The beautiful design for When the Tree Calls book cover is done! I am so happy with the final result! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Read all about the book here.

The process started back in late October (yes, October!)  I thought I knew what I wanted, but I was totally unfamiliar with the process. Given my very detailed ideas, the design company suggested I go the route of an illustration.

But round after round of revisions… it just wasn’t wow-ing me. It was the end of January when I finally decided that what I was seeing in my head was not translating well on paper, er, digitally.  So I scrapped it and went a completely different direction.

Instead of an illustration, I went with photo manipulation and digital painting. I ditched the object-based design ideas and opted for character based (WHAT?!). Yup.  And get this. I wanted them to come up with their own idea. Whoa.

Turns out, it was a good move. And it’s done. And I love it.
