The following books were self-published on Amazon. I created them myself in Adobe Photoshop.
I was the author as well as the illustrator.
Holiday Caticorn is a book about the holiday's— mainly Halloween through New Years. For the cover design, I focused on the Caticorn character as I was aiming to the people who like caticorns and unicorns. The book ends in winter, so I used snow. I wanted the cover to sparkly and stand out, so I used stars and the color purple. Nothing is purple these days, so it stands out from other books.
For the back of Holiday Caticorn, I used the rainbow image directly from the book as that is a unicorn proverbial aspect and should be included.
The design of the Faeryland book was very straightforward. I wanted to show that the main character was going on a journey as that is the main plot of the book. It shows Alyssa running toward the world of Faeryland.
For the back of Faeryland, I wanted to convey the character of Alyssa and illustrate the entrapment she feels. Alyssa looks out the window for something she does not have and the brush encircling the back show the feeling of entrapment.
