Mission Details

hr

Fantasy

This novella needed to be immediately identifiable as a fantasy fiction genre book.

Versatile

This was the first of three books we were doing in this series so the central figure, Sasti, needed to be versatile and easily manipulated.

Series Logo

Instead of simply creating the text to identify the series it needed a readily identifiable symbol.

Features

Sasti has white hair and red eyes.  Those special features were not readily available in stock images.

Mysterious

James initial choice for Sasti was too limiting but it did indicate to us a sense of mystery.  We wanted to keep that intact.

Background

James’ blurb indicated a fiery blaze would be a good background.

Reconnaissance

Graphics

Typography

Reconnaissance for this mission involved finding flames, flaming items, an ancient church, an eye to turn into the logo, and a field.  Once found I worked on Sasti, added red eyes, turned her cloak purple, changed her hair to white and added white braids.  After that was complete I meshed together assorted items for the background and created the logo.  In all this was a fair to moderate level difficulty design.
