Harbinger Book Cover
Personal Project // Book Cover Design
Client + Author // Maxine Hayes
Maxine is a budding author with an aptitude for writing horror and gore. She contacted me to work on the art for her second book, Harbinger. After several rounds of sketches, we landed on a scene from the beginning of the book that features both main characters standing in an alley with the full moon behind them. We leaned into the horror theme with the slasher-style lettering and black and red palette. This design pushed my illustration abilities as I haven’t drawn people in a long time. I love the moodiness of this cover and how it carries over to the back of the book. My favorite element is Locke’s ice-blue eyes which are prevalent in the story in various scenes.
