The main objective was to transmit in the imagery the concepts of “Honor”, “Duty” and “Sacrifice” within an atmosphere of combat. However, I also kept some high contrasts and a certain dark style that gives a sense of mystery and suspense, as it is needed in thrillers’ covers.
It was also requested to connect the title and subtitle, forming a unique block, as well as a lettering that could convey a sense of “toughness”. The choice of the font and the scratched steel texture helped to achieve that goal.")

That's why i decided to use as my main design element a Rorschach inkblot. The inkblot was painted from scratch in Photoshop. I think the shape, apart from the meaning of it, conveys a sense of mystery that suits the genre perfectly.")

In this story the detective is ready to take a vacation, after high-stakes situations and near-death experiences. But those wishes are cut short when his past returns to haunt him, in the form of a Russian mobster.
Instead of showing a real scene, I decided to create a representation of the plot in which the story takes place. In the image Edgar Vincent is just ready to enjoy his deserved vacations… when the events of his past come to spoil his plans. That is why he is looking back in the direction of what is a visual representation of Russia.
This idea is also associated with the choice of the color Red. The vibrant tone creates impact and a certain mystery, reinforced by the contrast of intense lights and shadows.")

Edgar Vincent, however, cannot sit still while this injustice is carried out in the name of his partner, and decides to hit the mean streets of Chicago to track his buddy down, playing detective against the orders of his superiors, facing Chicago’s more sinister characters in the process.

An international crew embarks on a flight to Mars, when they’re awaken by the emergency protocol. The chaos and destruction reign on board, making impossible to complete the mission to their final destination... or even to return to Earth. The journey into nothingness begins.
Apart from requiring a spaceship with a specific shape, damaged and with visible signs that would represent the unfortunate events, the client also wanted to convey the impression that the ship was drifting and completely lost in space.
Therefore, I decided to place it in a certain way (in the diagonal) in order to give a sense of instability, to better represent its critical situation while is being destroyed and outside of its route.
The effects that I gave to the title also reinforce that destruction, where the metal appears scratched and burned.

In book 1, “Hollow Green\", young women are murdered during a snowy winter. One of the victims is found in a colonial old house, which can be seen as a central detail in the design.
The cover was made to catch the curiosity of the viewers and to transmit a sense of mystery and fear, but without revealing too much of the story.
In book 2, “Hollow’s Eve”, the brutal murder of a young man is committed in the woods. While investigating, the detective’s fingerprints are found riddled throughout the crime scene.

The diagonal form of the buildings gives a great depth to the cover, also helped by the running man and the strong light at the end of the street. This contrast between zones of light and shadow was made to create impact and transmit a sense of mystery.
Since the story has to do with the malicious, mesmerizing effect of a presence on social media, the author wanted to include some kind of electronic device (mobile, tablet or computer).
However, I also added some details as a watermark, like the circular grid with the zero and one numerals, in order to have a certain \"technological atmosphere\".
