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.

Two maps I created for the book (using Illustrator), plus the full dust jacket. (Click the little arrow next to the X at the top of this box to see a larger image.)

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.)

Cover of Scott Simmonds’ new book. The abstract background was created in Illustrator, then the color and text were done in Photoshop. Final trim size is 8.5 x 11 inches.

The third of 5 postcards.

The first two postcards in a series of 5. I was given the text for the backs and the phrases for the fronts, then had to find and purchase stock photos, manipulate them as necessary, select fonts and lay it all out. I did most of the work in Illustrator (except for photo manipulation in Photoshop, when necessary). Because the client hadn’t chosen a printer, I provided cmyk and rgb versions, in various file formats. The cards are 4x6 and meet all US Postal Service regulations.
