Voila! My midterm assignment for Digital Publishing Class in all its glory:
a full-fledged dust jacket for Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison.

I'm so glad I chose this novel! It was so inspiring and I was
never out of ideas for my illustrations. You all should read it
if you're into... well, awesome things, because DWW is great.

Lots of work went into this one. It gave me quite the headache.
I worked all day today to get this done, but it was so worth it.
And I really learned some things about InDesign, which is good.

All of the information on the dust jacket was taken from
the original dust jacket that came with the hardcover book.
Other than that, everything was illustrated by me.

And of course I threw my name in there on the back panel
because I did illustrate it! It makes me feel special, anyways.

I'm really proud of this. I mean, it might not look like much,
but to me it's one of the best things I've ever created.

Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Created in InDesign & Photoshop CS3---finished February 21, 2009.

:boogie: Aww, really? I'm so glad you like it!
And coming from you, that really means a lot.

:XD: You know how when I work on a design for so long,
it eventually just looks "blah" to you even though it
may look amazing to others? That's why I think it
"doesn't look like much." I've been desensitized, lol.

:headbang: As do YOU!

"And it'll happen once again, I'll turn to a friend.
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up"-Blink 182 (Dammit)

:D Cool! I'm glad you think so.

But you know what? It looks even cooler now that it's wrapped around the book!!! :faint:

It does not! Yours is amazing in its simplicity. Very clean and natural.
Hence, why your opinion means a lot to me, lol. :hug:

Definitely! Long projects do that to you. It's annoying.
