eBook cover and illustration for “The Christmas Cowboy” by Stuart Ward

eBook cover and illustration for “The Christmas Cowboy” by Stuart Ward

This is a Christmas book for kids and families to read together during the holidays. As the story is set in the North Pole, the author requested a very colorful and wintery atmosphere with vibrant tones of blue and cyan, that could catch the attention of the viewers. As the book is meant not just for kids but also for their adult family members, it was decided to follow a more realistic approach, instead of a cartoon style. The three main characters — a giant horse, a cowboy and a small elf — are the focal point of the entire illustration that I created for this cover. This illustration was entirely made in Photoshop, with several versions until it was reached the desired result. The main challenge was to represent those characters with all the details that were described in the text and still make them appropriate for a children’s audience. The vibrant colors were a big help to achieve that goal.

The Little Crew of Butchers

The Little Crew of Butchers

Francine Pascale Book Design 2017 _______ Lord of the Flies meets Misery? The Little Crew of Butchers is a psychological journey that finds protagonist Lucas Baird held captive by a gang of demented young boys in a small town off the coast of Long Island. The children, directed by a furious 12-year-old, turn savage, heaping hideous acts of torment and cruelty upon Lucas. The cover was designed to represent the duality of the story: Lucas running from adulthood mistakes that eventually lead to his unfortunate capture and the reckless emotion the children exhibit, fueled by infighting with their young tyrannical leader. I wanted to avoid displaying actual violence on the cover but instead focus on the internal fury that runs through each character.

Book cover for “Rummet innanför” by Anna Karlsson

Book cover for “Rummet innanför” by Anna Karlsson

“Rummet innanför” (translated from Swedish "The room inside") is the sequel of “Inte som du tror”, which book cover I had previously designed. Some events and details on the story led to the choice of the elements in the design. The main characters — Bella, Miranda and Erik — are on summer holiday. Bella is searching for answers about her family's history, after finding a revealing picture. Miranda is haunted by memories from a fire at her school. Erik is working at a soccer school for kids. As requested, the main scenario needed to also include a mansion, as well as a sports car. As in many books which target audience are teens, it was important to give some clues but without revealing too much of the plot. I followed the same style of the first book, as well as the placement of the characters and background effects. However, to better distinguish both books, I used a different color scheme with fresh tones to make the connection with summer season.
