/99designs-contests-attachments/80/80360/attachment_80360793 "The story was a retro romance set in the '80-s, and most of the action took place in a diner. The author wanted a simple design portraying a diner, with a vintage feel, which I also emphasized by using a retro badge for the title.")

/99designs-contests-attachments/86/86871/attachment_86871499 "Humorous dark thriller.")
/99designs-contests-attachments/83/83003/attachment_83003366 "The author wanted a feminine, minimalist design that would feature a pair of red shoes. She wanted the cover to convey her advice for design, fashion, and shopping lovers, on how to spend money efficiently and control their addiction.")
/99designs-contests-attachments/84/84423/attachment_84423154 "The book is about a young woman, named Hope, who grew up in a small town in Ohio and moves to Aspen, Colorado after college to pursue a career as an artist. She immediately falls in love with Aspen, making friends, enjoying the outdoor recreation (hiking, biking, skiing), and meeting the man of her dreams. But when she says yes to marrying him, she has to move to Boston, away from the luxurious mountain town--the one place in the world where she feels like she belongs. Years later, even though she’s happily married with two young children, she still yearns to get back to Aspen. But when her husband dies in a tragic accident, she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, and finds herself on a journey of self-discovery. Eventually, she moves back to Aspen, rebuilds her life, heals from her loss, and finally begins painting again.")

The contest holder asked for an open book, and the designers had the liberty of adding any other elements. I thought this image was very expressive of the title \"Who's writing your life story?\"")

/99designs-contests-attachments/80/80580/attachment_80580839 "A non-fiction book consisting of advice on how to achieve happiness. The author wanted something fun and cartoon-ish, mostly based on text, but with one strong illustration, with bright colors that exude happiness and optimism.")

About
Need an original, outstanding design?
Here's why I am the right person to do it:
I harbor a deep passion for graphic design and I love to create book covers for a large range of genres and styles, from minimalist to complex designs. I've designed book covers for numerous authors, both debutantes as well as bestselling veterans. I deliver fast, quality work and usually offer my clients a bonus such as a FREE banner/ad/poster/teaser, etc.
