Daughters of a Winter Night

"The cover's main element is a silver tile crafted by the author's version of Elves or Guardians, protectors of the weave of Time, represented by an hourglass. We opted for a classic look over the typical illustrated characters of modern fantasy, blending elvish, nature-inspired imagery with hints of the story's characters. My work often combines illustration and hand-drawn typography. Here while the silver tile catches the eye, the hand-lettered title and author’s name capture the book's tone."

The Little Blue Door

"As I discussed image options with Francesca, the idea of a close-up blue door quickly became the winning concept. Focusing on the door would make the cover stand out and establish a visual motif for future covers in the series—whether a door, window, or entrance, each featuring a zoomed-in arch."

Of Friction

S.J. Lee

Designed by Jason A.

"The priority was to create a consistent series look across all three books, focusing on the protagonist's arm transformation as the story progresses. S.J. prefers minimalist compositions and wanted to pay homage to the Southern Reach series, which was a big influence. We used a gridded title treatment and a textured background interacting with the protagonist's hand, tied to the book's events. These core elements will be carried through the entire series."

It Ate One Hundred

"The cover illustration plays with the book's title, inviting the audience to initially think the story revolves around a "big cat who ate one hundred." However, the true essence lies deeper: the artwork symbolizes the harsh realities of survival in the wilderness, where unseen dangers lurk in every shadow. The aim was to evoke a sense of displacement, drawing the audience into the experience of being far from home and confronted with the vast unknown."

Eternal Seas (The Relic Hunters)

"We aimed to convey adventure, danger, and establish a fantasy world with young heroes. Middle-grade stories often use detailed, figurative illustrations, but I suggested a more graphic style inspired by cut paper. The colors are strikingly powerful and they are rarely used in this book category. The logo stands out beautifully, even as a thumbnail. Despite the amount of information depicted, the image remains very easy to read."

"This book tells a dynamic adventure tale that takes place in a lot of different locations, and the author wanted to feature these elements on the cover. I invoked a travel post illustration style to collage parts of the story into the design and used a textured font to match the type with the illustration. I love the interaction of the main character with the book title in this design."
