Cover Art & Book Design
…for two Asian fantasy novels: The Tale of Telsharu & The Scourge of Narak
Description: As publisher and co-developer of two Asian fantasy novels, I produced the cover art, and layout for both. Books are The Tale of Telsharu and The Scourge of Narak, both available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These books are also available as eBooks in both Kindle and ePub (Apple iBooks/Nook/etc.) formats.
My Roles/Contributions: Some art work was composed by others, but covers were designed and laid out by me in Adobe InDesign into a template provided by the printer.
Book layouts were composed entirely by me in Adobe InDesign.
I also did the eBook compositions/markup.
Graphic Details: Graphic feel was to show shadows in an Asian atmosphere. Title typeface was selected for its epic, somewhat Asian feel (URW’s Alcuin Display-Condensed SmallCap Bold). Body text throughout was composed in Adobe Caslon Pro typeface.
