as well as coffee beans from the scene of the crime.")

In today's business world, we have all this technology and data to guide us, but when it comes to human behavior and performance, it's like we're stuck in the past. Most employees aren't engaged at work, and this has been a problem for a long time. The book argues that we need to pay more attention to the culture within organizations to fix this.
Basically, culture is the secret sauce that can make or break how people perform at work. When it's good, everything runs smoothly, and when it's not, things can grind to a halt. Ben Ortlip explores how understanding and shaping this culture is the key to getting the best out of people at work.")

- I settled on a movie poster style layout, with heroes at top and the world-building detail below. The spaceship selected wasn't too dynamic, so I added in some ships that I mocked up from model components and photographed.
- Image editing, compositing and digital painting was done in Krita. Typography and layout done in Inkscape.
- The cloud effect was done with layers upon layers of Krita painting, and took a lot of work to get to client's satisfaction - I erred toward less, she wanted more. She was right! It really blends the imagery, hides the unwanted digital sharpness of the soldier, and cnojures the world the author wanted to evoke.
Fun and challenging project - more please! :-)")

I based the style on classic techno thrillers such as Michael Crichton or Tom Clancy.
The red stripes suggest Nazi party flags at the top without showing swastikas, and the ghosted red shapes are rallying soldiers. The stripes unify the design elements and lead the eye down the page.
The plan was from stock art, all other elements drawn by me. There was no final blurb so I added the above based on competition details. I wanted the back cover to be as pacy and punchy as the front, to keep reader's interest so they take the book to the till and buy it.")

My initial cover that was more 'SF movie poster' - lights and colour to suggest sci-fi. The author wasn't keen on style or protagonist's looks.
I kept the gangsters and car, then I selected 5 different models. One of them was spot on for the author's mental image of the protagonist.
Now I chose the best pose to hold a locket. I photographed my hand holding an item and composited that in. White light around it shows the SF element.
To portray time travel I added a 1920s street, juxtaposed against the present day.
Colour was done by layers of digital painting over black and white images, to marry a range of image sources effectively. I used Krita's textured brushes and blends.
I designed new typography and layout in Inkscape to fit better into the thriller market.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/84/84473/attachment_84473969 "The brief asked for specific elements to be featured on a chick lit-style cover.
I opted for a commercial women's fiction look, simple illustration and silhouetted main character, with a feminine colour palette.
Everything was assembled in Inkscape. Silhouette, paintbrush and the splashes of paint were from stock images; mountain, sign and design elements drawn by me. Type chosen is typical for the genre.
Overall effect is a strong, commercial look that stands out on screen or bookshelf.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/83/83061/attachment_83061491 "- The author wanted to show a spaceship being controlled by someone's mind. The woman has cables and plugs running into her neck. The blue energy running between her and the ship shows this, plus the ship being a different colour to the rest of the squadron emphasises its uniqueness.
- I made the spaceships from model kit bits and paint canisters. I photographed them and edited the shots in Krita.
- The space background is a composite of several free stock images.
- I made extensive use of Krita digital painting to composite imagery, and to create the nebula/clouds and laser effects.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/84/84033/attachment_84033780 "- This was some way from the author's initial brief, but their idea of a flower with a single petal left struck me. I expanded that into this cover. I'd say it's positioned as toward the mass market end of literary fiction.
- The even rythmn of the simple typography interspersed with petals is elegant, and echoed on the back cover with similarly spaced-out synopsis.
- The whole is meant to intrigue and slightly unsettle.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/84/84755/attachment_84755857 "- The novel is set in a prison, and the author wanted a stark, oppressive look. I added interest by setting the background imagery 90 degrees to the text, so you have to change your POV to read it. It gives little clues that intrigue the potential reader.")
