Boss
Deborah Armstrong writes numerous romance novels. The is the start of a new series coming out around Christmas.
When God Says No
This is a powerful, multi award winning book and I wanted to emphasize sometimes God says no. Sometimes things will not go your way. What do you do then? I was able to mimic the cover “NO” onto chapter starts to reinforce the authors ability to keep moving forward.
Win/Loss Analysis
This book is all about the deal. Do you win? Why or why not? The author describes how to analyze a deal in very straightforward terms. I wanted the art to reflect the analysis — Win vs Loss — and the colors to be bold and direct. This is a beautiful book. It also won an IPPY award!

Presidential Deceit
This is the second book in a five-part series. The first two books were released and were wildly popular. We then decided to pull all the books together with a unifying design. The next three books (unreleased) were to look similar to the first two titles. This is a retooling of the second cover. The common elements are the “Hyrum Laney” lines at the bottom, the overlapping image (in this case the flag) and the large sans serif title font. The third book is due out mid-2017, the others by end-2017.

The Las Vegas Madam
This is a memoir about a women who started an escort service in Vegas. We needed to create a cover that drew in the reader, but didn’t turn them off, either. Lots of images, but how do we tell the whole story on the cover without exposing too much.

American Society for Virology Meeting
This tri-fold brochure publicized an annual scientific meeting in Fort Collins. I worked with scientists and organizers to design a brochure that incorporate a scientific feeling as well as highlight Fort Collins. The images came from CSU public relations (free usage if credit given) and scientific literature (the circular structures).
Heart of Fire: An Intimate Journey of Pain, Love, and Healing
This is an incredibly inspiring book detailing the life of a woman overcoming a childhood accidental burning. At age 9 she was badly burned by a water heater. She dedicates her life to not hiding in the shadows and turns this accident into a vocation to help other girls overcome obstacles. Her camp, Angle Fire, is highly regarded as a premier camp helping girls with self-esteem. Lesia Stockall Cartelli has been featured on Good Morning American and CNN. As a designer I needed a book design that inspired the reader and didn’t overcome the text. The design is simple and classic with a few completely Lesia touches.
