Action book cover with the title 'eBook Covers for “Origins of Honor”'

eBook Covers for “Origins of Honor”

These are the two designs created for an Action-Thriller Collection, which includes stories from several authors that are always set within a military environment. The main objective was to transmit in the imagery the concepts of “Honor”, “Duty” and “Sacrifice” within an atmosphere of combat. However, I also kept some high contrasts and a certain dark style that gives a sense of mystery and suspense, as it is needed in thrillers’ covers. It was also requested to connect the title and subtitle, forming a unique block, as well as a lettering that could convey a sense of “toughness”. The choice of the font and the scratched steel texture helped to achieve that goal.

I created this design for a western book about a Rogue Gambler. While there are traditional western designs, I wanted to come up with something that was vintage yet still modern. The contest holder asked for something that looked almost painted, so I blended several images together and touched them up so they looked somewhat like a painting. I kept the cover light so the title stood out clearly while not overpowering the overall deign.
