Between Us — Cover Design
The main challenge was capturing the intimacy, love, identity, and emotional vulnerability of the poetry collection in one powerful visual.
I used a warm sunset, city skyline, and intimate human connection to create a feeling of love, reflection, and belonging. The soft peach and purple tones, expressive typography, and subtle heart details give the cover a modern yet emotional identity.
The front, spine, and back were carefully matched to create a cohesive, polished design that reflects the author’s message and connects naturally with its target readers.
The result is a cover that feels personal, authentic, and emotionally inviting.

In Between the Lines — Cover Design
The main challenge was capturing the emotional, reflective nature of poetry while keeping the design elegant and timeless.
I used a warm sunset, ocean landscape, open journal, and soft neutral tones to create a feeling of love, loss, healing, and quiet reflection. The refined typography and minimal decorative elements keep the cover sophisticated without overwhelming the imagery.
The front, spine, and back were carefully coordinated to create a clean, cohesive, and premium look that reflects the author’s voice and the emotional experience of the poetry collection.
The result is a calm, beautiful cover designed to make readers feel the poetry before they even open the book.

The Lost Crown — Cover Design
The main challenge was capturing the epic fantasy, magic, and adventure of the story while keeping the cover elegant and professional.
I used a dramatic fantasy landscape, magical elements, rich purple and gold tones, and strong cinematic imagery to create an atmosphere of mystery, power, and destiny.
The typography, spine, and back cover were carefully coordinated to give the entire design a cohesive, premium look that reflects the author’s vision and appeals directly to fantasy readers.
The result is a cover that feels magical, immersive, and instantly communicates the world waiting inside.

Death by Chapter — Cover Design
The main challenge was balancing the book’s cozy small-town charm with its murder-mystery suspense. I created a warm evening atmosphere with a charming bookstore, glowing streetlights, flowers, and subtle darker tones to maintain the mystery.
I carefully matched the typography, colors, imagery, and decorative details to the author’s vision and target readers. The front, spine, and back were designed as one cohesive package, giving the book a polished and professional finish.
The goal was simple: make the cover beautiful enough to attract readers while visually telling them what kind of story awaits inside
