I converted this book from a print book to ebook. I love what you can do to enhance an ebook to interact with the reader. Below are a few screen shots from iBooks. I created .epub and .mobi files.

Feel.Simple. Golf
I have a great golf swing because of this book. The author’s John and Paul took my basic swing and made it better. They love this game. When I was designing the book, I tried to show it and their will to improve everyone’s golf swing. Release date Fall 2016.

RMNP Natural History Handbook
This is an update on the first edition. I was able to update the design a bit and insert as many new photos as possible. There were many very exacting reviewers for this project. We had several rounds of revisions. Happy to say, everyone is still friends, and the book looks great!
Same Shit Different Day
This book talks about people doing the same thing everyday, but expecting different results. It discusses how to “jump the track” and get moving in a better direction. As a designer, illustrating time is tricky. I used a spiraling “Alice in Wonderland” type clock to give a timeless feel.

Money Secrets
I book about investing and making the most of our resources. The Ben Franklin peak-a-boo worked fantastic on the cover and I was able to carry it through to the interior. This book contains some detailed information. The trick for me to make the text navigatable the text for the reader.

Skiing and Sleeping on the Summits
This book is a sequel to Colorado’s Sleeping on the Summits. This book explores the winter adventures of Dr. Jon Kedrowski as he skis (and sometimes sleeps) on top of volcanic mountains in Washington, Oregon and norther California. The trick for me was to design each page different to keep the reader interested and motivated to turn the page. We added more detailed maps to give more information.

Experience the Feel of Simple Golf
Written by two golfers, they explain a new golf swing. The book is filled with photos, check lists, tips and resources. This book was so much fun to work on. The authors let me have a bit of creative freedom and it paid off huge for them.
Colorado’s Great Outdoors
This book celebrates all the parks, trails and wildlife open spaces the Colorado State Lottery has funded over the years. Many I had no idea even existed. Designed like a guidebook, each city or community is featured.
Colorado Fly Fishing
So much information, so little time. The authors wrote in a very straightforward, humorous way. I tried to reflect that in the design. It is very open, easy to follow, and navigate.
John Fielder’s Best of Colorado
Almost every word in this title is a fact — websites, addresses, and phone numbers. It is constantly being updated. The design of this book needed to be flexible when information changed, colorful to keep the reader interested and very organized so the reader wouldn’t get lost in the pages or on the road!
We are experimenting with offering this title as an interactive eBook as well as the traditional print version.
