PRAISE FROM THE CLIENT |
"When I opened Angela’s portfolio the first time, it took my breath away. I knew then that I was looking at a rare artist whose work showed her talent, her skill and her imagination. Her technique was so flawless that you didn’t notice the medium, but the story and emotion that she had endeavored to express on the page. I know that her work has evolved since that moment when I first saw it, but the evolution is something wonderful in and of itself. You will never be disappointed when you choose Angela to assist you in whatever art or graphic design project you need done." - Nancy Jackson
Client and author Nancy Jackson was creating a new book series and was looking for full-color dust jacket designs for each book in the Redemptions series and Choices Like Rivers, as well as accompanying eBooks, audiobooks, and social media graphics. The goal for the Redemption Series covers was a cohesive aesthetic for the series as a whole while attributing to each cover its own unique design, relevant to the title and story. Each cover was to feature a grayscale background with imagery relevant to the story, and in vivid color, the element represented in the title (Blood, Water, and Fire, respectively.)
WILD IDEAS PRESS
As the Client is also a self-publishing author, she was looking for a logo/brand for the publishing arm of her business, which also serves as a resource for other authors looking to self-publish. The name "Wild Ideas Press" brought to the Client's mind a light bulb, so this imagery was created in a warm yellow, complete with a simplified version of radiating light in the outer lines and coupled with a "typewriter" style font as a nod to the nature of the business of Wild Ideas Press.
MEDIA LIBRARY
A library of digital media was created for The Fire, The Water, The Blood, and Choices Like Rivers respectively, as well as for the Redemption Series and the collection as a whole. The purpose was to provide the Client with imagery appropriate for posting updates on social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as well as the Client's author website. Revised jackets for eBooks and audiobooks were also created as requested.
REDEMPTION SERIES
The Fire & The Water
The second and third installments in the Redemption series needed to maintain the same aesthetic and overall theme as the first novel, The Blood. Imagery depicting appropriate landscapes within Oklahoma that fit the narrative of the respective stories was overlaid against a light background. The vibrant water and fire visuals for each novel contrast vividly with the faded landscapes, creating a consistent 'mantel' above the title. The artwork was carried through the spine and back cover of each hardcover dustjacket.
