This is my most recent cover design commissioned from a client in the States, it is my first job that I got through Reedsy—a network for publishing professionals who come from all over the globe. Reedsy was founded by Emmanual Nataf in 2014 after receiving funding from the European Union and has since built up a trusted reputation using professional editors, designers, marketeers and ghostwriters who have experience crafting quality books.
Written by Priya Ardis who has a background in computer science, Merlin Raj is a story about a service dog who finds his training is not enough when Mom Raj can't come home for the holidays. When he learns to use computer science in hopes of giving his best friend, Matthew, the perfect holiday, he finds his true purpose isn't just to help Matthew walk but to be part of the family.
For this brief, I designed a few variations of the cover using the authors’ illustrators artwork of Merlin—who’s rather cute!
