My Very First Book Cover Published

A few weeks back I was approached to design a book cover. I had not a clue on how to go about this, but with my self taught graphics abilities and the desire to be creative, I willingly accepted the challenge. Using the publishing companies template I worked within the guidelines to design the cover. Naturally, due to type of book being horror category, I opted to use my photos from my creepy doll sculptures as part of the cover. :-) The title of the book is called "Dead & Decaying"

The book was finally published today and is available on Amazon..



I learned so much about this process and I am glad I accepted the challenge. It was a great experience and to see something I designed in print is really exciting.

The author, Scott M. Goriscak, writes books that are a collection of short stories in the horror category. I also had the opportunity to design his blog site. With my interest in dolls leaning towards the creepy side, it also gave me inspiration in my own work. I highly recommend the book at the fabulous price being offered. It is great reading and has a beautiful book cover design too! :-)
