Custom Book Cover Design directly for the author
The author hired me to design a very specific type of imagery he had in mind to make his book cover design unique but personal to both himself and the story. A post-it, with a bloody kiss-print and just roughly and slightly showing something written onto the backside, shining through only barely visible where there is no blood.
He appreciated the clean cover version in white, including even the post-it in white, as a highlight of meaning. This design still says “Verlag" ("Publisher”) as at the time it was a cover for his finished but unpublished draft.
It was challenging and fun to create, and I included some fun DIY in the form of melting lipstick and mixing it with oil for the effect. Worked well!
