Designing a Book Cover
As my husband is working on his novel I thought I’d start looking at book cover designs. He wanted a similar style to the one I created for his second book of short stories inspired by the extremely talent American designer Saul Bass. I posted my designs back in September on this post.

Whether it’s Johnny hacking through a door with an axe, Danny encountering the twins, or the … Continue reading The Shining
