Spot 12 Redesign
The independent publishing house Raincloud Press asked me to redesign a book cover for author Jenny Jaeckel. The first time around I did not have creative control and both author and I agreed years ago that if we could ever get the chance for a re-do, we would do things different. Six years later, it actually happened and this is the result.
