M.E. Rostron Book Covers
Typography & Illustration
In 2018, I was introduced to a local author in Bellingham, WA through Village Books. Since then, I have designed all three book covers in the trilogy. I create custom illustrations for the front and back covers and occasionally provide line art for the book’s interior. For the trilogy project, I ensured consistency across all covers by using the same fonts and applying a cohesive "double exposure" effect.
Process
I worked with the author to create a cover that they were excited about. He first sent me examples of what he was envisioning. From there, I started looking at inspiration and started sketching. I worked closely with the author the whole time until we landed on a cover he was proud of.
All books are available on Amazon and in Washington and Alaska.
