The final jacket design for Ismaili and Fatimid Studies in honor of Paul E. Walker. The editor originally wanted nothing but the title on solid blue, but I suggested a simple, geometric design loosely based on traditional Middle Eastern tile work.

A (faked) 3d image of the most recent book in the Chicago Studies on the Middle East series. I’ve done the covers and page layout of every book in the series. The book came back from the printer in early May, 2010. 305 pages, hardcover with dust jacket, 2 maps, 3 appendices, an 11 page index, and blue cloth with the spine die-stamped with gold foil. Link to its sale page coming soon.

The front panel of the dust jacket of a newly completed scholarly monograph (hard cover). The image (from a mid-19th century work) originally had all the ships clustered against the shoreline, so the entire drawing was a narrow, horizontal rectangle. I moved some out further so the drawing would better fit the vertical rectangle of the cover. I also slightly enlarged those ships to give a little bit of perspective.

A newly-finished cover design for a book aimed at high school graduates. All the text elements in this image have been changed to nonsense because the actual book is not yet published (it’s in process). Click the arrow (next to the X in upper right corner of this rectangle) to see a larger version.

Book cover for upcoming paperback. Colors might change a bit, but this looks like it’s going to be the final layout. Drawing the scroll/banner part was the most fun part. Did the whole cover in Illustrator (except photo editing in Photoshop).

The cover of a mystery novel. This is the paperback cover—click HERE to see the dust jacket I designed for the hardcover. The handprint of ashes relates to the subject of the book (mysterious arson in Boston in the early 1960s) and the main character’s discovery of his own identity.

Faked 3d image of the novel’s back cover.

I did the cover and layout of this dental book for a dentist in Texas. She supplied the text of the 7 chapters and the logo, and I created the cover, found appropriate photos for the cover and some pages (and then retouched and adjusted them as necessary—one model in a dental-themed photo had yellow, dirty teeth!), and put the whole thing together. I also made her a 3 foot x 4 foot poster based on the cover design. It was a rush job: from start to finish it took under 3 days. (This image is fake: I used Photoshop actions and a lot of tedious redrawing to make the 3D booklets and the table top.)
