Design needs:
- a rendering of the symbol used by the main characters to mark their heists;
- a black background maybe with some texture or subtle indication of a city or other gritty urban environment in the background.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/149/149126/attachment_149126488 "There is magic, dragons, romance, betrayal, friendship, and war.
The target audience is mostly female - young adults and older.
Design needs:
- single focus in the middle with the words around it down the middle.
- the background as black dragon scales flecked with gold or with smoke/shadows and fire intertwined.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/148/148479/attachment_148479385 "In this fantasy book series, each volume is dedicated to one element. The first volume is Earth (volume 2: Ore, volume 3: Air). The most important thing is the recognisability of the series, so the basic structure should also work for the other parts.
The typography should therefore emphasize the element in particular, write \"EARTH\" at the largest size.
The first book's main character is the earth walker Narna Feuervogel with her staff (the character will be replaced for volumes 2+3). Narna has red hair, pointed ears, freckles, and green eyes and wears a dress made of leaves.")

Abducted over thousands of years, a human diaspora is spread across the cosmos, a slave species clinging to the legend of a place called Earth.")

- Bright color
- A simple design, mainly around the title
- With a simple graphic supporting the title
- One of the main themes in the book is the unreliability of memories and the confusion of the narrator so this could be used
- Genetically enhanced pigs and marine helmet with 'Get me out of Candyland' stenciled could be a single detail
- Avoid too cartoonish a cover despite the title.")

They will offer a menu featuring high-quality sausages, artisanal buns, and a variety of creative toppings. Additionally, Rescue Dogs will collaborate with local dog shelters to host adoption events, fundraising initiatives, and educational programs.
To attract attention from the large number of people passing by the kiosk at DC Wharf, it's important to use a color scheme that is eye-catching and vibrant.
I created a Dog Chef mascot for this project to make a point about the rescue mission of the kiosk.")

"As always, Marina is the best. I needed to have an older project tweaked a bit, and she was so great about it. I also needed to have a Spanish version created--I wanted it to have the same look and feel while dealing with the fact there were more words ..."
