New author video and website

This just out from one of our sweetest and buffest authors, Holly Mosier: a really well-made video intro (and other videos as well) and a website that takes the look and feel of the cover design to a branded level. Congrats, guys. Nicely done!

Logo design for Brass Knuckles Media

I'm working on a new logo for my incredibly talented friend Shennandoah Diaz. She's starting a new "uncensored multimedia PR/Marketing firm catering to the innovative and ambitious." You can read more about Brass Knuckles Media here or at Shennandoah’s website.

She wanted something very in-your-face and rock-n-roll to match not only her no bullsh*t personality but also the creative clientele she wants to attract.

My favorite design is the first one shown above. It uses a free font I'd completely forgotten about—Bulldozer.

Series cover

One of my favorite authors is back with another chilling murder mystery. In the premier novel (see it here), the first victim is found with a square hole cut from her abdomen. In this story, the first victim is found clutching a pin. I've taken elements from the first novel—the typography, blood, geometry, and deathly pallor—and transmuted it for the new scenario.

Branding branding branding

If real estate's motto is "location, location, location," then the motto for a successful book series should be "branding, branding, branding."

I revised yesterday's comps to bring in more of the previous series' branding. We still kept the DaVinci man, though—for now. Below are the previous books and the new comps.

From book to audio

This is the CD case cover for the audio book version. This sleeve will be printed with the same brushed metallic foil that will appear on the book jacket. See the original book cover design here.
