Today I would like to share with you my process of Designing a Book Cover. I had the privileged to design a book cover for Annie Lee commissioned by Manifold Grace Publishing House. The title of the book is "The Interview: A Divine Meeting with God". It parallels the process of a job interview and interviewing for destiny with God.
I was given a few ideas from the creative brief: "i was thinking about man and a woman standing in front of a huge door - we see them from the back, she wearing a skirt suit, him a suit and the door is the height of the book cover..."
I ran with this idea and produced three different book covers.

I ran with this idea and produced three different book covers.
The Author liked the third version. The third version is a typographic image with a closed and open door being the I's in "Interview". It has sun rays coming through the open door. Take a closer look below. All of the Typography was done in Illustrator. The sun rays were done in Photoshop.
In the next revision, the Author did not want the I's to be doors. She liked the idea of the door being open with the sun rays therefore we made the adjustments below.
