Darling by Scarlett Drake is an MM age-gap romance that borders with very adult themes. Despite that, it is a love story and has layers to each character. To emmulate the sultry, and high stakes nature of the story a magazine shoot concept was used as inspiration. References to both Dazed and Political Mags were taken to deliver an engaging and intriguing design.

Teach Me K-Pop by Kaenyn King is a light, fluffy love story about a Korean Singer and American English Teacher falling in love while living world’s apart. With the saturated romance market of illustrated covers, this refreshing cover and interior design pulls in a new direction allowing readers to experience the story at a deeper level, uncovering easter eggs (like the red *accents* string of fate) only once they’ve finished the book.

Oleander by Scarlett Drake is a re-telling of Great Expectations, shifting the focus on the romance and turning it MM. It’s a story powered with depth, tension, drama and a love affair for the ages. It was my task to take the heart of this story and power it into delivering a cover and formatting that would engage audiences beyond only picking up the book.

To help support the author announcing their book I created a Reel with edited images. The author LOVED one image in particular and felt it resonated perfectly with the story and from there our journey began.
Hand drawn and then vectorised Oleander flowers were an added touch to this novels design. It reflects the title literally, the beautiful yet poisonous love story, and also hints to one special moment in the story.
