The
brief was a commission to create a book cover (front, spine and back)
for 'The Door into Shadow' by J.I.Thacker, the first in a line of six
novels. The cover needed to feature a bold image, the authors name
and the title of the book, in a consistent style for a dark fantasy
novel. It also needed to include reference to what number it is the
Shadowland series (I), a blurb, a byeline and the 'Laptop Cat'
publishing house logo, in a bold and memorable way.
Again there was strong communication with the client which meant that throughout successful alterations and compromises were made. In the end the book was physically published which felt like an amazing achievement. The feeling of having
the physical book after having worked on it so long, createed a strong
sense of pride and achievement. This is is something I will be able to use for my portfolio and on my CV I will be able to say I have had cover designs published.
