Peak of Creativity
I had a wonderful time collaborating with Deanna on the cover of her memoir. She shared a detailed proposal outlining her vision for a mountain peak view with ridges, trees, a river, and a path, plus God’s hand clasping hers in the foreground. We focused on subtle hands in clouds, natural elements to symbolize life influences and connections.
Using her photos for inspiration, I balanced colors, light, and shadows to capture darkness and hope. Started with mockups exploring ideas, refined based on feedback to the final design she loved. The process fit her timeline for January publish, ensuring print-ready PDF with bleed.
Work in progress
Initial Concept Sketches
Initial concept 1 features a close-up of hands held in the foreground, set against a mountain landscape with ridges and trees under a cloudy sky. This rough collage emphasizes connection and journey, with yellow title text overlay.
Initial concept 2 shows a family walking a path through green valleys and snowy peaks, with a bright blue sky and golden title, highlighting hope and exploration.
Initial concept 3 This one focuses purely on the environment: a vibrant mountain landscape with snow-capped peaks, and green valleys under a bright blue sky with dramatic sunlight rays.
