:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/19/19060/attachment_19060807 "This was a rough sketch for a mystery novel (victorian era); the idea was to make an intriguing cover, with a subtle reference to the title...having the moon reflected in the lens of the character's glasses.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/17/17145/attachment_17145303 "These icons were designed for a sports and hunting mobile app, so a wood-cut style seemed to evoke the outdoors most effectively.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/25/25950/attachment_25950148 "What was unique about this novel was that the main character was a writer, so the fun from a visual point of view was to have this cover stand out from all the others who use the cliché 'gun on the cover' approach. The challenge was to work the title into the artwork for a truly original concept.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/36/36781/attachment_36781685 "This illustrates the final step of the design process. For this project we first used pencil studies (see portfolio for examples) to test ideas, with the contest holder guiding the process & only proceeded to the colour stage once the contest holder was satisfied with the design. This meant there was more time to try out a variety of ideas which meant more choice for the client. Trying to work backward from the colour stage means you have to not only redraw, but also re-colour the work. This means that in all likelihood, it won't happen at all because of time constraints.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/36/36749/attachment_36749786 "This contest perfectly illustrates the most productive design process: Testing out ideas in a sketch format with the contest holder providing the designer with timely feedback at this stage means changes can be made easily and quickly which is essential considering the time constraints the schedule imposes on the process. This is the best way for the contest holder to get the most out of the process. Trying to make changes once the design is fully coloured and rendered is difficult, time consuming, bogs down the process & ends up limiting your choices.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/30/30114/attachment_30114932 "This was a 'Viking themed' story, so using strong colours and sillhouettes helped to evoke siege and conquer & gave this cover an intimidating edge")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/56/56824/attachment_56824323 "The brief said they were looking for a mascot representative of the client, with a touch of goth (her jewelry design was heavily influenced by goth elements). There was a great opportunity here to create something that was visually strong - having some of the flame elements carry over into her hair. That alone could've become something uniquely identifiable to her work and brand, but it wasn't meant to be.
Unfortunately the client didn't offer any feedback whatsoever.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/27/27948/attachment_27948626 "Having the two main characters frame the catalyst moment of the story made for a visually dramatic and colour-rich cover.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/64/64253/attachment_64253955 "A completely original fully coloured painting.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/57/57092/attachment_57092983 "The brief was for a company that published pulp novels for LGQT community, so we went for a Star Wars inspired theme, but trashy.
This illustration was incredibly detailed and took a long time to paint.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/48/48582/attachment_48582533 "The location was what was significant as this was a co-operative studio, not any single person was a figurehead. This is why I focused on the number \"6\" as the iconic visual element. They were looking for something easily recognizable and simple.")

"They did a fantastic job by creating something I hadn't even envisioned when the contest started. I found the communication and turn around time of changes to be extremely responsive. The final product speaks for itself and we are very pleased! "
