Godmother
Random House Books was in need of a solution for a new book entitled "Godmother," by Carolyn Sturgeon. Godmother is a retelling of the Cinderella story in a similar vein as the Wicked books, by Gregory Maguire. My solution was a mature, yet whimsical design, featuring texture, type, and color that helped portray the mood of the story, while also hitting the appeal of a specific target audience.

2*Sweet Album Design
2*Sweet is a massively popular band from Chicago. The concept of the album, entitled "Sleep Without Dreams," told the story of multiple dream characters coming together to celebrate a holiday called Funeral Moon. Little do the characters know that an evil is lurking just beneath the surface! The band is now wrapping up a tour and celebrating great success. Be sure to check out my Flickr page to see more details. And don't forget to pick up a copy of the CD at SleepWithoutDreams.com!
