As per the design brief, space has been left on the back of the product for handwritten information.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76865/attachment_76865539 "The client was looking for some very specific criteria.
Initially I had entered a photographic compilation to the contest, however took a different more flat design to show the author some diverse ideas.
. The story, being dramatic and at times apparently violent, called for a serious font, but one with ornamentation.")

They \"know coffee\", this guy has coffee on the brain. Literally.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76281/attachment_76281112 "I began with a thought about \"naked\"ness, and about clothes on the floor, which lead me to washing and washing lines, which brought me to pegs.
My thoughts were, theres more to nakedness in marriage than what happens between the sheets, sometimes you have to do washing too!
(contains stock imagery!)")

On beginning sketches I noted how otters were quite \"rectangle shaped\" and thought to myself \"what would an otter smart phone look like\" - as the CH worked in online media, mostly consumed on smartphones.
Here is the resulting image!")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/77/77070/attachment_77070422 "I have gone out on a limb here, with a completely radical, clean, simplistic (you don't often get those words in a sentence together!) design, in a contest filled with dark, dark images so far!.
The rationale here is, from the CH description/Brief, it sounds like despite the cacophony of \"strange\" going on in the main characters mind, he is still managing to get stuff done. Calm and coordinated on the outside (white), even though feathers are flying in his internal psyche.
The peace of the cover, and the turmoil/tension inside the book creates an allegory of the equilibrium in the main character.
Just a thought, processed into this cover.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76164/attachment_76164333 "Spring-boarding from the clients previous logo. The movement in the creates interest and represents growth (like ripples). Font is strong and professional.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76646/attachment_76646983 "I was inspired to try to create a rough collage type feel for this piece.
Film was a virtual reality horror with themes of eye gouging.

Initially I edited an image of a brick alleyway into an underwater scene with the floating material, however the client requested a more \"alabaster\" scene. The story, being dramatic and at times apparently violent, called for a serious font, but one with ornamentation.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76242/attachment_76242019 "Simple and Sophisticated, I wanted to edge away from the temptation to put a cartoonish owl icon in the design. The original idea was to have the feathers coloured/appearing like knives, however I kept it simple with a single coloured black outlined logo (applied in gold in the upper preview).")

Over
Hi! I have been dabbling in Graphic Design for friends and community organisations and programs for a number of years, but have recently taken the step to undertake a qualification in Graphic Design!
I love bright colours, geometric shapes, typography and the challenge of taking contest holders imagination and making designs which shine their light!
