:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/114/114657/attachment_114657350 "The author wanted the peach to be reminiscent of female anatomy to provoke interest. He wanted the text to be bold and for the cover to be eyecatching.
The challenge was for it to be provocative but not vulgar.")

They are colorful, attention-seeking, and very illustrative of the books (which I read and enjoyed very much!) Thankful to the client for finding me here on 99D to help with her project.")

One of the first things I do is to read his manuscript. This is not only enjoyable, but it always helps inform me as to what elements in the story may be pulled out in the book. Happy author, happy designer, it's really the best outcome!")

With this cover, I wanted to refer to the location (Nepal/India). I wanted it to be elegant, peaceful, anonymous. The water brings a sense of calm.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/147/147837/attachment_147837551 "One of the mileus in the book was a city in the desert with pyramids, and a girl with violet eyes featured. I wanted the design to pull you in, make you wonder what it would be like to BE in that world.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/147/147800/attachment_147800174 "I wanted to bring a very human element to this cover, because seeing the humanity is what needs to happen for people to get the message. This cover will make students imagine what it would be like to be there, and will make their parents petrified about the fact that their KID could be in your shoes. It's artistic, eye-catching, meaningful.")

The video background adds intrigue and depth. These books are mysteries, thrillers, and the website perfectly reflects that.")

The benefit to having Beau and Donna working together on your book cover/interior/website is that they will seamlessly collaborate to make your website a beautiful representation of your book.

Donna stayed up very late for multiple nights reading it, then came up with a cover design that knocked the author's proverbial socks off. (As an example of the care that goes into extremely high end projects, the suit in the stock image was originally pinstriped - Donna painstakingly removed every pinstripe in the image in order to make it reflect Turner's aesthetic!) We then worked on the interior design, which presented its own challenges as there were a lot of text messages and emails that needed to be tastefully displayed in it. Then Beau was up for the website. You may go to www.tovenusandback.com to see more closely how the website functions.
Please reach out to us if you would like to have the same type of cohesive, elite design done for your book and author website!")
