The Brief
Author biography
Corey Osby spent several contracts working on a cruise ship in Hawaii as a bartender and on cruise staff. His experiences ranged from uplifting to lonely, from the supernatural to the traumatic. He then spent 5 years crafting this novel based upon his experiences as well as countless other crew that he interviewed to present a story that peels back the layers of the human experience living and working in extraordinary conditions in a time-bending thriller.
Book description
A curse on a Hawaiian cruise ship peels back a world that unravels right before the eyes of two crew members who possess their own dark secrets.

The Brief
Design needs
first and foremost this is a thriller - the title is a triple entendre {Sail, Sale, SOS) and the artwork should try to accomplish the same - a cruise ship sailing in the ocean that can (subtly) be confused for a slave ship and an imperialist sailing ship (think Christopher Columbus). On the forward hull can be a local girl laying on a surf board with a book in one hand and a pineapple in the other. In the foreground can be a message floating in a bottle.
