They capitalise on the internet boom and end up making a name for themselves within the industry. Eventually, regarding the ethics of their business, they begin to question whether their success is worth the trouble they have caused.\"
I created a cover that uses a glitch technique to look like \"scrambled porn\" from 1990s cable stations.")

Client wanted a gritty punk aesthetic for his mystery thriller. Using a limited palette of yellow, black and white with distressed type, I created an eye-catching cover for the first book in the series. Follow-up stories will have a similar aesthetic, with yellow changing to another bold color and different primary image.")

He wanted to include a man with flowers waiting at a door in a film noir style. Knowing that film noir was not a good style for a non-mystery novel, I took a different approach. I used a muted palette to fit in with the depression era as well as using a typestyle popular during that time. I added scuffed shoes effect and wear on the pants for a feeling of destitution.")
