Cover Design for Contemporary Fantasy Crime Novel

When creating this design, I wanted to give the western appeal while trying to give it a modern approach. I incorporated some of the aspects they wanted such as the spider and wolves. I used a desert-style background and a modern day cowboy to give the western feel while utilizing the darker sky to give off the mystery tone of the book.

Western action adventure book cover

Brett Rawlins is a young man who inherited a ranch and Cimarron, a large red stallion, on the western slope of Wyoming's Bighorn mountains. He's betrayed by the woman he loves while his ranch is stolen by an ambitious newcomer from back east. Alongside his allies, a Cheyenne girl and an old Crow warrior, Brett must take back what's rightfully his.

Go West

I created this design by increasing the image size, cropping out the man and the bull, then burring the original image and adding the crop version over top to make the two really pop. This design was created for a Pro Bullfighter.

The Pursuer

The story about cowboy that's no more riding horse, but dragon only

Book cover contest winner

Client was open to other design concepts, but here is a concept he is thinking about right now: The body of a young (18-year old) cowboy is floating, lifeless, in a river. The hero of the book (the "accidental sheriff" from the first book in series) is trying to save him / get to his body. Perhaps the hero could be wading in the river to retrieve the young cowboy, or perhaps he could be on land, moving towards him upriver. Also, the hero has a pet dog -- a huge, wolfish-looking dog with thick gray hair -- that find the young cowboy. Maybe the dog could be part of the scene, too --- either in the river or on land.

Deal with the Devil

Ghost of the Guadalupe

= Book description = The book is a Western that takes place in Texas in the 1880s. The Guadalupe Mountains are heavily featured in the book, and the "Ghost" of the title is a mysterious figure who is rarely seen but protects the people who have settled near the mountains. (He is not a ghost, but a real person . . . there are no supernatural elements in the book.) = Design needs = One concept would be cowboys on horseback looking up to the mountains. Perhaps the mountains could appear mysterious somehow, either with fog/most or maybe there is a mysterious figure somewhere on the mountains.

Book cover design for James E Thomas

I listen to my client and I think about the wants of their target audience. A good book cover is like any good advert, it should make you HAVE TO pick it up. I feel the key to any design is understanding what the audience wants, a book cover should go beyond showing a scene from the book, it should convey the essence of the story in a dramatic, emotional and aesthectically pleasing way that says, "Hey! Read Me! I'm what you're looking for."
