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.

This is one of them, let me know if you’d like to see the others :)

Back to working on Detach! here's a sneak peek of the new Appstore Screens!
The raccoon mascot is such a fun choice for a screentime app, most of these go clinical and cold. Did the illustration style come before or after you landed on Detach as the name?
I’d probably reach for the vintage one first. The imperfections and color give it more personality, but the modern version feels more intentional and premium. Depends on whether the goal is nostalgia or standing out on a modern shelf.
Is minimalism doing this label a favor, or losing what made it charming? 🤔
Found this while flipping through a Japanese book of vintage canned food labels and decided to give one a rework. Same ham, completely different shelf presence.
Vintage approach: hand painted illustration,...
