Logo Design: The Claytons Conference

I'm happy to present to you this year's logo for The Claytons Conference.

The Claytons is the online conference for those who can't make the face-to-face conference of the Romance Writers of Australia.

Information on this conference should be coming up soon in Hearts Talk and the website, so keep a look out.

From the images I had sourced, the Claytons coordinator, Dana, liked this image to go with the Claytons 'Be The Book' and wanted the font colour to be like the sparkles. I therefore focused on the lettering and shadowing them so the colour of the font wouldn't be washed out.

Book Cover: Claire Baxter

I'm excited to show off the cover for Claire Baxter's latest release.

I played around with the fonts a little more than usual and different sizing. While Photoshop Elements isn't designed for text with a little bit of fiddling, it did what I wanted it to do. 

I totally see this cover as a team effort. Claire was a joy to work with. 

The other amazing thing. The cover has finalled in the Ebook Indie Cover Awards for March. How cool is that?!!!

Check out Claire's book on Amazon.

Banner - D.D. Line

I'm a bit slow in getting this up but this is a project that has been recently revealed.

I had fun mixing up the different aspects of this banner, especially the couple with the lightning background. I think it looks effective.

Check out D.D.'s blog HERE.

Banner: Fire & Snow, Khloe Wren

As a follow up to the Fire & Snow logo I did, I have now done a banner for Khloe Wren for the Fire & Snow series as well.

You can find it at Khloe's website.

The logo components are there just in a different format.

I used both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop with this one. I'm still not familiar with Photoshop its million and one functions yet. I can do a lot with Photoshop Elements and have learned my way around and still learning more.

I think that's the key to everything, to grow and develop, you have to be open to learning more.

Cover Design: An Elemental Tail

Shona Husk will be rereleasing her An Elemental Tail and I was luck enough to do the cover for it. It's a great story, so get it once it's released!

It was such an effort to go through photos of well built dripping wet men, I can tell you :D

Really happy with the result - this is the first time I've done a predominately monochrome cover and it really has worked out very well.
