:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/89/89243/attachment_89243614 "This cover was designed for print and ebook distribution, and includes a custom photo illustration assembled from multiple sources, each inspired by the author's description of the main character, tone and setting of the book. The cover was designed to be attractive and eye-catching in a lineup of similarly-themed ebooks, as shown in the mockup.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71751/attachment_71751314 "I used watercolor textures and a faux binding-tape treatment to give this 8x10\" question-a-day journal a warm, inviting and optimistic feel. Bold and simple typography show at-a-glance what this journal is about.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71062/attachment_71062122 "I developed a layout I thought would translate well to a series. I gave the author's name a custom type treatment, and imagined that subsequent books in this series would feature a similar isolated portrait with an angled title with a color theme to mirror the book's content.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/69/69576/attachment_69576266 "This winning design required some bold and inviting typography to attract readers to a sensitive subject matter. A modern color palette and subtle textures add warmth.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/70/70760/attachment_70760085 "This challenge involved matching the work of a previous designer, without access to original assets or fonts--just a image of the first book's cover. The result needed to clearly match the first volume, with new background graphics and a new color scheme. Working within these parameters was a fun way to stretch my Photoshop skills.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71276/attachment_71276466 "I used a plaid motif in a deeply saturated Autumnal palette for this one--it made me think of family and picnics and being outside! Together with bold typography with a hand-drawn feel, this poster is warm, inviting, and, most importantly, communicates important information about this festival.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/70/70638/attachment_70638506 "This winning design combined a custom illustration of this client's summer festival venue with a modern and eye-catching color palette and easy-to-parse calendar typography.")
About
I'm a professional graphic designer turned librarian turned web programmer. I love my day job, but I miss design work--so here I am, enjoying the challenge of design briefs whenever I can!
I love the variety of projects I can be a part of here at 99designs; because I view each contest or project as an opportunity to practice my design skills, I do not use templates. Every design I submit is developed for that project or contest from scratch.
Thank you for looking--let's work together!

"SWilliams was so responsive to requests, changes and edits. All the while provided recommendations that would make the design better that we had not considered."
