Enlightened Master Seeks Apprentice" by Steve Bode — designed this book cover + full box set mockup (front, spine, back, and slipcase) around a single visual metaphor: a mind rooted like a tree, branching into growth.
The concept plays on the book's core idea — burning desire transformed into greatness — using a tree-silhouette-as-head illustration against a stark navy/cream palette for a premium, gallery-ready feel.
Deliverables: front & back cover, spine, dust jacket layout, and slipcase design — print-ready.
Open to book cover & packaging design projects — DM if you're working on a launch. 🎨

I did the Art Direction for one, and AI did the other.
AI wanted to give 'Bold' a symbol while I wanted to give it a meaning!

I hope the one I 'Cant ignore' is the one you did because it has an intent and feel AI can never generate. Love it
*fingers crossed*
I'm testing a few new backgrounds for detach, that tell the "screentime" level a bit more clearly. I'm not sure wether to stay with natural sky colors, or go all in with color! Wdyt?

Amazing Work😍
What if e-commerce websites were actually fun to explore?
This was a concept exploration ✨
It was all about turning a very ordinary e-commerce journey into something more visual, playful, and a little unexpected.
Now I’m curious about one thing:
Would this actually make you want to buy? Or would you bounce because it feels like too much for something as simple as frozen food?
Frozen food is actually the category where it can work, because the shelf equivalent is forty near-identical bags under the same blue light and nothing helps you choose. The bounce risk isn't the playfulness, it's whether motion ever sits between me and a price, a weight or a cook time. Keep those static and I'd stay.
