Smoking Frog Lives!

Now that this book is finally going to print I can share this cover here. An interesting tidbit about this one is that I used one of my own photos to add texture to this layout. As always, click the images to view them larger.

Event Postcards

Here are some postcards I have design for various events for the Center.

Event Posters

Since I've been working at the Center I've had the opportunity to design posters and collateral for a number of events. Here are a few examples of event posters that I've designed.

(This poster should be red, but for some odd reason is uploading as blue.)

Stonewall 40th Anniversary Poster

I had the pleasure of getting to design this template for posters for this project commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Stonewall. The 30 x 40" posters will be featured in windows down Christopher St next month. I look forward to seeing the final outcome. Be sure to click the image below so you can see the larger version. Thank You to the LGBT Center for the opportunity to work on this project.

No Place To Run

There's a funny story about the design of this cover for No Place To Run, but I won't go into it just now. Perhaps when I do a follow-up post it'll be somewhat evident. Again, this is just a single jpeg and I'll try to post seperate jpegs for the front and back covers soon. Best viewed by clicking on the image.

The Simian Bridge

Here is the dust jacket for Ray DiZazzo's first novel, The Simian Bridge. This is the full, uncropped design, complete with all the extra bits. I'll post a couple of cropped images later for better viewing. As always, the image is clickable, so be sure to click it for a better look.

Adrian Kerley, A Boomer's Path

This is a book cover I did for a freelance client. I completed the work on this in December, but I've not gotten to see the final outcome yet. I decided to go ahead and post this anyway, since the work is finished.

(Front cover, including front flap, spine, and bleeds.)

I had a lot of fun creating this scene from a handful of source images, most of which were provided by the author. Much time went into making it all look as though it belonged together, as the scene is actually composited from several photos. The castle alone is made up of two photos, then the hill it is standing on is made up of another two another photos, and I used separate photos for the sky and the path. Including all the text layers, this composite is made up of about thirty-six layers.

(Back cover, including back flap, spine, and bleeds.)

I would recommend clicking on the images to view them at a larger size.
