For her novel, Single Player, Jaimie didn't want her main female character's face to be visible. Though her book is quirky, the subject matter is quite heavy, dealing with fear and even grief. Clearly, the cover couldn't look cheesy. My design goal was to capture the fun and quirkiness of the story while juxtaposing it with the gravity of the circumstances. To prevent the cover from becoming cluttered, I chose to include the cancer ribbon and the gaming console right into the title. This gave me more space to play with. I took advantage of the entire full jacket and I created the scene I envisioned: a young woman laid on the couch in her room and a cute black lab waiting eagerly to go outside for new adventures.
