People are unable to see and do what they need to; their problems might seem to go away but in reality hide out and show again and again.
I think I hit the theme of the book.")

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.")

- 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! :-)")
